Reign of Aziraphael Malikov

Political event

After over a century of civil war and coups, Aziraphael won the throne through the rite of Sacred Combat. Rather than a duel between a single nominee from each of the three rose kingdom, an idea was proposed that each of the nine Clans send a champion. The new Rose Monarch would be decided as the victor of the Battle Royale. Aziraphael triumphed, losing one of his eyes and his weapon, but claiming victory after an hour of bloody struggle.   He would spend over a decade re-negotiating the terms of peace with the other kingdoms,as well as the other factions of Respite, and over a century rebuilding the settlements, public works, and agreements ravaged by the civil war. He would die at age 174 from exhaustion, but Respite saw no war during his reign.
