Dark circumstances claimed the life of Breland’s monarch. During a summoning, a demon broke free and consumed the king and three of his closest advisors.
King Kason had been anxious to avoid any further commitment of Brelish troops to protecting Brelish interests on the border. To avoid any more deaths the king stepped up previously tentative efforts to bring a demon regiment from Shavarath to fight on his behalf. During one particularly intense negotiation session with a marilith, the demon somehow broke his bonds and consumed all within reach in a very bloody display of violence before returning to her home plane.
