Asirith

After many years of stability and growth for the Kingdoms of Asirith the kings death brings disaster. Queen Isolde attempts to dispute the current succession laws and has called to the noble court for support for the kings younger son Prince Cedric. With the Nobles houses split between Prince Hadrian and Prince Cedric the stability of the kingdom wains. Tension reaches an all time high when price Hadrian disappears with no trace and the queen calling for an immediate council to openly discuss the change of the succession laws. With the talk of a succession war, the nobles have been keeping their troops off roads to bolster the troops within their cities leaving the land dangerous. It is not uncommon for a merchants to disappear off the roads with no trace. The merchant guild and adventurer guild has gone into a major recruitment effort to restore order until the new king is crowned on the day of The Feast of Fortune. This has lead to much corruption within the guilds putting more power into adventures hands. Some who defend stretches of land have started unlawful toils on royal roads for their protection.     Many Dark forces look to take advantage of Asirith's weakened state to seize power and bring destruction to the people, but there is a light of hope.
