reading the background article on Brevoy, I was reminded of the two things that really stuck out from the campaign setting.
-The entire ruling family disappeared, and in recent memory, too. Basically any PC would have been alive during that event.
-A giant tower went into lockdown at the same time. No one has been seen since.
I'm wondering if they're might be anything from Kingmake that touches on these events, or if these are long-standing "plot threads" for the campaign setting that DMs can expand as they please. I ask because I know my players, and any mention of a fortress would have them running off immediately. (See the number of people clamoring for Viperwall levels.)

These are adventure hooks that we included to make Brevoy an interesting place for someone to set an adventure or campaign. Since "Kingmaker's" about the Stolen Land and the River Kingdoms but not so much about Brevoy, there's not going to be much more about these events in Kingmaker. We MIGHT touch on one or both of them in the "Continuing the Campaign" chapter in Pathfinder #36.
And since it sounds like you know your players, you should probably NOT mention the lockdown tower, but instead perhaps mention how there's rumors that a bandit lord has claimed an old keep on the shore of the Tuskwater...

That's good to hear. The character I have in mind is a bastard (as in the campaign trait) of the previous king, who intends to carve out his own kingdom and continue his father's legacy (an order of the cockatrice cavalier). I was a little concerned that events that unfold in Kingmaker would mess with that background story...

I like all the rumors about Choral and the Red Dragons. I have a player who picked the trait raised by Magical being, gives +2 to caster level if you miss some. And he's a sorcerer with Draconic blood line. So I just said one of the noble houses is still paying off a debt Choral incurred with another minor Red, not mentioned. And he ended up being at least partly raised by it because of his Dragon bloodline stuff. Works great for history fluff you can tie your character hooks in with.
