Powder Mage Trilogy 01 - Promise of BloodChapter 5
Execution of the King and Nobles
In King's Garden, thousands witness the mass guillotining of King Manhouch, Queen Natalija, and over a thousand nobles. Tamas's council divides spoils while the mob's bloodlust is unleashed before order is restored.
Outcome
The old regime is symbolically and literally ended. It sparks riots, solidifies Tamas's power, but heightens risks of royalist backlash and Kez intervention.
