History
Before the Greyhawk Wars, the city and lands surrounding it were under the control of Prince Grendemmen of House Torquann. Ivid V did not trust Prince Grendemmen to support him once the Greyhawk Wars started, and rather than risk the political backfire of taking the lands into royal trust during wartime, he had Prince Grendemmen murdered. Before doing this, he took a relatively obscure priest of Erythnul and granted him a small amount of land and the title of Prince, along with naming him a Judge of the Sessions. The plan was to kill Prince Grendemmen and his entire immediate family, thus creating a succession crisis and allowing him to appoint now-Prince Delglath to rule the city.
Unfortunately, the plan failed when the Prince's wife survived the assassination attempt, and remained in the Sand Castle in Rinloru, defying Ivid V's attempt to turn control over to Delglath. In frustration, Ivid V had Delglath turned into an animus. Eventually, she was successfully killed, and Ivid V marched an army to Rinloru and finally put Delglath in charge.
