Deep within a dark crypt, an old priest writes.
Upon the news of Lord Dawnrunner's army falling, Lord Macaberius, by right was to climb to the rank of Dark Lord.
The Banshee Queen has lost many of her sacred Dark Lords in her time, so with no further a due all central decisions from the House were to be reorganised and carried out by the Dark Lord and his court in secret, from a hidden, unknown location.
Macaberius inherited the rank, his previous experience and success with the House fully meriting him the honour.
He dips his quill into a stained jar of ink.
The council that Arcturas will be upheld by Macaberius, but not him personally, it is too dangerous to keep the Dark Lords of the House exposed... He will appoint another, trusted associate to lead the House.
Doctor Isen Plaguous, an apothecary who worked his way up through the ranks of the Royal Apothecary Society then joined the House had long been a close associate of the Lord Macaberius. Here he would place his trust in and rule the House through proxy.
Lord Dawnrunner was a courageous leader and passionate about war, but that led to his downfall, like many.
From now on, Lord Macaberius would rule, by proxy, until the next wind of change strikes the House.
The old priest wraps the parchment up into a scroll, and places it within an archive of documents.
((Hello!
Macaberius is not able to run the guild, as you may notice from long offline periods, thus, he has passed it down to I. The story behind it is something we both came up with, and seems to be the logical way for things to proceed! Any questions, then do not hesitate to ask! ))
