Sirk Am Peshwa is the title given to the leader of all the Peshwa tribes. I assume the character mentioned as The Nomad in the FFC is also this characcter. In DA1, the Sirk Am Peshwa is said to be a corrupt member of the Bortai tribe who has been bought out by the Thonians.
However, in Riders of Hak, it is said that the current Sirk Am Peshwa is Peshwa na Jota of the Irfat, and that he has been the Sirk for several decades. Jota also does not strike me as the easily corruptable type.
Any thoughts on how to reconcile this? It seems to me like the D20 line tried to push adventure elements from the DA series into the future. Could the unnamed Bortai from DA1 be a future leader of the Peshwa?

The Bortai Sirk was a past leader. Far past, at that. The time difference between the DA series and the d20 version is quite large. So, make it huge, or make it recent. Heck, the traitorous Bortai Sirk could have been a cousin, uncle, or the father of Shepro that perished early in his life and gave him the drive to become a Baron. Or, the Bortai Sirk may be why the whole clan is so untrusting of outsiders and paying a penance of self-exile and self-denial.

Several good ideas there Jeff! I appreciate you pitching in alot. In some ways it might be useful to consider the DA series and the D20 series parallell realities. Most events and elements will be similar, but may occur at different points in time. All the options you list are usable. Not really sure which one I'd go for at the moment...
