Esenor (K5)

Esenor is held by Baron Kisan Tesla, age 48, from Earl Curo of Gardiren. The keep was built in 285 and rebuilt in 525. Esenor is a small but wealthy barony, with rich soils and lush meadowlands. The Baron’s kennels produce some of Kaldor’s finest hunting hounds. Sir Kisan counts himself one of Rekela Tyrnal Dariune’s closest friends and confidants. Sir Kisan is a shrewd negotiator and brilliant intriguer. Esenor’s central location in Kaldor enables the baron to travel easily to the halls of power. He has many friends and contacts at court, in the Laranian Church, and in the powerful clothiers’ and mercantylers’ guilds. He is friendly with Lady Erila Kaphin, who sometimes visits him at his lodge at Padel. Of course, many powerful men distrust his political abilities. Sir Kisan is married to Lady Orella, oldest daughter of Earl Hemisen Curo, but they separated in 718 after 16 years of stormy marriage. Lady Orella is now the Bailiff of wealthy Tisbury Manor, where she lives with their two daughters who both dread the prospect of being selected for marriage. It is widely known that both girls also loathe their father. Some jest (quietly) that Sir Kisan can “charm an adder, but cannot kiss a wife for fear of poison.”
