Dirk Khankari
Prince of Gartcha
Some say that the Prince, a mere 50 winters old at the time of his death, was unlucky. Who would have thought that his horse would throw shoe on an afternoon ride just outside the city gates? Others saw a more insidious hand behind his death, whispering that in truth, it effectively brought his wife to power in the city as his son seemed to have little interest in ruling. Whatever the cause of death, Dirk will be remembered for his steady, if boring hand, at the tiller of Gartcha. His tendency to leave things alone allowed trade to flourish and for the citystate to start to approach its rival Yaty, in economic might.
