Epilogue of the Conspirators

With the dawn, the civil war was over. Thanks to Ophelia's eloquence, the loyalists finally laid down their arms, and Navirius's forces took the palace. However, by this time, Elmer's trail had already gone cold. The king left Alrion and disappeared in an unknown direction. Search parties were immediately sent after him, and a large reward was offered for the former ruler's head.
The next day, Navirius was crowned the new king of Alrion. In his speech, he promised to rule fairly and justly, and also vowed to resolve the problems left over from Elmer's reign. However, he felt a mixture of emotions inside. Despite achieving his goal, he had paid for it not only with the blood of innocent people but also with the life of his beloved. And the proposals for political marriages, coming from his advisors, only added insult to injury. Nevertheless, there was some sense in their words; it was unlikely that the neighbors would readily recognize the usurper as the new ruler. Rather, they would try to take advantage of Alrion's precarious position for their own purposes. And a marriage would help the young king gain new allies.
Ophelia remained by Navirius's side, acting as one of his chief advisors. Among the common people, rumors even spread that she was the true ruler of Alrion, using the former general as her pawn. Be that as it may, the priestess was doing a good job, supporting the king with wise advice and ensuring that his reign was truly just.
Tizetrium decided to postpone new expeditions, remaining to help the new king. The death of Sir Erseyd threatened the city with a surge in crime, so the great warrior was forced to take on the responsibility of restoring order. At least until a replacement was found for the deceased head of the guard.
Sir Gore was posthumously awarded the title of national hero. In memory of his fondness for alcoholic beverages, the warrior's tombstone was made in the form of a mug of ale. Shortly after that, an establishment called "The Minotaur's Head" was also opened in his honor, becoming the most popular tavern in Alrion. It was there that great warriors gathered to remember their fallen comrades or tell another tale about their exploits.
Hasumi, as in life, remained in the shadows. Only the new king remembered her in the evenings, and Tizetrium sometimes raised a glass in memory of her and Gore.

Let Mirki and Arandor write their own epilogues, as long as they don't contradict each other. That is, Selenid may well set her sights on one of the positions that became vacant after Erseyd or Navirius, for example..
