Zolor Zahir ending reign as Emperor

FASTHELD - The following official proclamation has been distributed throughout the realm by courier: "Citizens of Fastheld, by now you have likely heard that Talus Kahar XV, the son of our late Emperor, has had his sight miraculously restored with the ending of the Aegis curse. "While he suffered from such a debilitating condition, it seemed impractical at best to expect the boy to grow into the seat of power inherited from his father. "Now, however, I see no reason that Talus Kahar XV could not properly serve the realm as Emperor, in due time. "Therefore, it is only right that I announce that I am stepping down immediately as Emperor of Fastheld. The Crown will be passed to the son of Talus Kahar XIV. I will serve as the Crown's Regent until such time as the boy can rule. "I have been humbled by the trust and faith put in me by the people of Fastheld, despite our rocky start together, and I am proud that we can move forward in this new day with at least a small touch of tradition being restored. "Long live Emperor Talus Kahar XV. Long live Fastheld."
