Following the disappearance of King Darian a multitude of events rocked Misthalin. Crops died inexplicably, healthy one day and withered the next. Soon after that came the disease.

It started in the slums of the cities, people beset with terrible boils that spread all across their bodies. Weak with hunger and fever, these poor and diseased did not last long. When no immediate cure was found, the effected areas were quarantined and healers across the Kingdom were put to work following any and every possible trail leading to a solution.

The nobility was spared for a time, but even they could not escape disease forever. People began to turn to any answer they could find and among the rumors, one outcry rose above all others...

Witches.


Rhoslyn stepped up to the edge of the platform constructed just outside the castle walls. Behind her, a noose hung low, swaying in the breeze to taunt the onlookers gathering around as the Lady Chancellor took her place. She looked down on them, all wide eyed with fear and curiosity. Many of them wore masks over their faces. Others wore hoods to hide the boils slowly spreading across their flesh. A few brave souls wore no protective coverings - a much whispered about statement that they were strong enough to withstand all the hardships.

"My dear good people,"
Rhoslyn began.
"It is with a heavy heart that I make this proclamation. We have waited long for a sign or word to explain our King's disappearance, but there has been none. In his absence, the Kingdom has fallen prey to the wiles of enemies unseen and we have suffered much . Left with no instruction or aid, I come to the conclusion that fate has seen fit to bestow upon me alone the power stop this suffering and save this Kingdom. It is because of this that I now stand before you and state my claim to the throne of Misthalin.

However,"
she paused. The people knew well the practices of the Lansings and many faces were not smiling in approval.
"I am aware of your reservations. I have heard the rumors. Witches started this plague on our people and our crops. Witches have killed our own. Witches are the enemy. I am here to tell you this now, make no mistake - You are right ."

The gasps, murmurs and outright cries of fear and shock echoed through Varrock Square.


"Yes, my people. Witches are to blame. And I now stand before you, a known witch, and announce this. Why? Because I know you are afraid of me. Because I know that my family's practices make you question just who is behind this misfortune we now face. My people, I know what you must think now - your Queen a witch and witches to blame for your suffering. Therefore, here in the presence of all who will bear witness, I officially and without dubiety renounce my family name and traditions. I swear before you, all of you who are so dear to me, that I will never practice nor consider magic again. And I will see that swift and righteous justice is brought to all of Misthalin's enemies, within and without her borders."

She followed this up with a ceremonial removal of the Lansing symbol, a large snakeskin that wrapped around her shoulders, from her dress. A nearby guard was called up with torch in hand, and she burned the skin in its flames.


"I am Rhoslyn. I wear no other name. I am Rhoslyn and I am your Queen."

Some, as was expected, did not believe her. Their new Queen was a witch and always would be. They could not be convinced otherwise. But many had seen Rhoslyn in the streets handing out food to the starving. They had watched her dress an orphan child covered in boils in her own son's hand-me-down garments. She was a good Queen, they said. She was to be believed. Though rumors still tickled ears, speaking distrust toward this announcement, they were drowned out by the overpowering roar of approval as Rhoslyn turned from the burning snakeskin and descended the steps from the gallows.

Hello, all! I have been asked to include a notice with this posting, so here it is.

This is strictly for plot purposes. In no way does this mean that Misthalin is renouncing its NPC-ruler intent. While Rhoslyn has proclaimed herself Queen and will be Queen In Character for as long as this plot runs, Jamso was given Misthalin and it is his decision to make the Kingdom a Hub under NPC rulers following the Witch-Queen Citlali plot.

I hope you all take interest in this plot and come have some fun with us. It's going to be really neat and we'd love to have you join in.

My greetings to the esteemed House Lansing.

You are cordially invited to the Holy Kingdom of Asgarnia's Spring Soirée, a tradition held by the Asgarnian people to celebrate spring, along with the blessings of fertility and growth.

The main day of festivity is the 18th of Raktuber, and we recommend sporting brighter, cheerier colours for spring. Please inform us if you have any dietary restrictions, be it magical or biological, and we will attempt to accomodate.

You are permitted a guard force numbering no more than six, if you wish.

I hope to see you there,

Saradomin's Blessings upon you,
Lord Edolas
