Bag om The 10th Province of Jaryar
To the hall with six flamesCall the great of the nineFor an heir to the king.They will seek for a sign.Who should rule the powerful land of Jaryar when its childless king dies? Instead of preparing for war, the two contenders agree to that extraordinary thing, an election. "A contest? A duel? A game of chess?""Yes, perhaps. A fair game."Fifty-one high-ranking men and women will hear the arguments, and then choose between Queen Nerranya of Marod and Duke Haras of Vard.So everyone comes to the peaceful city of Vach-roysh, capital of the land that gave up its independence long ago - the Tenth Province of Jaryar.They bring their prejudice and ambition, bribery and blackmail - and the prophecy uttered by a dying woman.And murder. For this game is far from fair.Bowing down to be raisedFor the Dream, and God's law -But the sheep, they all waitFor mild peace or grim war.
