Political event
The Year 1086 began with tragedy; King Damon Eladel, who had survived an assassination attempt only a year before, succumbed to a sudden illness caught during a particularly harsh winter. His successor was Aemelia Eladel (his only child), the current Queen of Raen'dor and the youngest ruler of the united realms thus far. Rumors that the King had been poisoned in another assassination attempt swirled around Eiderloch that season, but all medical examinations showed no trace of poison (or anything other than illness) to be the cause of death. Similar whispers have wondered whether or not Aemelia Eladel-- the only current living member of her house-- is in danger as well, but there has been no attempts made on her life since her ascension to the throne.
