    Suzerainty of Capitol
    Political event

    It has long been said that he who ruled Capitol ruled the Shadowlands . But long had the old city fallen to ruin, the fief of petty nobles long out of power, gasping for relevancy. Ancient palaces were inhabited by ruffians, would be warlords, and small minded fools. The Lord of Shadow is none of these things.   No one knows when he arrived in the city. He started by taking control of the river docks, pitting one rival against the other until he could step in and enforce order. Slowly he pushed the borders of his small realm further, claiming the entire time to be the rightful heir to the throne of Appabav. Many stood in his way. All bent the knee, or fell. Finally on midsummer, he forced his final rival to kneel, and was named Lord of Capital. Few took notice.
