	BlkDragon and AngelSin had a very hands-on (and frankly autocratic) ruling style, and they curbed much of the traditional powers of the nobility in the south in favor of the expansion of Royal Authority. This is one of the reasons for the differences in legal traditions between North and South. Old-Blooded Northern aristocrats likely look at the Southerners as a bunch of avaricious upstarts willing to unravel every last scrap of tradition to make coin. Southern merchants likely look at the Northerners as reactionary and backward, and trying to stifle the South's economic growth to preserve their own power. Many Southern nobles would undoubtedly like an institution like the Northern Estates to have the ability to influence legislation and petition the king directly. The Northern Estates are likely very opposed to any dilution of their power.

The Vlorress Affair of 473

	Into the standoff, Aldenbar returned to the city secretly and began inviting people to meet with him at the opulent [[House of the Silver Swan]]. He had been appointed as the new Lord Chancellor by the King, and was granted Royal Authority to disband the Council as unable to function, cancel the tax scheme, and appoint a new Sithire (Duke) to govern the South. With these powers, he secured the cooperation of the Guard, Resque's merchant alliance, Lady Councilor Daranek, The Raven, and the remaining Magistrates, who were also alarmed by Seward's treason.

	Seeing their support crumble, Seward, Harscorn, and his corps of loyal Watch rangers fled the city and entered into exile. Reizeau was freed, but seeing the Council disbanded and Aldenbar in full authority, declared himself betrayed and bitterly exiled himself to [[Ethcabar]], then to Myst.

The Two Sithires

	Aldenbar met with several candidates, and eventually selected [[Nisa ul-Alathar Folvati]], a noble with impeccable bloodline, to become as the new Sithire. Branth Truxton served as Nisa's Lord Privy Seal, a sort of secretary and minister without portfolio. Secretly, Branth was also the master of the [[Ninxek]], Arangoth's network of spies and informants. Marcion busied himself with the work of the Chancellery and made no public intervention into the Sithire's business, but the Truxton family were vassals of the Aldenbars. There were no shortage of people who believed that Branth was the leash connecting Nisa to Marcion's hand.

	Nonetheless, she developed problems with opium, and this was quietly concealed as long as possible. When the situation became untenable, Nisa abruptly resigned for reasons of health, and Arlok appointed Marcion as the new Sithire. He nominated the Magistrate [[Julius Malbraxa]] to succeed him as Lord Chancellor, to which Arlok agreed. Marcion then stepped in, in her stead, finding himself in charge of a growing maritime power that’s chafing increasingly at having to pay taxes to what they see as a dead-weight monarchy.

	[[Marcion Aldenbar]], a cousin of Arlok, helped draft some of the new laws used in Drache, along with Lord Chancellor Bourne. King Arlok negotiated with the council and got them to accept his authority after conceding provincial authority, their own criminal code and jurisdiction over maritime matters as well as the agreement to live in [[Castle Black]] for at least four months of the year. Marcion didn’t like Arlok at first but accepted that a united Arangoth is a better Arangoth and pushed for the agreement. Despite the peaceful resolution, many remained unsatisfied.

	[[Topaz Silverbow]], serving a term as governor of [[Elvendeep]], signed an accord with Arlok right around then, which made Elvendeep a province of the realm. Though Elvendeep needed Arangothian power to stand up against the [[Zul Kiras\|Zul Kiran]] horde, this was very unpopular even though Arlok has done hardly any ruling over Elvendeep at all.

	The strife of the three princes against [[The Order of the Beady Eye]] left [[Arangoth]] without a strong central authority for decades. King [[BlkDragon]] and Queen Alysia [[AngelSin\|"AngelSin"]] made what was a small fishing hamlet into their national capital in 465. The [[Northern Estates]] offered to confirm AngelSin and BlkDragon as monarchs in return for acknowledgement of their traditional rights, but their letter went unanswered from Drache.

	The pair were only visible rulers for two years before entrusting the management of the kingdom to their Regent, [[The Raven]], who himself soon became seldom seen in [[Drache]], or anywhere else in Arangoth. Soon, BlkDragon and AngelSin disappeared forever. Appeals to the Raven frequently went unanswered. The Royal Legion and the Royal Navy disbanded for lack of orders and lack of pay. The Northern Estates looked to [[Perlim Larkspin]], the Palatine of the North for leadership rather than the Raven.
