The Hiregaards are a noble family that own the Borchava Duchy in northwestern Nova Vaasa. Faerhaaven, the strongly fortified seat of the family, overlooks the Little Borchava River. The family's patriarch is Duke Tristen Hiregaard whose preferred title is Sir Tristen. Although he collects the full taxes of Prince Othmar, Sir Tristen levies the tiniest amount of his taxes among the patriarchs of the Five Families (see below), a condition that's left the Hiregaard's finances in bad shape according to "S". The family's troop number is low, and Faerhaven is in a state of decay. Yorgi Hiregaard, Tristen's likely successor, is looking to remedy the situation.[1]
