History

(copied from "humans") Rewrite for him. There is an old Imperial line that has drastically waned in power with the rise of the Houses. Lord Edmund of House Thane oversees the growing independence of the houses - That line even gets gifted a title "Archon" by the emperor as a gesture of consent) The Archon sees that his power is waning as natural disasters strike and his taxes-to-maintain-federal-power stresses those houses. imperial line is now being backed by many of the houses - even has a fancy new throne built. As the imperial power builds (and rumors of the Witch assassins involvement), Lear looks for a symbol of his power. He plans to construct his own throne (to rival the imperial throne) - constructed from the exhumed bones of his family, which has held their position for two or three centuries. While doing this, he meets a 'gravedigger' with the Mark of Death who tells him about the way the wyches have achieved immortality. In actuality this gravedigger is one of The Covenant, pushing the king toward his deal with death. Arkhan then separates himself from death via lich ritual. and this 'threatens' or upsets Shin-rath. Shin-rath appears and asks him what the fuck he thinks he's doing. and Arkhan begins to negotiate, thinking himself as an equal. Arkhan has secured his eternal life, but shin-rath tells him that he will horrify people and they'll flock entirely to Emperor. Shin-rath offers Arkkhan the service of all the dead of the kingdom, in exchange for shogun to deliver shinrath the living of the kingdom. king pulls back on food, creating starvation and strife. knows that the emperor will march his armies and in doing so result in a lot of death for shinrath.
