Sucession to the Throne!!! (Open Thread)

DHara Secundus

The DHaran People rejoiced today as their bond was renewed with the recitation of the ancient Devotion. For millenia the Gifted Rahls led DHara through this bond. In the Peoples Palace for two hours starting at noon they chanted, while the new Master Rahl stood on the steps to the Throne, holding the head of Nathan Rahl, former Master of DHara.
Alaric Rahl, gifted heir of Nathan Rahl, is 22 years old, with blonde hair and blue eyes (as do all true blooded DHarans).
Having mastered his gift at 19, he challenged his father to a duel after traveling the world to perfect his talent. Fighting, and killing, his father Nathan in an amazing display of magical might, he ascended to the throne. General Trimak of the Thrid File swore fealty, as did General Riggs, General Falcon, and General Reibisch. As word of the succession spreads, all the Generals will give the devotion.
Alaric Rahl declared any and all treaties made by Nathan Rahl to hearby be null and void. All former allies and trading partners should apply once more, and you will be judged worthy, or not. Any new nations who would also like to apply please do so now, and give a list of what reasons Alaric has for accepting you.
Attention Evil Dictator’s Lounge and Gentleman’s Club, Alaric wishes to continue the family tradition of participation in your renowned club.
This is the death of an era, as Alaric Rahl, carring the name of the first Rahl, is said to wield more power than any before him. Coming to power at a time when the army is honed to perfection, under the wise rule of Nathan, and the opening of the Temple of the Winds draws nigh. Allies be encouraged, enemies beware...

OOC:
Yeah, this is MT, with a twist. See, the Rahls are the ancestral rulers of DHara (obviously), ruling with magic. The people are 'bonded' through this magic to the gifted (has magic) heir to the throne. Only those with DHaran blood are affected by this bond, and only if they choose to swear fealty. This bond allows for certain protections, such as the protection from Dream Walkers (or those with telekinesis and the like). The Rahls commonly eliminate any others with the gift so as to havea monopoly on it. So the acention of a new Rahl is a big event. Any reading this should also note, that anyone wishing to be allied at any time with the DHarans should do so now, as they are often very guarded, and this is a rare opportunity. Also note that allying yourself with DHara means you are allied with it's five subjugate nations as well. This will likely be the only time that alliances with smaller nations will be considered.
