The morning after the death of Richard Anglohr, Lord Paramount Belobog Ziemniak the Storm Cloaks of Storm Haven, as well as his son Velimir Ziemniak and his group, to the throne room, to find Calis Cuiviénen, and the heir of Richard Anglohr, Geoffrey Anglohr sitting on the Storm Throne. At their sides are Chernobog Szron-Ziemniak, Triglav Szron-Ziemniak, Svetovid Szron-Ziemniak, and Maester of Storm Haven.
When Lord Paramount Belobog informs the room that he has been given a writ dictating himself to be regent over Geoffrey until he is of 18 years of age, Duke Chernobog asks to see the writ, as he has been anointed hand of the boy-king Geoffrey. Lord Paramount Belobog will refuse to walk up to the throne to give it to him, but a servant will bring the writ to Hand of the King Chernobog. Chernobog will then read the writ, and proclaim the words that will change the world.
"Hmm... Very well then. In the words of my forefather, Old Wodz Veles,
'Weaning horses run the fields. Wee crows do perch on shields.
Bleeding wolves are at bay. Bleak must the sky stay.
The dragon rots now, a thought gone. Thorns lett the Ox and Stag, their cry forlorn.
Who roams the realm of Stribog? Hinter the sons of Svarog?
A black crow, banished. Asturica plunged into chaos from the shunned'.

[While tearing the writ up] Hearken to me brother! My time has come, long have I waited for this moment, this [gesturing to the Storm Throne] will be my throne if you will not relent my birthright!
I am the Fylkir of the Old Faith, The Uniter of the Faiths and Realms!
This unification of paramounts under the seat of the storm shall be destroyed, and in its place, an empire, solidly under the gods of all ancestors shall takes its place!
Join me or the gods of both the Stormborn and the Northern Dragon, the Unchained Wolf, the Lord of Ravens, the Thunderer and Stoker of Flames, shall guide me to your destruction!
Believed to have the allegiance of the Storm Haven Guard, Belobog will rebuke his brother and order the guards to arrest the traitor and rebel. Only, the guard are under the pay of Fylkir Chernobog, and they owe their allegiance to him... Lord Paramount Belobog's Retinue and his group are ambushed! The Storm Cloaks quickly form a ring around the group, blocking any retreat.
As the fighting starts, Fylkir Chernobog removes Calis and Geoffrey from the throne, and has 4 of his guards escort them out of the room.
