Agares Blight: Difference between revisions

Line 32:

By the time of the [[Dunan Unification War]] in 460, Agares found himself unable to silence the hardline factions opposed to his peaceful policies. As the war raged under Luca's direction, Luca and [[Jowy Atreides]] plotted to overthrow Agares, both for their own purposes. Nominating Jowy for knighthood led to the [[Knight's Oath]] ceremony where Agares drank the [[Wine of Fealty]], containing the blood of the oath bearer as was the tradition.

~~However~~, Jowy's blood was heavily poisoned, causing Agares to collapse in pain. Realizing what had happened, Agares spat out his protestations, trying to appeal to Luca's memories of his mother and quell his violent ambitions, which only served to enrage Luca as he recalled Agares' "cowardice". Agares soon died on the floor of [[L'Renouille Palace]].

Still, Jowy's blood was heavily poisoned, causing Agares to collapse in pain. Realizing what had happened, Agares spat out his protestations, trying to appeal to Luca's memories of his mother and quell his violent ambitions, which only served to enrage Luca as he recalled Agares' "cowardice". Agares soon died on the floor of [[L'Renouille Palace]].

His delegating of military authority and the eventual war that broke out during his reign, coupled with his assassination, means that history remembers Agares as a weak-willed ruler who made the first step towards the Highland Kingdom's destruction.
