Death of a Magnate

[ACU20 567]

 

 

 

The warmth of the world had vanished as winter approached, the cold winds blowing out the torches outside the gate of castle Staszak. For three years the Axionite Coalition had fought against tyranny on every front, securing the independence of the many peoples across Tahn. But the war was not yet over, the Pasnite army had fought since the very start, their duke at the forefront at every turn. The tired and secretly sickly Duke of Pasnia and Magnate of Krakow shakily finished his will as he felt the life fade from his body. Writing it on a single page and marking it with his ring in wax.

 

The tired and sickly duke rose steadily from his seat, disrobing himself and laying down upon his bed. Finally shutting his eyes, never to be opened again. As dawn broke the castle was beaming with life as news quickly spread of the Dukes sudden and peaceful death, his final words read for the people of Pasnia, which declared, as he lacked an heir to his throne, that Ser Patrek of House Roswell, Grand Hussar and Hetman of Pasnia, shalt take his place.

 

And so as the Staszak flame burnt out, another rose again.

 

“Hail Duke Staszak! Hail Duke Roswell!”
