Fall of the Black Queen

[Havard]

Doesn't the heir come into the full title when their predecessor abdicates

That is true. The question then becomes, why did he abdicate? Another possible storyline here is that the Black Queen's father was the king of all of the elves in the north. When the alliance with the humans failed, the king adbicated in shame. His eldest son was to take over the reign, but the former king's daugher declared herself Queen of the Westryn, taking them on a different and darker path. Seeing that his daughter set on a course that would weaken the elves further, the former king cursed his daugher, on his death bed. The new king of the Cumasti would be Lord Ithamis, who had just fathered a son, Menander who would one day become lord of the Cumasti and also have some claim on the title, Lord of the Northern Elves.

Neat stuff, Hav. I like the idea of a surface-y split between elven nation, with one branch withering under a curse. But maybe I'm just morbid like that. :twisted:

I like it too. It is further evidence of the cool ideas that did in fact come out of the D20 line. Of course, while the Westryn are withering away, the Cumasti arent doing too good either.
