Arcachon Annals/Arcachon Annals Book III

Acturus led for a while with a peace settling over the realm. However, it was not long before the power went to his head and he held almost all governmental positions making himself unquestionable. This upset many of the nobles because he was quick to exile anyone who spoke against him. One such noble was Cerber DeRouen, Lord of Itomazh. Malus had left after the revolution but had not went far. When he saw the trouble his brother was getting himself into, he took advantage of the situation starting a rebellion. It is believed that Malus was responsible for Acturus; assassination during a gathering of the nobles. Malus was elected ruler once more. He admitted Lord Cerber back into Arcachon nobility and restored those titles stripped of him. All this happened about the same time as the downfall of the Highland Empire. Malus sent the armies into the mainland to try and take hold of Tuhpos. However, he stayed behind. The army was unsuccessful and upon news of this he fled the dark isle forever leaving his niece in power. She led for an even shorter time before Pontifex Octavio came to power.

Pontifex Dormondt Lankmere came to power shortly thereafter. Lechis died, leaving Dormondt as not only spiritual head of the nation but also the religion.

Arrival of the Shadow Clans.

Disappearance of Pontifex Dormondt.

Treachery of General John Dodger.

Treachery of Brom the StoryTeller.

I can't remember all the details about Brom and I may be getting a few events confused but this is what I remember. While our armies were in the south fighting alongside Lasanar against Cathay (or whatever realm they bordered at the time), a bug in the game caused all those away from the realm to not be considered members of it anymore. This stripped Dormondt (I believe he was in power then) of the position of Pontifex. Brom was elected the following turn with like one vote. He didn't want to give up his position of power. I believe we actually sent in our own infiltrators to take him out of the position. Anyway, Brom was always causing trouble, trying to start fights with other nobles and just generally causing trouble. Eventually somehow Nicholas became Pontifex. He and Brom were friends and so when Brom came to him claiming that there was an active resistance in the underground and claiming names of Nobles, Vite being the one I remember for sure, Nicholas believed him. When this happened a huge argument broke out and it was soon proved that whoever was in the underground it couldn't be those named. Eventually, Brom admitted to being behind the entire thing all along.

The events drove Pontifex Nicholas mad and he soon took his own life.
