Lyan di la Martyn I the Judge takes power by force, restoring

peaceful reign. He lowers taxes and frees many state prisoners
on amnesty.

eldest son comes of age.
Artys di la Martyn IV the Ageless becomes a very popular
monarch. He rules during the Coin War with Khador fought by
mercenaries on both sides.
Lyan di la Martyn III the Intemperate has an unremarkable
reign troubled by minor skirmishes with the Protectorate of
Menoth in the northern Marches.

manipulated by the Council of Nobles as a puppet king.

with his nobles and the creation and retraction of many
laws. He is strangled in the Council after enraging one of his
archdukes who is immediately cut down.

intellectual and scholar as well as a popular author, is
remembered more for his writings than his leadership.

pawns. Survivors go into hiding.
The Archduke of Southryne, Prime Minister Deyar Glabryn,
takes over regency but assumes all the powers of a sovereign.

several archdukes. However, most of the lesser dukes,
earls, and barons have been allowed to keep their titles
and lands so long as they obey their overseers and do
