Christopher Riker, also known as Christopher Koart,[note 1] was regent of Corwell during the reign of Cymrych Hugh, the first High King of the Moonshae Isles, in the first half of the 3rd century DR.[1]
Relationships[]
He had a son, Cedric Riker, who would go on to succeed him as regent of Corwell.[1]
History[]
Christopher was a trusted champion of High King Cymrych Hugh.[1] After Cymrych suffered grave injuries against Kazgoroth in the Year of the Student, 201 DR,[2] he appointed Christopher as regent in Corwell to steward the rule of the Hugh Dynasty.[1] Meanwhile, the newly crowned High King moved his seat to Caer Callidyrr.[3]
When High King Cymrych ultimately succumbed to his injuries in the Year of the Storm Crown, 250 DR, he was succeeded by his thirteen year old son, Warren, who established the Cymrych Dynasty of Callidyrr. With such a weak heir to the throne of High King, the lords of the Ffolk began to squabble amongst each other.[2] At this time, Christopher's regency ended and he was succeeded by his own son, Cedric.[1]
Christopher passed away six years later in the Year of the Thousand Snows, 256 DR.[1]
