He's lying on his deathbed watching his relatives (his would-be beloved family) fighting over which of his possessions they are going to get when he kicks the bucket. So, he has them banned from the Castle and sends out runners that he is hosting a game. There is a chest that needs to be returned to the Castle. The chest resides in the heart of a giant mountain seen rising above the horizon. Each person will join into a group of 6, as decided by a council overseeing the game. The groups will start at various towns and villages equidistant from the mountain and they are charged with returning the chest from the caves within before the time limit of one week expires. There are strong warnings that the caves are very well guarded. If no one wins, the family gets the money (so they are trying to stop the groups). The winning group will "inherit" his Duchy to be split into equal size portions among the survivors of that group of six who will become Barons. If only one person survives the group, he/she inherits the Duchy itself as Duke. This is purely off the top of my head...but something like that may actually work out. Cedric</blockquote>
