**Edwin picks up the parchment and looks it over one last time before picking up a quill and dipping it into the ink. He signs his name. He begins on a new parchment and quickly tosses it onto the table. It reads**
I King Edwin Sheffield here by abdicate the Crown of Salvus to King Godfrey the first of his name, may it live on in peace and prosperity.
To him go all lands within the current borders, all towns and cities, aswell as the remaining wealth of Salvus a sum of 40,000 minas.
-Signed, Edwin Sheffield
**Edwin whispers into the commanders ear and he leaves the room returning moments later carrying a heavy war axe, Edwin stands and grabs it**
This is the Axe of Riven, born from the dwarven slagworks, its head is inlaid with mithril, its handle part of the first tree to be felled in Riven. She has been with me most of my life and luckily She came with me when I left Riven to help run Salvus or she would be in the hands of thieves.
**Edwin clenches it in his hands before expertly swinging the heavy yet well balanced weapon, it slices the air with a swoosh. He walks to the rex and holds the axe with two outstretched hands.**
My axe is now yours, I wish for the bloodshed to end, once and for all.
