Terronian

The Grand Duchy of Terronian (Dimitri Tabolov), hurridly closed the doors of his office, on the way back to his desk, he stopped by the Eastern Wall of the office were a dieing fire was burning in a grand fireplace. Dimitri strokd the fire, attempting to get it raoring again, but to no avail, he didnt want to burden one of his guards to get him some more firewood and he was much to tired to get some himself, so he decided to leave it be, and walked back over to his Oak desk and slumped in the chair. It was late at night, buisness and affairs was done for the day and Dimitri could go to bed whenever he pleased, yet he had the perplexing feeling of have forgotten something as if something was unfinished, he coudnt place his finger on it, he tiredly yawned and began to occupy himself by flicking the miniature Terronian Flag on his desk. Still bored and trying hard to sort out the feeling he had, the aging Duchy leaned back into his chair for a stretch, he stretched a little much as the chair crashed backwards with a thud! Quickly the guards entered the room R-48s at there hands glinting in the moonlight.
Dimitri quickly scrapped himself off the ground, dusted himself and faced the 2 guards who had already snapped to attention before him.
"As you were", spoke Dimitri, "Oh um, silly questions boys, do any of you happen to know of anything, not right, a broken air duct, an unsigned paper, SOMETHING?.
"Well, one of the janitors is sick sir, but thats about it, um, no disrespect or anything but you look bushed sir, you should ger to bed, smiled one of the guards.
"Yes, yes I think Is shall", said the Duchy, he then saluted the 2 men, and dismissed them back to there post. Dimitri, closed his office door, and walked over to the East Wing of the House, walked into his room, kissed his wife on the forehed, and fell alseep. He never even bothered to remove his clothes.
However the Duchys intuition was correct, something was amiss, but it had nothing to do with his papers, office, or even the country, it had to do with him, it is written down in the laws of Terronian, that before a Duchy died, he would pass on the responsibility to his oldest son, but alas all of his children and been born daughters, but Dimitri wasnt worried, he was only 47, he had 11 more years to hopefully birth a son. A shame, for the next morning the Duchy lay dead.
His wive Svetlana Tabolov, aroused herself from bed when the light from the sun beamed through the room's window right into her eyes. She jumped out of bed and hurridly walked over to a nearby balcony and gazed out upon Tabolov City(Prague) taking in a huge breath of air, another beutiful day in Terronian, yet she had a feeling in her gut, something was amiss, she rushed back into the room and glared over at Dimitri, his posture was unsual, she grew curious and began to attempt to wake her husband, he was stiff, very stiff, she grew worried as he didnt wake up, she checked for a pulse...nothing. OH MY GOD! she yelled in a scriech that could be heard throughout the city.
News of the Duchys death quickly spread throughout the country, the country was saddened, buisness virtually shut-down, schools closed and all flags in the country were at half-mast, many people were hanging photos pf the duchy or black clothes from there windows in respect of him.
Not all were side in Terronian however, Fyodor Tabololov, Dimitri's younger brother was quite pleased, the death of his brother met he would become Duchy, Fyodor was known for his total ignorance of polotics and his barbaric ways of dealing with problems, which is one of the reasons, Dimitri refused to accept Fyodor as a member of his cabinet. Fyodor, new the power of Terrronian, he always felt the world looked down upon terronian, during conflicts with Belarus, his peaceful borther allowed the Belarus to take Terronians Lumber Economy, but Fyodor planned to change this, his first action as Duchy was to declare war on Belarus. Revolts all ready began around Terronian, Foyodor used his power to psuh a bill through legislate to allow the use fo force against the protestors and now civilains are being killed for speaking out against Fyodor, the beloved Duchy/Legislate goverment has basically become a Dictatorship. Fyodor, even went as far to order Dimitri Tabolovs body to be burned, despite the request of his wife to be buried on the Tabolov family National Cemetary.
Dimitri had another brother, the littlest of the three brothers, Alexi, he agreed with his borther on all issues, and also was appalled, appalled enough to begin an uprising, he was unsesseful in convining the Terronian Legislate and Military High Command to also revolt, however, one small gint was that Rex Glaskow (Chief Administator of Cadets), had joined Alexi and pledged that the cadets would fight on behalf of Alexi. However, an attack on Fyodor's villa cuased him, and Rex Glaskow to go into hiding, they believe to be in the Poland region and rumnors say they are drawing men to there cause, Terronian is in chaos, and innocent bllod is about to be split, either in Terronian, Belarus, or both.
