A Year of Little Consequence (event)
Qanamsar Pejman has reigned for seventy years, Seventy one now that another Longest Night has passed and ushered in the new year. He is a good man, and a just ruler. Certainly wiser than some who have ruled in his place before, and some who could have done so in his stead - on this fact everyone in the Hiklahn can agree.
It must, however, be admitted that there may have been some serious lapses in judgement on his part.
His forefathers did not hesitate to see the line pruned of pretenders before their death. A brutal task to be sure, and not one which I envy, but history has proven it a necessity for the good of the Hiklahn. Pejman, however, is a good, and kind man. He has compassion for a world which is often so quick to punish the compassionate. For his virtue he may have doomed us to the fires of a full civil war, a horror not seen for generations.
But these are concerns for another time. Pejman slows with age, but he has lived for ninety years and is sure to live for at least few more. So for the time being, the chroniclers shall likely mark this year as another year of little consequence in the Hiklahn.
Long may he reign!
