History
During the tail end of the Greyhawk Wars, Prince Farland was a driving force behind the attempt to put his nephew then-Prince Xavener on the Malachite throne, driven by the increased crime rate in Jalpa, which he saw as a predictor of trouble from the east that would cause even more problems for them if they didn't take steps to get ahead of it. He gathered troops and began to gather allies to the cause as well. He knew that he couldn't be the one to publicly make the bid, due to his known rivalry with Princess Bersheban, and thought Xavener was the best candidate. The point became irrelevant with the fall of Rauxes and the disappearance of the throne in question, though Xavener was the Darman Prince who did end up becoming king.
