the Crown of Chessenta
The struggle to unite the city-states of Chessenta under one throne is as old as written human history in the Realms, but it seems closer to happening than ever before. Faced with ever-more-powerful brigand and slaver incur¬sions, the growing influence of Thay, and con¬tinual immigration from the fertile Vilhon Reach (an annual rush of folk with their own ideas about how Chessenta should be run, and scant regard for established customs and authorities), the rulers of the city-states have met several times to discuss the establishment of a standing army, a "borderguard" and over¬all taxation system, and other schemes for fostering the security of Chessenta against an evil invasion or foreign tyranny. Though the Chessentans were for the first time willing to see themselves as allies, and to consider some shared elements of government, they were all adamant that any Overking could not be one of the existing city-rulers, who might put the inter¬ests of his own city over the weal of the other cities of Chessenta. Fierce argument ensued over how an Overking would be selected and who might be candidates.
Harper watchfulness detected attempts by Thay to promote their own agent as a fitting occupant of the New Throne. There were also moves by the Cult of the Dragon to establish a
Cult kingdom, supported by the Great Bone Wyrm of Dragonback Mountain (the nor¬thernmost peak of the Riders to the Sky range). That great dracolich is gathering young dragons to its lair there, in an open bid for power. Into the midst of all this, of course, the Harpers are determined to put their own candi¬date on the throne. Their first task is to find a half-dozen or so willing and suitable would-be Overkings. Their second is to keep at least one of them alive long enough to seize the New Throne. The third is to keep the new Overking free from corruption.
