I'm one week late I guess... Well, proper update coming tomorrow. As for now, my first take on lore.
...If any "king" ever comes up in a conversation in this part of the world, be sure they are talking about the King. The previous ruler of this land (and many others), queen Ber's father, has been universally known as The Emperor. Elves are guided by druids and clan counsils, goblins are ruled by warchiefs, the rebel barons had a lord-protector elected for such an occasion, and humans... No human lord have yet archieved prominence to be mentioned here.
the King, also knows as the Dead King, has ruled the North with iron fist for several years. Their origin is unknown, and sholars still debate on the true nature of this tyrant. Using his undead puppets and captured slaves (mostly dwarves), he amassed huge wealth, rose an army of ancients and marched South, rasing town after town.
The King is known to be surrounded by a court of sorts, consisting of cultists, lesser necromancers, vampires and other creatures of the night. Old-world nobles are said to be serving him too, after being raised from their graves and tombs. Moreover, all kinds of rogues from the Empire are flocking to the King's capital.
On the contrary, Empress of the Southlands, Ruler of Tradebrim, Most Illustrious Queen Ber is a benevolent, enlightened monarch, focused on protecting life and liberty of all her subjects. She is 18 years old, inheriting the throne from her father at the age of 6. While the first five years of her rule were marked by civil war and unrest, order has finally been restored. It's only a matter of time that the lost lands are reclaimed!
