The Qar Succession Crisis: A Political Struggle In Progress

Two Years After the Fall of The Nazem Noble House

“Three blades circle the crown. One burns with tradition, another gleams with vision, and the third carves a new path. Which none have yet to spill blood but each yearns for the right to rule.”
— Court Scribe Jan of the North Tower

For over a century, King Magni Al Kossiheim Qar has ruled the Wendigo throne with unrelenting strength and unmatched sorcery. He is the undisputed ruler of this land of Yuhia and all fall under his dominion. His will alone has held the noble houses in check and ensured the continued supremacy of a kingdom built on power, discipline, and control.

Time claims all and he is no exception to that. The king grows old and the queen has already found rest with the Forest Father. Despite his power, age has left cracks in the once-unshakable crown. The princes and princesses feel the shifting tide. Their time is soon to come and a new era will shake the world.

It began subtly with court rivalries, ideological debates, quiet challenges but it ignited with the loss of the Fort City of Lavi. Once a stronghold of loyalist military power, Lavi's fall not only wounded the prestige of First Prince Arnar but shattered the illusion that the kingdom’s future would follow a single clear path.

The realm stands fractured, three factions vying for supremacy, and a fourth force waiting to tip the scales.

❖ The Traditionalists

Led by: Arnar Al Kossiheim Qar (1st Prince)
Allies: Leif (2nd Prince), Torsten (3rd Prince), Yrsa (8th Princess) Liv (10th Princess), multiple military houses

The Traditionalists seek to preserve the ideals that have defined Wendigo rule: strength through blood, conquest, and lineage. This speaks to their nature and to their divine purpose to dominate and rule nature. Arnar, once the most likely heir, has faltered after losing Lavi, but his ideology still grips the old guard, generals, nobles, and war-hardened families who hold on to the old ways of their forefathers.

The defeat wounded more than Arnar’s pride, it exposed a dangerous truth: his strength may not be absolute. He is not Magni, his power is not unquestionable. Now, even loyalists whisper doubts. Yet the Traditionalists remain a terrifying force, with blood-tested armies and the unshakable belief that only the strongest deserve the crown.

❖ The Visionaries

Led by: Sigrun Al Velidein Qar (1st Princess)
Allies: Astrid (2nd Princess), Eydis (4th Princess), Kaja (9th Princess), Signe (11th Princess), Tanisha (14th Princess), political families, arcane elite

Where Arnar offers steel, Sigrun offers knowledge and gold. It is the promise of a refined kingdom, sharpened by law, knowledge, and modern magical advancement. The Visionaries look to reshape the very structure of Wendigo power, giving rise to academies, regulated courts, and institutional stability over brute inheritance.

Her strength lies in infrastructure, reformist nobles, and the growing magical intelligentsia, but her cool detachment has won her few friends among the common people. While her vision is clear and elegant, many fear she would elevate bureaucracy over strength, and tradition over blood.

❖ The Reformers

Led by: Baldur Al Asmari Qar (Fourth Prince)
Allies: Inga (Third Princess), Tova (Twelfth Princess), Eirik (Fifth Prince), Runa (Seventh Princess), the people

Then came Baldur, rising from the ashes of Arnar’s fall, not as a scholar, nor a warlord, but as a voice of transformation. A royal with eyes toward the bottom, Baldur speaks not of tearing down the system but reforging it to make the weak stronger, thus forcing the strong to evolve.

Backed by merchants, soldiers, and low-ranking officials, the Reformers grow rapidly. Baldur offers hope without softness, ambition without cruelty. To the nobles, this smells like rebellion. To the people, it smells like salvation.

❖ The Undecided

Led by: No one
Notable Royals: Thyra (Sixth Princess), Elin (Thirteenth Princess), Vidar (Sixth Prince)

Three remain unaffiliated but they are far from irrelevant. These siblings are the keys to legitimacy, the final puzzle pieces any future monarch must control.

Their choices will determine whether war is averted—or ignited.

❖ The Crown in Waiting

King Magni has not named a successor. Some claim it is due to illness, others say he is testing his children in a final act of strength. Yet many suspect the truth is simpler and more terrifying:

He wants them to fight.

Let the weak be culled by civil war. Let the strong rise by conquest, not coronation. Let the sword sharpen itself.
