Assault on Absalom 9-00 boon query

With the Noble Heir (Sovereign Court) boon, I was wondering what were the particulars/details/history of the noble houses mentioned (al-Hadir, Arpador, Caperina, and Tullian)?

Does anyone have any information regarding these houses? I have to select one, and am wondering which would best fit the bloodrager now known as "Lady" B'hka.

Please advise.

a little more information about lady B hka would be handy

You were supposed to meet them in the adventure in order to earn that boon, so you should have learned a little about them at that time. But I know it's hard to take good notes on the details of each house in the hectic environment of a multi-table special, or remember all the details, if you even learned them as you went.

So it would be nice if that info were available online somewhere for us to look them up.

In my case, I joined the Qadiran family, as I have a theme running with my PC that I played in this adventure. Despite being an Ulfen human from the Land of the Linnorm Kings, she now has two signet rings tying her to Qadira.

Hmm, all three families seem to have been added to Pathfinderwiki.com:

Caperina family
al-Hadir family
Arpador family

Fairly sparse, since there isn't a lot of info and some of it could be considered spoilers.

My notes (as a player) say the Arpador family is mercantile, focusing on the cattle trade. The other families just have notes on their known speech tics or other stuff that's in the wiki.

Something like that, but as the other part of the info is something you need to find out with a Knowledge check, I didn't put it in the Wiki.

Got the info I was needing!

Since B'hka is suli (GM boon from couple of years ago), it makes sense she would gravitate towards al-Hadir.

Thanks everyone!

I'm digging into this too, the special was to loud and rushed to really get a grasp of who these people where.

Time to start digging through play by posts of the special?

Any luck finding something about Tullian, anyone?

This is probably too late for you, but I'll drop it here for anyone else wanting to know.

Assault on Absalom spoilers:

The Arpadors exaggerate their formal Taldan accents and mannerisms. Marton Arpador is the very fashionable patriarch. They were cattle merchants who bought their nobility. Basically, they have a bit of an inferiority complex about their paid-for noble status, so they overplay the part. They hide in their house because they're afraid, not because they're selfish.

The Caperinas' matriarch is Annalia Caperina. The family is from Cheliax, but have renounced Asmodeus. Annalia found religion in response to the upcoming seige, though, which embarrasses the rest of her family. Like most Chelaxians, they're very lawful.

The al-Hadirs are Qadiran and all wear their hair long. Naadhira is their stubborn matriarch and a worshipper of Sarenrae. When Taldor and Qadira were more actively at war, this house included many great war heroes. Naadhira is ashamed of this for some reason.

The Tullians, unlike the other three, tried to evacuate instead of holing up in their house. The undead kept them from getting to their private ship. They aren't good swimmers, but made the desperate decision to jump in the water, hoping the undead wouldn't pursue. The interactive doesn't give any information about them because the goal is to pull them out before they drown, not convince them to leave their houses. It's not even said which country they hail from. They're so grateful to be saved that they rally to the call above and beyond the others, getting many other noble families to join in the fight.
