Shireroth

He conspired to kill me.

My Ghost will now rest. Long Live Kaiser Andelarion Kalir!

Wouldn't Jacobus be the sore loser since he forced himself in illegally?

Was hoping you'd side with that. Loki can crown himself all he likes, but the true identifier of the Throne is the Sword of Vengeance.

"One last word, Vengeance is mine, and only I know where it is hidden. Without the sword, there is no Kaiser, But here friend, let me lead you to it"

I'd rather bury myself (in misdirected words) than have my murderer speak at my funeral.

I'm going to assume you're joking.

Not Brahman, but a good try.

You've already had a hand in assassinating me once, are you so unsure of your skill?

Haunting troubles?

One preceded by the legal and rightful Kaiser of Shireroth. Of course, you're more than welcome to attend.

"Don't worry old friend, they accused me of betraying you before this day. Let them parade in false crowns the same way they parade the laws uot;

Quite dead. But if we have gods why not ghosts?

Hypothetical posts? I never gave up the Duchy, that was never awarded to anyone. I suppose you could also take that way, but won't it look odd when you hand it to Ardashir? Would almost look like I was telling the truth wouldn't it?

Jacobus, while you were offering to "assist" me, you were plotting against me. Deny it if you like, but thats the fact.

Regardless, unless this is opposed by the "gods" it basically means that if Jacobus becomes Kaiser, Shireroth has no respect for its own rule of law.

My explanation. They say dead men cannot speak, but the fortune of our situation is that this is a game (everyone please remember that). Let me ask a number of questions which are pertinent to my reason: 1. Why was Ardashir not made Steward? 2. Why was Jacobus not made Kaiser? 3. Why was I killed? C...

Jonas, don't demand anything from me.

There was good reason for this decision. I will illuminate shortly. However it concerns the manner of my death and the means by which it was allowed to happen. Regardless of the nice narrative, I did not want to abdicateyet. However since I was being "advised" to do so, it seemed the best for Shirer...

There is just reason for this. I will explain shortly.

Hasan contemplated what the Khan had said, and considered his options. He lit another cigarette and took a final sip of Scotch.

"I have considered the fate you've proposed, I think I'll do it my way".

Hasan stood and toasted no one in particular.

Imperial Decree #286 I, Kaiser Hasan I of the Imperial Republic of Shireroth, Regent of the Kingdom of Babkha, Duke of Elwynn do state the following as my last will upon my death. 1. I name Baron Andelarion of the Elw, Count of Eliria and Utasia, Lord of Cape Farewell as my heir and successor to the...

Hasan sipped the Scotch while a series of papers were put before him. "I trust you'd likeo be written into this?", Hasan picked up the pen and lowered his eyes back to the paper. "Nothing more than what was already arranged" The Khan pondered the situation, suspecting his future in the Empire, "As y...

Hasan knew where this was going. He'd noticed the dark man with the driving gloves had not moved from the door. The others at the table held their eyes low while the Khan busied himself with a report. Hasan speaking in Babkhi continued: "If this is going to go as it seems, let us at least conduct it...

"What brings you such consternation that you would behave this way Lord Khan?" Hasan asked before seating himself. It was one thing for the Khan to invite the Kaiser to his private club as opposed to the palace, but it's another to subject him to this complete insolence. Having diplomatically oblige...

The Convoy of trucks drove through the city streets toward the Lycurgus Club. Located street-side with an unassuming black painted door merely two steps from the sidewalk, the Club was a local exclusionary diversion typical of the Khan's dislike of anything "common and accessible". He had frequently...
