I used the name Syrkara to create another family, the dukes Syrkara that are cousins of Kier and the second line of the country that could claim rights to royalty. Also I created a countess that was also a cousin to Kier as a romantic interest for one of the PC (the one wielding the sword). She was the countess of Celebi, that at this moment was an independient fief between Helyssa and the allies of the warlord of Saral.
But no more Ianis, if you have more Ianis in the frontline, the Yarth priests would be sitting them in the throne instead of looking for Kier.
Hope that helps.
