Swordgard, 19.06.297
Upon returning home, the three sisters were met with heartbreaking news — their father was no longer in this world, and they now faced the question that had long weighed on everyone's mind: who would become the heir to the lord's title? Alas, over the following three months, these discussions led to nothing but scandals, which was certainly unbecoming behavior for northerners. Adata and Emsia each saw only themselves as the rightful heirs, while Nosi was obsessed with ensuring that "the title pass to the most worthy" (whatever that might mean). Fortunately — after the mysterious explosion in the south — the intensity of the monster onslaught from the north diminished, which helped the defenders of Swordgard restore their defenses, which had suffered from months of low morale. However, in Snowgale, during one of the ongoing debates over the succession, a new threat emerged in an old guise well known to the older generations:
Renavan the Pious, demonstrating magic unseen in Tezoth, declared that the current generation of rulers had failed the kingdom's subjects and was in need of salvation, which he promised to deliver with his own hand. According to his words, whoever sided with him would become the next lord of Swordgard. Given that the northerners were aware of the conflict flaring up in the south between the capital and Estellia, this unexpected proposal was received with particular unease. At present, the Deus of the past was in Snowgale, awaiting a response.
Adata has summoned Rezara to discuss a matter of great importance (you are in the section of the lord's estate allotted to you).
