The True Queen

[smish]

"Submit, or your claim to life is forfeit."

With the repulsion of the combined forces of the Coven, Asphodel and the turncoat Mirelings, an announcement is delivered on the backs of almost innumerable bats, ravens and other critters of the night, and on occasion, a mindless, bloodthirsty thinblood -- all carrying with them parchment which reads as such:

As expected, the weak-minded were led astray by false promises of hope by the frail, worthless and ineffectual. Time and again the foolish have come to claim the throne of Asphodel when only one among Esshar deserves to be called Queen of Vampires. Me. Those who waste their blessing of eternity will see it stripped from them. Traitors have been noted. But I am a merciful, and forgiving Queen. Make no mistake: Asphodel will come under my control. The only question is who will remain behind? This is an open offer to all; Residents of Asphodel or no. Clemency in exchange for an oath of fealty. Elevation to one of my own brood in exchange for Annete Alricht. Whose cursed bloodline has tainted my Esshar for too long. If you force me to march upon your lands, any solider I might find upon the field will receive no such leniency. - Illythia pyr Docro.
