Knights of Tezoth

Swordgard, 19.06.297

Upon returning home, the three sisters had to face heartbreaking news — their father was no longer in this world, and they were left to answer a question that had long intrigued everyone: 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 undoubtedly unbecoming behavior for northerners. Adata and Emsia saw only themselves as the rightful heirs, while Nosi was obsessed with ensuring that "the title would pass to the most worthy" (whatever that meant). Fortunately — after the mysterious explosion in the south, the intensity of the monster onslaught from the north decreased, which helped the defenders of Swordgard restore the defenses that had suffered during months of low morale. However, in Snowgale, during one of the recurring debates on the succession, a new threat appeared in an old and well-known guise 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 bring 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 escalating conflict in the south between the capital and Estellia, this unexpected proposal was received with particular tension. Now, the Deus of the past was in Snowgale, awaiting an answer.

Adata summoned Rezara to discuss a very important matter (you are in your allotted part of the lord's estate).

Ooh, Stefania's theory was right! 😎
