When the news had hit Tempestas about the King's Murder, the Council of the Region had it's doubts and suspiscions. Who murdered the King? - Was the most common question, but the biggest wonder, was why. Why would someone murder the King? He was the best the Realm had seen in centuries, he had managed to keep the Kingdom's at peace, and took care of his people more than of himself. Tempestas would suspect someone from Corona's Council, since those were the people the King had relied on, but knowing that none in the Council have a big desire to sit on the Throne, they had doubts.
The bad news for them, was that the Crown was not given to the Nix-Natum family, which had served the Crown for years. That infuriated them, made them want to start a War. The Snowshades, too grieved with the recent death of Lord Snowshade, could not care less for who had gotten the crown, so allying themselves with the Snowshades of Nocte, and becoming indirect members of the council of Corona.
It had been several months since the accident, the Kingdoms had not seen days worse than these. The constant battle for the throne, a War starting, the Council would be too busy solving everyone's problems that they were forgetting there was no one on the Throne, and that had to stop. A letter had been sent to the two Lord Families of Tempestas, where they were invited to Ally themselves with the Council, or step back. The Council, however, did not mention any desire to put the Nix-Natum family on the Throne, thus, infuriating the loyal family of the North. So, Lord Alskart Nix-Natum was crowned himself King of Tempestas, which did not quite go as the Council would've wanted.
The Snowshades, in hope that things would not go to War, decided that it was best to sit back and watch the so called 'King' rule untill they had a clear idea of who they were siding with, which for now, they did not. The current head of the Snowshades in the North, and Widow to the late Lord Snowshade, would be a very requested figure in the public, since most of the citizens thought that a Snowshade on the Throne usually brings luck. The Snowshades have begged to differ, for quite some decades.
