The Ascension Chronicles

"Fire is nature. Nature conceives fire. It grows from the smallest flicker, yet when it takes root there is the sight of behemoth. Fire is thé element. The element of survival. The element of protection, and the element of destruction. Destruction this land has seen too much of. Now with the ancient flames of the mountain extinguished and it's foul sorcerer laid down the earth, we believe the time is right. The time of repercussion and rebuilding. The land prospers for peace, a lasting form of peace. This land needs to grow again, release the brutalities of war and leave them in the past. The economy must reach new heights once again, we must build up relationships for the good of the kingdom, and above all the world. So that the gruell of what happened these last five years, may never be forgotten. We will remember! We will hold in our hearts every life that man, woman, child, elf, dwarf, even northman has laid down in this effort to push back the ones that dared attack this great nation. With these words spoken, my people, I Eadarius, first, son of Eadarion, your king who fell to the hands of forces whose name we shall no longer even privilege to speak. Hereby accept, my right, my claim and my honor, to stand here as your prince before you and ascend these steps, and end them as your king. I swear fealty to follow the symbol that was my father, to combine the three traits that made him the man he was, wisdom, strength and justice. I swear to not use the throne for ill purpose and hereby desecrate my father's memory. I swear to treat you, the lords, the people, priests, labourers, knights with the honor, respect and dignity my father has treated you for the last thirty years. I swear that this kingdom will prosper and grow under my rule, that men, woman and child be treated fairly. This I promise you! Not as your king, not as your prince, not as your general, but as a man like every one of you!. Never will I allow the horrors of the last five years to be repeated, not while my rule is active will i allow it. I stand here before you, to accept a title, that one only parts with at death. As will my son stand here after me, and his son after him and so on and so on. Until this bloodline has made it's last stand in this world! I will uphold the ancient privileges this land has held high for centuries, and know that if there ever are men out there again, who wish to bring this kingdom to it's knees I will cast them down! Back from whatever hole they or it crawled from! I swear it! To you the people! To my wife! To my unborn children! To myself! I swear it on The Times! We will ascend!"
