Inhabitants of Leichenberg!
Our beloved King, Max, has cast aside the prison of his physical body and ascended to a higher state of being, free from the constraints and limitations of frail flesh. We trust that in time, his wise and noble soul will return to guide us, his lowly children, along the rocky and uncertain pathways of this mortal world, but for the time being we are left to interpret His Majesty's wishes as best we can.
To this end, a Regency Council of senior lich lords has been appointed to temporarily exercise necrarchical authority until His Majesty's will is revealed to us. We call upon the people of this realm, whether living or dead, to unite during this testing time, confident in the knowledge that together we shall prevail.
The Regency Council
