In a hastily arranged coronation ceremony that evening, as she ascended the steps to take the Throne, Swayvanna was shot with a single round to the head, before being beheaded by Mandor, who appeared beside her as she fell. King Mandor then went on to thank ‘those Houses that had provided strength and support to Thelbane at this trying time’, particularly singling out for thanks ‘the Great House Discordia, and its Head of House, Lydia, upon whom we are happy to confer the title Archduchess’. Mandor and Hera then went on to receive renewed Oaths of Allegience from all the heads of the Great Houses, while they sat together on the Throne, each with a foot resting on the headless body of Swayvanna as it lay there. Only after that ceremony was complete, did attendants of the Royal Guard remove the corpse and the head. |
