Jarl

A strong Voyevoda, she rules the Sky Island System of Harcourt Circle.

History
She forcibly took the title from the previous ruler, and killed him. She immediately ingratiated herself with Corin, the leader of the Bear Clan at the time by sending him a famous sword in the possession of her predecessor. It completed a set of swords that supposedly were owned by the Fourteen Paladins. With her position assured, she ferreted out the last of the rulers supporters and forced their loyalty to her.

She reformed the Island, and turned it back to agriculture, as the soil in Harcourt is very rich. Jarl also began some building projects to keep her subjects busy during the months that nothing could be done in the fields. This lead to Harcourt being a balanced agriculture/industry/military Sky Island. She decided that she could influence the Emperor of the Dragon's Peak and began heavy trading with him.

During a party thrown at the Dragon's Roost Palace around Year 9990, she met the Baron of the Flying Waters. He revealed to her that the Emperor was planning a rebellion and that they could use her help in it. She agreed. She had already been sending supplies to Dragon's Peak, but now she sent skilled workers as well. Then, she sent word to Osric, the Voyevoda who had supported her coup. She informed him of her intention and was able to convince him to join her.

She has fought off many raid from the Pillar Alliance, and has had to deal with repairing a large amount of damage to her fields. Jarl convinced the Emperor to send some of his fleet to protect the island, as it is an important part of the trade network and food stuffs.
