Sir Tristen Hiregaard

Duke Tristen Hiregaard is the patriarch of the Hiregaard family. His preferred title is Sir Tristen. 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 Hiregaard family is one of the five families that ruled Nova Vaasa by rotating the position of prince among their respective patriarchs according to a schedule called the Cycle of Stewards. Sir Tristen has served as prince three times: from 671 to 673 under the tuteledge of a regent (Sergei Hiregaard); from 694 to 698; and from 719 to 723. Sir Tristen served as regent from 729 to 733.

In 729 Kethmar Bolshnik was serving as prince when he died in office. His son Othmar became prince in his sted, under the tutelege of a regent, Sir Tristen, at his father's request. At the end of the Bolshnik term of office, Sir Tristen stepped down but Prince Othmar refused to do likewise, claiming that the regency had robbed him and his family of their turn. By remaining in office, Prince Othmar broke the Cycle of Stewards. He remains in office today.
