Is the Lumber Consortium's Jemi Arkona related to the Korvosa Arkonas?

The name is so iconic among many of us long-term Pathfinder players; I saw it while reading through the Shining Kingdoms book and my eyebrow raised.

Coincidence, or has the Consortium been infiltrated by a (more) nefarious entity? Glorio and kin will always be favorites of mine; is anything written about this Jemi outside of this book?

Mike McArtor was key in creating Darkmoon Vale and Korvosa WAY back in the early days of Pathfinder, and I suspect he either re-used the name without realizing it or threw it in there as an easter egg... but no, the Consortium hasn't been infiltrated in the same way that those in Korvosa were.

Ah well. Perhaps it's a distant cousin of the original Pre-Bahor Arkona family! Somehow. I think the Consortium one is a Dwarf actually. Darkmoon Vale is a blindspot of mine and I didn't realize that name was actually much older!

The Shining Kingdoms book has absolutely gotten me extremely excited for the upcoming plotlines, so kudos there. Great stuff in this one.
