The Abdication of The Great King James

King James abdicates the throne of the Crusader Kingdom of Acre to King Louis

The day had been coming for a long time. Since the moment James had been made King he had known that one of his dynasty would inherit the throne. He had chosen to allow the Princes amongst themselves with the leaders to decide the next King through a vote. The time was here. The council had been deliberating for months. The Princes had made their cases to lead, debates were had, strategy discussed and plans made. "That is it then, the final vote is cast", spoke Grand Prince Nathan accepting the ballot from Viceroy Axeman. The mood was tense, everyone in the councilroom knew the weight that rested on the next words to be said.

James stood and looking at each Prince before speaking said "It is Behemoth, henceforth known as Louis, once a bastard born, now legitimized King of the Crusaders of Acre, for now until the day where he is taken by chadz or abdicates through ancestral tradition".  With that James walked over to King Louis and withdrew from a case a shining pair of gilded hourglass gauntlets, "Your grandfather would be proud, no doubt he smiles on us this day, take his lordly gauntlets and with them you will crush the skulls of a thousand heretics, make him proud".

Next he walked to W0lf, henceforth known as Viceroy Benjamin, and to Marshal Joan "Your service to our faction has been exemplary, as a reward each of you will take a set of Masterwork Transitional Armour. Walking back to clap the new King on the back James said "May chadz guide your sword Louis. You have the task of shepherding this holy Kingdom through a new age.  May you be the light in the darkness, I have no doubt you will do great things." He then spoke to the group "The ceremony will be tonight and the halls will run red with wine. We all have a glorious road ahead, let us celebrate with the people". The new King exchanged some words with his brothers and then the group followed the Emeritus King and Viceroy out into the courtyard. As they neared the door the rumble from the crowd was extroardinary. For a people under siege the morale in durquba was certainly high. "LOUIS LOUIS LOUIS! Long Live the King! CHEAP WINE! DEUS VULT" were cries echoed across the desert that day. The city was alive with music and celebration as the royal procession mades its way to the throne. There King Louis was crowned to fanatic support alongside his proud brothers, knights, clansmen, and adoring plebians.

Returning to his chambers James felt the rush of the years come to him, he thought of the crusaders resting in Austria, those whose journey ended before his own. He felt he had done them justice and fought for them well. As he stood by the window of the keep James made peace with his time as King and as he looked out on the oasis he felt a weight lift from him. His course now was once again to serve the King. This would definitely increase his ability to Jamesnado.

☩☩☩

King James abdicates the throne to King Louis (Formerly Behemoth) and Viceroy Axeman abdicates to Viceroy Benjamin (Formerly W0lf), Axeman and James will still be playing but assume Emeritus positions and defer to the rule of Louis and Benjamin. It has been a god damn pleasure leading Acre. I could never have imagined how great the experience of leading this clan would be. I look forward to being a part of Acre under King Louis for years to come. LONG LIVE THE KING! LONG LIVE ACRE! DEUS VULT!

"Fuck the King!" would've been shorter.

Nice rp though - and have a wonderful retirement with all the wenches an elderly ex-king might want ;-)

Also, James, you were legitimately mad at a rhyming dwarf on the internet.
