[QUOTE="tetrasodium, post: 7858172, member: 93670"] This is just silly, I;m going to quote a couple examples of the newspaper clippings because there are people who don't know what you are talking about. The Korranberg Chronicle [spoiler="IN THE THRALL OF THE VAMPIRE KING"] Kaius ir'Wynarn III emerged from the shadows like a villian in one of kessler's plays. His guardians kept him hidden during his youth while his aunt Moranna served as the regent of Karrnath. So it was a surprise to many when he burst forth to ckaim his crown & his power, all the moreso because of his uncanny resemblance to Kaius I. the rulr who plunged Karrnath into the Last War & instituted the brutal system of laws that bears his name. Given the circumstances of Kaius III's Ascension, it's hardly surprising that the new king would face challengers from the proud warlords of Karrnath. Some questioned his lineage & ability to command. But the most unusual challenge came from the warord Drago Thul asserted that Kaius III was actually alive? Kaius I had elevated the blood of vol in Karrnath & instituted the use of undead as weapons of war. Drago Thul asserted that Kaius III was actually Kaius I, a vampyric monster "seeking to drain the lifeblood of Karrnath itself". This was a serious accusation; the undead have no rights under the code of Galifar & an not inherit titles or lands. Thuls challenge spread like wildfire, only to be crushed when Kaius III met the warlords under the midday sun & cut his palm to show his freely flowing blood. This should have been the end of it, but the tale of the vampire king has proven surprisingly resilient. Some say that the king developed special enchantments to avoid the effects of sunlight; others say that he relies on changeling impersonators who take his place in the daylight. As for Drago Thul, he refused to stand down when Kaius III pushed for peace & the Treaty of Thronehold. He fled to the city of Stormreachin Xedri'ik with a small band of followers and continues to rally support against "the monster that sits o our throne" [/spoiler] The Voice of Karrnath [spoiler="MROR HOLDS: BIRTHPLACE OF ABOMINATION"] It's been seventy years since the Iron Council declared the Mror Holds' independance from Karrnath. King Kaius II was newly seated on the steel throne and lacked the resolve to bring the dwarf lords to heel. Now we see the harvest we have sown, and it is horrifying. Without the firm hand of Karrnath to keeo them on a righteous path, the Mror dwarves have embraced foul powers. Witness Lord Malus Soldorak, seen in Korth this week for trade negotiations. His breastplate was forged from chitin & muscle, and it seemed to pulse with its own heartbeat. A guard present at the said that Soldorak's axe groaned when the blade came close to him as if the weapon hungered for human blood. This is what springs from our mercy & forbearance. Who knows what horrors the dwarves are crafting - or breeding- in their mountain halls? We can notstand by & let this vileness continue. For the good of our nation, , We call on all true Karrns to demand that Regent Moranna unleash our full might on the Mror Hold & cleanse this horror [/SPOILER] The article referenced in the OP is in Ch3: Sharn, city of towers.
