Emperor Thrommel Breckonridge resigned from his post as Emperor after the loss of one of his dearest sons. He
hoped one day to see his son, Count Draigen Breckonridge, sitting upon the throne of the Empire of the Imperial
Magistracy, but it was not to be. His sons, Prince York and Viscount Jarlaxle were off to study humanities in the
universities, so it was not to be that either of them could rule the Empire. Furthermore, King Alexander
Breckonridge, Thommel's younger brother, did not care for political matters after he had witnessed Thrommel
almost dethroned on more than one occasion by his own children. Finally, Thrommel's youngest sister, Isabella,
went hand in hand with a commoner Freeman Jean Luc Valois and was not seen again. Thrommel shut himself
up in his castle as the Empire was run by the Triumvirate controlled by Archqueen Adana
Breckonridge-Chamberlain, Count Lhaeros Gefahrlich, and Esquire Lathen Noraddo. He worried not about the
Empire as he knew his sister was capable and would help in the direction of the Empire.
As the old Archking sealed himself off from the rest of the Imperial Citizens, Prince John Breckonridge II and his
wife Troyana Beck came forth to the Archqueen and Triumvir of the Empire of the Imperial Magistracy. They were
accompanied by their child Avengelyne Breckonridge and the child of John's dead sister, Brenden Campbell.
Brenden's parents named him such for his temper as his name means "fiery hill" and as a baby he had a fiery
temper indeed. Brenden's parents, Robert and Eva Breckonridge-Campbell had died after being consumed in a
mysterious fire at their manor. Brenden managed to escape the tragedy and went to live with his aunt and uncle,
John and Troyana. John came forth with his wife, daughter, and adopted son to ask if they might be able to live in
the lands of the Empire of the Imperial Magistracy once again, particularly the Archkingdom of Eden. The
Archqueen was happy to allow them to come into the Empire once more, especially now that she was ill and
needed help about the castle. She was receiving much support from her young companion, Esquire Lathen
Noraddo, but her family being present helped all the more. John Breckonridge I + Bethany Lyon

As days went by, she decided that it was necessary to make sure that transition in the Archkingdom went smoothly,
so she chose her nephew, Prince John Breckonridge II as the new heir to the throne. Since her son, Prince
Christopher Chamberlain had taken to a life of the clergy and already ran his own region, it was obvious that a
new heir was needed. Furthermore, as she advanced in age, her health began to fail her.
So, during the darker moments of Adana's life, her family aided her and comforted her. Avengelyne and Lathen
became acquainted and began to desire each other. Avengelyne became a Lady in Waiting to the Archqueen and
attended to her daily needs. Brenden helped with tasks about the house and in the stables and also became
acquainted with Lathen.
Adana then became violently ill after hearing about revolting activities in the north. Physicians of the
Archkingdom of Eden attended to her. Being elderly, her body could not stand much of the strain. The revolts and
backstabbing disgusted Lathen very much, because it was directed mostly against the Archqueen of the
Archkingdom of Eden. Lathen lamented to Avengelyne night after night over the illness of the Archqueen and the
revolts of the north. Count Lhaeros Gefahrlich of the Triumvirate tried to stave off the problems in the north, but
it was difficult. The Count also cared deeply about his other Triumvirs and did not care for the suffering of the
Archqueen.
Then in the middle of the night, a great fire broke out in the castle of the Archqueen. Avengelyne jumped into the
moat of the castle and reached safety. Lathen ran into the Archqueen's room and carried her body to the lower
reaches of the castle. When he reached safety, the Archqueen had taken in too much of the fumes and was dead. In
the middle of the night as the fire raged on, one of the greater castle walls collapsed. There was no sign of
Avengelyne's parents or her cousin, Brenden.
The next day, Lathen realized the importance of keeping the Archkingdom alive. He knew that the Imperial
Senators would try to take over the region, if they found out about the death of the Archqueen. He pulled forth the
papers which made Avengelyne's parents the legal heirs to the throne of the region. It was a lucky thing that such
documents were stored in the regional senatorial halls. It had a clause that in the event of their death, it would be
passed on to their children, as they would be Breckonridge family members. Lathen explained to Avengelyne that
she would now be the ruler and Queen of Eden. It was a happy moment, but also one of sadness and anger. It was
feared that this was a plot that had come to fruition and finally killed off the Archqueen to the happiness of the
northern Imperial Senators. Therefore, as her first decree, Avengelyne called for the secession of the Archkingdom
of Eden from the Empire of the Imperial Magistracy. Lathen had to agree with her move, as he believed much evil
befell the Archqueen and he would hate to see the same happen to his love.
Lathen explained that the Archqueen Adana Beckonridge-Chamberlain did have an ally of power in the personage
of her brother, Archking Thrommel Breckonridge, Avengelyne's great uncle. Avengelyne made contact with the
cloistered Archking and told of his sister's passing. It hurt him so to hear of her passing and also the loss of the
Archkingdom of Eden from the Empire. He did state he would help Eden in any way he could as he continued to
struggle ruling a large region in the northern territories of the Empire of the Imperial Magistracy in the face of
losing his sister.
Queen Avengelyne Breckonridge demanded from the Empire of the Imprial Magistracy to return the Imperial Gold
Crowns which were earned by Archqueen Adana Breckonridge-Chamberlain and rightfully the property of the
Kingdom of Eden. Emperor Belgarion-Rheydt-Hoster denied these claims and the Queen went into a fit of rage.
Archking Thrommel Breckonridge knew the law stated that she should not receive the money of her great aunt,
but he also felt it necessary to let the Kingdom of Eden have the funds. Therefore, he took it upon himself to send
such funds to the Kingdom of Eden from his personal coffers. He hoped to keep peaceful relations between the
Kingdom of Eden and the Empire of the Imperial Magistracy.
