Category:A Crisis Of Succession Logs

In month 6 of Turn 32, Lady Ienavi of Nabol made a plea of Aishani of High Reaches: rescue me. Pregnant, with proof her child was to be named heir, her husband now slipped into a coma, her witness abruptly deceased, she asked to be hid. Ustelan's death was announced a sevenday or so latter, as rumours began to spread of Ienavi's flight, her child, and her child's supposed inheritance.

With no heir acknowledged by the Holders' Conclave, Ustelan's sons and grandsons are agitating; someone will have to win out, but who?

Things You Might Know

• Lady Ienavi has gone missing, and rumour is that she's pregnant. Rumour also suggests that she has proof Ustelan intended her unborn child to be named heir, but no one has (yet) been able to confirm that. (She's recently shown up to Healer Hall, heavily pregnant, and with Aishani of all people.)
• A Harper has disappeared from Nabol, and it seems to be accepted fact (but why?) that he was murdered.
• Rone, eldest son of Ustelan's eldest son, had been serving as Ustelan's Steward. He seems to now have abandoned the post so as to focus on promoting his claim to the Hold.
• A few cotholds close to the main Hold have reported their sons being commandeered. It sounds like people are building up militias, but there's yet to be any official word on the subject.
• Riders on sweep over the area will have heard increasing concern from people.

Potential Hooks

• Where is Harper Lunmein's body? Is he actually dead?
• Where was Lady Ienavi, before she showed up at the Hall?
• How did Aishani find her/get involved?
• If young men are being taken from the cotholds, where are they being taken too? For what purpose? Is Rone really building an army?
