"We bring you a special report from Aerion. The King is dead, I repeat, the King is dead. The Royal Family were all found murdered in their beds. The King, Queen, his four sons, and sister were all found dead. Each was stabbed repeatedly with daggers. All two hundred of the Royal Guard were not present on the estate, their present location unknown. The Chancellor has ordered an immediate lockdown on the estate, and has not yet authorized an investigation from any one other than the Agents of the Chancery. The Chancellor has ordered four hundred of his own soldiers to barricade the estate. No one is being allowed in or out. It is said the Dukes will convene an emergency meeting shortly. Already rumors are circulating that Aerion may break out into civil war.."



Aerion has been relatively quiet, and the peace that has pervaded Aerion has been even named "Pax Aerion" by many of the people. For the most part, the Royal Family has led private peaceful lives, with each succeeding King taking the throne as the old one died though never truly exercising government powers. Most of the attention of the people were on the succeeding Chancellors of the Kingdom who actually ran things, and the many intrigues surrounding their appointment. Usually, the Dukes of Aerion ruling over the 20 Duchies individually would come together to reach a conscenus on whom should be appointed Chancellor. It was often one of their own. This recent event may disrupt all this balance.

OOC:Great security you have there.

The Holy Epress of Siora is saddened by such unbearably horrifying news. To show our solidarity, all citizens of Siora will have a national day of mourning for every person murdered, which altogether makes up a week of mourning. We grieve for your loss.

To Siora's Empress

Your Imperial Majesty,

The people of my Duchy, and I am sure all of Aerion thank you for your concern, and recognition of this tragic event. I hope that the affairs of our government may return to stability. I believe we will find a suitable heir, as there were many more in the Royal Family than were actually known publically. Stability will be returned to Aerion, I vow it.

Sincerely,

Duke Weirl Dern

OOC: civil war? why?

Breaking News from Aerion:

Today a meeting of the Royal Council, including all of the Dukes, and the highest members of the Royal Government took place in the Aerion capital of Astevane in the Curia which had long ago served as the old Senate building. This meeting was a closed meeting, but what events have transpired inside were somewhat revealed. The Dukes cannot agree on anything, and all pointed fingers at each other. The meeting flew into chaos after Duke Weirl Dern declared that the Chancellor should be put on trial for the assassination of the Royal Family, stating that it is obvious that the Chancellor had them murdered. The meeting ended with the Chancellor slamming the gavel down, and leaving the chamber. At least one minor government official at the meeting had the following comment to make, "I have never seen such immaturity from the leaders of Aerion. They debased themselves to calling each other names, and making idle threats. I fear for the future, and safety of Aerion's people." Each of the twenty Dukes returned to their luxury mansions inside the capital, though these mansions are obviously not as fine as the Ducal Palaces they reside in while in their own lands.

These dukes have mansions...how does the Aerion worker live?

The division between the High Society of Aerion, and the Workers of Aerion is very large. Most workers of Aerion live in high rise apartments, or small family homes. The Dukes, however, live in massive Ducal Palaces in their own Ducal Capitals which may take up as many as ten city blocks. Often these are decorated with marble, gold, and the finest. Those who they favor, city Mayors, Ducal councillors on their Ducal Councils, and the many other nobility all live in mansions. The noble elite are only about 10% of Aerion's population, though control all of the wealth, and power. They spend their days at banquets, operas, social gatherings, and relaxing away in their little paradises.

"People of Aerion -- I call upon you to do your patriotic duty to your country and to the world. I call upon you to break the chains of oppression and tyranny that have held you back for so many years. I call upon you to unite and destroy the capitalist oppressors who have held you down for so many years. Unite and the International Army of Marx will be behind you! Ask for the help of Edolia and you shall have it! You shall be able to truly overthrow the brutal system of oppression that has kept you enchained for so many years! Workers of Aerion, unite!"

After finding this out through press releases handed to him by his Imperial Press Secretary, Emperor Daiikun I politely suggests an investigation by outside nations in order to possibly discover where this plot stemmed from and can then report back to the governing body of Aerion as to who devised this malicious attack on the Royal Family.

If and when the plotter is found, His Imperial Lord also recommends that the government of Aerion be ruled by the security councel of the UN until a blood heir can be found to replace his late Majesty. From the report that was given to his Imperial Lordship, it is possible that maybe one of the children, the sister, even the King or Queen themselves may have had a bastard child. If so, then by blood, he/she would be the rightful heir to the throne.

Sincerely,
His Imperial Majesty, Daiikun I
Lord of the Peaceful Nation, Xylvaria

Which just proves what I've been saying all along: All kings are good for is assasination.

To: The Emperor of Xylvaria
From: The Chancery

Your Imperial Majesty,

May I "politely" suggest you stay out of the business of Aerion. We can handle our own business quiet well without the interference of external nations. There is no need for investigation by outside nation, as the Chancery is fully equipped to investigate these relations. Any external investigations would interfere with our own investigations.

Duke Buern Tiern
Chancellor of Aerion

The rumors throughout Aerion indicate that Duke Buern Tiern, the Chancellor of Aerion, has the support of the Lord High Marshal of the Royal Army. The Lord High Marshal, and his Generals have full control of the armed forces of Aerion. Due to the structure of the army, they have full loyalty. The other Dukes are growing frightened by the potential for the Chancellor to take more power than he already has, using the military to take the Throne himself. They only have small security forces to protect their assets.

There is an unsteady neutrality between the Dukes, the Chancellor, and the Royal Government. The powers that be have for now are biding their time, to figure out whom, if anyone will dare to declare for themselves the Throne as the symbol of supreme power over Aerion. For now it seems the Chancellor allows the Royal Government to continue the day to day governing of the nation. For now, the people go about their daily lives, under the governing of their local nobles, and members of the Royal Government. It seems the people are content to live their daily lives, and let the higher powers figure out who is the supreme power in Aerion.
