Lord of Northfork, which he rules together with his two daughters, Tabetha and Guinevere; party accounts also name him leader of Swiftwater and Northfork. An older man built like the career soldier he is, heavy through the neck and shoulders, who dresses as a commander rather than a courtier. Both his daughters were engaged to be married to locally famous adventurer warriors, Trevor Lightfist and Michael the Hammer, and both died on Honor Day. Northfork is still in mourning, and he has since been fixed on tracking a figure known only as 'Ash' to Arla.

Campaign Notes
DM only — campaign-sensitive materialHe was framed by Madame Flicket for Tray Gallund's assassination, which makes him both a victim and a dangling political thread. 'Ash' is an unknown figure possibly connected to Arla or the Sparrow Tribe, and his reports on 'Ash' may be fabricated — whether the obsession is genuine is unresolved. The cause of his daughters' deaths on Honor Day is unspecified in the sources; set against their betrothals, that loss carries considerably more weight than the record previously suggested.
Record Notes
About this record: art and source provenance, discrepanciesAppearance of record: images/0109-founding-of-trayalon-gallund-river-empire/caivil_strong_01.jpg. SOURCE for his rule of Northfork — h-109 ch-03 states it plainly: 'Northfork (Free River) is ruled by the Caivil Strong and his two daughters, Tabetha and Guinevere.' currentLocation was changed 2026-08-03 from the hedged 'NorthFork (probable)' to the location id 109-northfork, with relatedTo links added for the settlement and the swiftwater faction. RELATEDTO ORDERING UNVERIFIED — the same source records that Tabetha and Guinevere were 'both engaged to be married to locally famous adventurer warriors, Trevor Lightfist and Michael the Hammer', but neither it nor this record says which daughter was promised to which man. The pairing in relatedTo is therefore a guess at ordering; verify before using it. ART CONFLICT — two depictions, and they are not the same man. caivil_strong_01.jpg is an older, grey-bearded commander in a steel breastplate and pauldron; caivil_strong.jpg is a younger man with long reddish-brown hair in a heavy fur-collared cloak. The armoured bust was taken as the appearance of record because it matches the Fighter/Commander record — a man who rules a fortified river settlement and has buried two daughters. Flagged for the author. ART DEFECT — the fur-cloak version has the character's NAME rendered into the bottom of the image as a caption, and it is that version the site currently serves at web/public/images/entities/character/caivilstrong.webp (it resolves via the display-name key 'caivilstrong'). A card lays its own HTML title over the art, so the baked-in caption shows up twice. Recommend replacing it.
