[@TheRedWatcher] Two quick questions.

1. How long ago was the Frozen Tears incorporated into the kingdom? This is more of me asking for a clarification, I don't need a specific time just something general, but the modern shape of the kingdom has been in place for about a thousand years now. My current understanding is that they've always lived there but because they're isolated by rough terrain and weather and because people didn't think they were anything more than just cold mountains, you weren't really "discovered" until more recently when all of the stuff happened.

2. What is your relation to House Vyjapult? Are they directly sworn to them? Or are they sworn to someone else who in turn is sworn to Vyjapult? Basically where are they on the pecking order?

1) You would be correct. This was a more recent discovery. Since they were so remote, no one knew that anyone was living up there. The Great Grandfather of Varan is the one who discovered the Silver and the people of the mountains.

2) And they are directly sworn to the House Vyaput.
