The Death of King Robern

Life, Death

Defiant to the end, King Robern makes promises of wealth and power to foreign mercenaries from Dunefalle to bolster his ranks. They do not, however, arrive in time to save him from his own family, who decide amongst themselves that he cannot be allowed to continue his futile reign. They demand that he abdicate the throne immediately so his heir can carry on the Banteavan crown in his stead, signing a peace that would keep Sandoreale in control of the kingdom. It is not known whether King Robern became so distraught that he threw himself from the battlements of Holthen Keep... or if his own family pushed him to his death. House Sandoreale insists on the former telling of events.
