Chapter 4 · The end of House Suirkrond

The eras

An era is about 1.75 years of the world. The quiet ones are in grey.

Era 73 · Spring, year 127

Skolzel died of old age in Llaness, already an old woman. She was generous, humble and loyal. She left a widower, Mosskos. Mosskos died of old age in Llaness, already an old man, after 1 year at the head of the Methllerk. He was ambitious, cautious and loyal. The seat stood empty. With its last member House Suirkrond, whose motto was “No one eats alone”, went out: no one was left to bear its name. By custom, the ruler was chosen by their own people. Four stood for the seat: Tuindtuend, Dosduend, Lloththue and Guilskaith. No one gained a clear advantage over the others, and the seat stood empty while the Methllerk made up their minds. Llaness was now led by Dosduend. Born: Sauchia. Mueness had 3,567 people, Llaness 3,384, Stianess 2,124 and Zailira 600. The seat was still empty. Hope was returning.

After 4 seasons of waiting, Tuindtuend was chosen with 13 supporters to Dosduend's 12. What weighed most was a gift for command and their ties with those who chose.
