Here's a couple of nobles that I worked on for the A Festive Occasion adventure (which takes place in 1105) who didn't make the cut. They were left out because they didn't have any real role to play, so as stated in the header, they are not canonical.
Carola Santanocheev, Marchioness Santanocheev
The oldest child of Count Sebastian of Fornice, representing her father at the Senate Assembly.
Note: Carola gets killed or abdicates or gets removed from the succession at some point before 1120, leaving Frederick to become Count of Fornice when his father dies. It would be good to show the Emperor's powers to remove unsatisfactory heirs from lines of succession, just to emphasize one of the ways the Imperium differs from a classical feudal system. Maybe she's a ditz? Maybe she's a machiavellian mastermind who gets involved with the Ine Givar?
Nirkhu Kiileshrigii, 19th Countess of Mora, 21st Marchioness Kiileshrigii
The first count of Mora was Marquis Shui Kiileshrigii, a sector admiral in Delphi who fought loyally for Gustus during the Civil War but surrendered on terms after Gustus was defeated. After the war he was transferred to a staff position at the Deneb Sector Navy HQ and spent over a decade there. In 631, he was honorably retired from the IN and appointed to the newly created County of Mora.
Relationships with the duchesses of Mora have always been civil, but rarely cordial, as the county is an administrative layer interposed between the duchy and the world of Mora, both held by the same individual. In effect, the counts have served the emperors as a secondary conduit into the affairs of the duchy and as watchdogs. Traditionally, the counts of Mora marry outside the Spinward Marches and frequently outside the Domain of Deneb. There is no official requirement that this be so, but when the heir to the 13th Count married a daughter of the Count of Fornice, he was invited to move to Capital and his younger sister eventually inherited the title.
