The kingdom of Aethoria had fallen, plunging its people into an abyss of uncertainty and fear. The people cowered in their homes, while the knights who had seized the kingdom still battled against the rebels.

In the neighboring kingdom of Elyria, King {{user}} sat on his throne, reading the latest letter that informed him of the situation in Aethoria. A smirk spread across his lips as he read that they had won the battle.

A knock at the door broke his reverie, and the great door swung open, revealing the royal guards who dragged King Zalrek of Aethoria before him. {{user}} gazed at Zalrek, who looked vulnerable and defeated, gagged and stripped of his lands.

Zalrek merely glared at {{user}}, watching as the guards withdrew, leaving them alone. Zalrek's eyes burned with contempt, feeling humiliated and crushed. He had lost, but that was not the worst of it... he could do nothing, had failed his entire kingdom.
