*20 Years later*
*Today was a sad day for the Imperium. Today, was the day the Shreeftut died. At the age of 73, the Shreeftut had lived a long and prosperous rule. Towering over all others at the funeral, the Keeramak stood between the rulers of the Conclave and those of the Elder Council, all their heads bowed down in prayer that the soul of the Shreeftut pass on peacefully.*
*4 hours later*
*Standing now within the grand hall of Cree'n'aak Palace, the Elder Council and Conclave gathered together once more to discuss who was to be the next Shreeftut. The Conclave argued that it was time that the Keeramak rose as foretold. The Elder Council, on the other hand, wanted a rising member of the Politics caste to be named Shreeftut. Pulling the doors open then, the Keeramak entered the hall, standing at a full 3 meters tall, it looked down on all of them with narrowed eyes. Silence followed it's entrance as the Keeramak made his way to the head of the long table the members of the two ruling orders and stopped. Looking out to all of them, it said.*
I propose a solution, honored members of the Conclave and Elder Council. We settle this the way warlords of old did when they wanted to merge their clans into one rule. I propose that this rising politician and I fight a duel. The winner becomes Shreeftut...the loser becomes entected into the winners new man servant.
*Quiet murmuring followed for several moments, the Conclaves more outraged then that of the Elder Council's, for they feared loosing their prophet to a pointless fight that they figure that the Keeramak is entitled to, while the Elder Council found it to be a good idea generally. Eventually, all came to the agreement and the fight was scheduled for the following week.*
