Regicide

The last sound you would ever hear is the voice of your dear friend Lord Gilbert, saying "I am sorry that it must end this way, my king." You feel a burning hot sensation in your chest and as you look downward, the point of a sword is sticking out of your chest, a dark red liquid dripping down slowly. You realize it is your own blood and hear voices whispering "For Itheria!" and "Die, heretic!". Wait, was that Lady Vessa?

And then, nothing.

Thus ends the reign of King Bryce, First of His Name and Demon Consort. His time was short and filled with lust and debauchery, and as he began to neglect his duties to the kingdom, the council slowly uncovered his sins and decided to act. Murdering both the King and the Queen, they usered in the era of infighting and conflict as there was no clear lineage. Many of the less loyal areas of the kingdom rose up and began a war, that would last for decades, fighting for land, for religion and to finally settle old rivalries and grudges.
