Thank you for choosing to tell Alyiakal’s story. I’ve enjoyed learning as much as we can about the First through him. I just finished Sub-Majer’s Challenge, and it had me wondering how many Cyadoran dynasties were there? We know about the first Emperor, and the second, Kiedral, as well as Toziel, Lorn, Alyiakal, the Emperor in Alyiakal’s time, and the imperial family at the fall of Cyador. Did any of the imperial bloodlines survive? Were Lorn’s descendents the last dynasty, which fled to Hamor? Was Kiedral’s wife an ancestor of Ryalth? Since you’ve indicated you don’t wish to go into the founding of Cyador itself, I can only hope you might provide us another story continuing the development of Hamor after Heritage of Cyador. Looking forward to Legalist, Last of the First, and Premier! Thank you!

Lorn’s distant and generally “watered-down” descendants are the forebears of Lephi, the last emperor of Cyador. Ryaelth is definitely an ancestor of Ryalth. As for more Recluce stories, we’ll just have to see.
