Epilogue:
With the emperor slain the party gathers their allies and surviving enemy leadership in the keep, deciding now is the time to discuss the future of the country.
They bring the following NPCs to the table to speak:
Yolanna & Greycloak to represent the forest folk
Cormac to represent Clan Buryn
Pluto & Commander Gunt to represent the mayors of the empire
Yum-Yuck to represent the Blackback gang
Jupiter & Lugh to give an independent view
Jagh-Deesh to represent the old empire
The party guides a discussion among the committee, re-affirming their promises and trying to instill a new government. The party first talks Yum-Yuck down from trying to become the emperor. They suggest Cormac become the new emperor as he has proven to be an honorable man. Cormac declares that his clan will continue to serve, no longer serving the emperor but the empire itself, its people and what the empire represents.
Yolanna takes this time to declare the forest folk and druids to be independent. The affirms that they will assist the empire as they always have but the forest will belong to them and they will not be a part of the empire’s wars and conflicts other than in its own defense. This is generally accepted by the party and the assembled committee.
The party suggests Jagh-Deesh take the role of emperor, at very least as penance for his time serving under the emperor. After discussing minotaur honor Jagh-Deesh agrees to take stewardship of the throne, if a better candidate is selected by council later, he will step down.
Lugh declares that his reason for being here on the Black isle is concluded and that he will be moving on, there are other people all over the world who need a champion to fight on their behalf. The party, with some sadness tells their friend they will celebrate him before he goes.
The newly selected steward to the throne, Jagh-Deesh, offers the party rewards and duties within the new empire.
Homlet: the ooze is offered a position as the court wizard of the steward. He takes the offer, his withered and weakened form not made for the dangers of adventures any longer.
Prodigious: the goblin requests the land around the murder machine facilities and wishes to study the process and facilities. He is given this land which is more or less orc mountain lands anyways, he takes both Stonesinger and Determined with him as additional security and to ensure he never takes it too far.
Acastus the fury & Jacob Ironsides the constructed, are sent out of the empire as official diplomats.
Cindergrip and Bronzefist the goliaths form a special team whose responsibility is to keep orc populations in the mountains in check.
Atreyu is appointed into Jagh-Deesh’s old position, the general of his armies.
Ilanth is asked to build a church to her faith in the capital. The Star in the Darkness will become the official faith of the empire, used to unify the empire
Colossal the goblin simply wishes for access to the capital libraries to help her complete her books, she expresses no interest in politics
Sunai requests to become the imperial stablemaster and is appointed as such
