Rhoglos Bijäl

b 2589, d 2634 at the Battle of Kadraskan. married Hurena in 2613. Only heir to Rhungast Bijäl, Rhoglos Bijäl fled into hiding after his father, Grand Duke Rhungast Bijäl was poisoned in 2626. Rhoglos was already about thirty seven when his father was poisoned. When the Aurician Senate staunchly refused to recognize him as the Grand Duke and the military leaders would not intervene, the heir panicked with plots of assassination attempts and was moved to flee with his Medibgóëse House Wizard, Steborn Hallagunst, swiftly in 2626 to Aurician Agogia with the rest of the household. Soon after, the Dukes and other complicit nobles determined to change the form of government. In Agogia, the Bijälians (partisans of House Bijäl) planned their return which came about six years later in 2632 with Amísbë's Revolution. Amísbë Almikkis stayed in Aurice and pretended to support the revolution, professing abuse at the hands of Rhungast Bijäl. In fact, she was secretly in contact with the Bijälians and ingratiated herself with the household of the newly chosen Lord Governor General. She got close enough to murder him in 2632 so that adherents of House Bijäl took over the palace and made ready for Rhoglos to return from Agogia.

Rhoglos and Steborn Hallagunst along with their supporters chose not to stay in Aurice, but quickly left the city to pursue the republicans who fled through the Throe Wastes. They met up at Kadraskan. Rhoglos died in 2634 at the age of about forty four at the Battle of Kadraskan along with Hallagunst when the republican forces defeated the Bijälians. His son, Stallos (born 2615, about 19 years old in 2634) had remained in Agogia and fled into permanent exile in Barathorn. In Aurice, Amísbë Almikkis was murdered by servants of the household who panicked.
