From the diary of Elias Artocopus, commander of the Chimera Legion in exile
- The kingdom heard of King Bertrand's death, but never received confirmation.
- Instead, the King suddenly appeared in Luminia, the capital city of Chevalia. However, his public appearance occurred at night. He was far from the crowd (speaking from a balcony of the palace), and he was masked.
- Sir Guy, our adversary from last year, was made regent. The King hasn't been seen since.
- There are rumors that the king did die, and that the the person who appeared is either an imposter or undead. Most people discount the undead rumor.
- Prince Omri, the heir to the throne, has disappeared.
- Duke Etienne, the king's brother, was assassinated by shadowy figures. His family likewise disappeared.
- Since then, one of Pitor's fellow priests discovered that the king is actually a lich. He shared that information but was arrested by Sir Guy. He has disappeared.
- The news reached Selina, daughter of the king's cousin. She is the closest living relative to Bertrand. Her council investigated the rumor and found it reliable.
- Selina then challenged Sir Guy's regency and claimed the throne herself. Guy accused her of treason. Both sides are arming for war.
- Pitor sent word to the Empire. He is not sure if the Emperor received it. He was shocked when I told him of the Emperor's murder.
It makes sense for us to ally with Selina and unite in effort to destroy the lich king.
