Lacrima Castle history. Options

[P.P.A.]

The small kingdom of Lacrima used to be ruled by King Sturm II. with his sister Princess Rhiannon waiting to ascend the throne upon her brother's death.
Though her rise to power would be sooner than expected, and not caused by his passing away either. King Sturm II. was brought down in a coup d'etat after his rule of tyranny eventually drove the peasants into a revolution. Lord Ashton of Leyviur eventually defeated Sturm II. after which he was promptly exiled. Lord Ashton, having married Princess Rhiannon a few years before, was granted the title of King after his wife Queen Rhiannon I. was crowned the rightful ruler of Lacrima Castle.
During the following time, King Ashton IV. managed to restore the kingdom's economy which had been severely damaged under Sturm II.'s rule, returning some of the country's glory; even though a couple of veteran knights had already left the boundaries. Eventually the ban on Sturm II. was lifted and he was allowed to return to Lacrima, resuming his political activities on a lower level under the watch of the new rulers.
Eventually however, a notably sized region of the territory was lost to Hoarder I. of Domain and the capital had to be moved to the region Leyviur, the land Ashton IV. ruled before his ascension of the throne.
After a period of peace and prosperity, even though Lacrima Castle never managed to reach the glory of its olden days, all of a sudden Queen Rhiannon I. and Ashton IV. divorced. It remains to be seen what effects this will have on the country's government.
