Thanks for your response, Krasiph!

Regarding your point about the time between the new nobles and the old nobles, I don't find that very compelling because, narratively, Mercer explains some things in ways that will make sense to the players and audience, rather than only what would make sense to the characters. Also, Mercer has a tendency to repeat specific phrases (gaping maw, find purchase, siggle/sigil, etc.), so his and his NPCs' repetition of a phrase is not itself indicative.

Regarding your point about "remaining despots" and "former nobles", Mercer did refer to "the old nobles" and "the actual nobles" when discussing the "new nobles".

However, your newly-provided citation (, part 2, at [?t=39m8s 0:39:08]), while not definitive, is much more credible because of the phrasing. On the basis of that citation, I recommend:
 * keeping the New Nobles page;
 * updating the New Nobles references;
 * updating the Briarwoods page, including a link to New Nobles;
 * adding a Category:Factions subcategory for "Category:New Nobles"; and
 * adding the relevant pages to Category:New Nobles.

What are your thoughts?
