Excerpt from Imperial Record 10847,
Transcribed by High Bezel Domini of the Archivum Civitas.
7th Day of the Third Moon, Year 826 of the Age of Power
"Have the Gods ever wondered if something existed above them?"
Thus wrote our most beloved: the Firstblood Ascendant, Lord of the Surem Mountains, High Monarch, and Crimsoned-Lined Sovereign before taking his own life within the Sanctum of his own domain.
With no heirs or consorts left behind, Blood Corin's lineage ends with his untimely passing.
By Imperial Decree, his titles, assets, and legacy now pass to the successor of the Sedes Sanguinis, who is yet to be determined.
Let his reign be remembered until the Heavens shatter once more.
Addendum: Though protocol remains intact, and the Empire continues to function as expected, its stability may not endure. With the Sedes vacant and the Imperial Bloodline extinguished, unrest simmers beneath a veneer of order. The Archivum Civitas will employ every means of information gathering at its disposal to ensure the Noble Bloodlines remain up to date as events unfold.
May the Vita protect us all.
