Noteworthiness

Vizier Hurgbore Spoliator, first of his name, ascended to Vizierdom through plunder. He was a master of siege weaponry and could weild a cannon solo, using his massive Bugbear strength. Although not mentioned by Carnegie, it is possible to ascertain that Hurgbore was a follower of the Artilleryman of the Goblin Pantheon. The Artilleryman was a Bugbear-aligned deity and had associations with firepower, which is reflected both in Hurgbore's occupation and his noble crest, features is a purple and yellow flame.
He is listed as having accumulated his wealth as a Major in the Terran Military Campaign, wherein he plundered enough riches from South Star to establish his own noble house, the House of Spoliator. Hurgbore became the First of His Name and was promoted from Major to Colonel.

History

Goldday, Thiefmoon, 1312

Subvizier Cassiopeia Stargazer-Greenskin gifted a copy of this set of encyclopedias to Subvizier Victor Dargent, with the hopes of fostering a better relationship with House Dargent. Published that year, Cassiopeia got Victor the encyclopedias before he had the chance to get a set for himself.

Needleday, Sailormoon, 1313

Victor's younger brother, Katib Hugo Dargent "borrowed" the encyclopedias from his brother's room and read them while he was waiting for his pet Bunbun, Connie Furr, to return from the Baharat Menagerie, where she was collecting his altered armour from Martini.
