P.S. I'm reverting into my former titles now.
3 Delaro 1445. King Iker of Solandra died in his sleep after a heart attack. Not a very surprising incident, since he had had a heart attack some time ago. But now that King Iker has died, the kingdom is thrown into disarray. The Crown Prince Itzal is supposed to claim the throne, but his elder sister, the Infanta Leandra, will not allow him. She claimed that the eldest child of the regent must reign, and not necessarily the male heirs. Infante Itzal disagreed, and, after a long debate, the Advisors Royal decided to settle down and chose Itzal instead, as tradition requires. Thus, Infante Itzal was crowned King Itzal I of Solandra.
Soon, though, the Advisors Royal started nagging on the newly-crowned king again. This time, they suggested strongly that he marry the woman long betrothed to him, the Princess Mirelle of Arded. Forced by circumstances, Itzal agreed and married the Princess, naming her Queen Mirelle of Solandra.
Queen Mirelle gave birth to twin daughters at 26 Joetas the following year. The king was joyful, although some dispute whether or not he truly loved his queen, and if he was truly happy. The daughters, christened Infanta Hena and Infanta Tziska, were named after their mother and her family.
Out of a sudden, though, disaster strikes. The former princess Leandra had gathered a band of supporters and advanced to hold a coup d'etat against the new king. King Itzal was forced to war against his sister, and the nation began to question if the new king was indeed a better choice above his disputer.
1 Sczion 1448 marked a spectacular date in the history of Solandra. For in that day, King Itzal defeated his sister's army. Leandra, however, would not accept defeat, and lunged a dagger into her bowels instead of surrender. King Itzal was grieved, but knew it was the best for all.
Another great event occured during that day. The Queen Mirelle gave birth to another child. The Crown Prince, christened Infante Pau of Solandra, brought great celebrations throughout the nation. His name, Pau, means "peace", named thus to commemorate the peace that fell across the nation on the day of his birth. The King saw his borth as a sign and decided to give him the name Iker in honour of his father.
