ATTENTION VILLAGERS!
ONCE AGAIN WE GATHER FOR AN EXECUTION, THIS TIME PERFORMED BY HER MAJESTY SANGFROIDWARRIOR!
ORBOKNOWN HAS BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF TREASON, BY THE ALL POWERFUL KING AND/OR QUEEN SANG!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Orboknown awaits his execution with a dignified silence, seemingly unaware of the rope around his neck. He holds a still expression on his face, displaying equal parts apology and condescension. The village square is filled with an uneasy silence, as everyone already knows this execution is a mistake, but dare not speak in defiance of Her Majesty.
"ORBOKNOWN... YOUR CRIMES AGAINST ME AND THIS KINGDOM WILL NOW FACE PROPER PUNISHMENT. EXECUTIONER, THROW THE SWITCH"
A hooded figure to the side of Orboknown pulls a lever, and the ground beneath his feet is pulled from under him. Eyes closed, and face steady, he falls, only to be caught by the rope from which his body now sways lifelessly. Many of the spectators have looked away in shame, as an eerie drizzle of rain falls along with the sun.

My... my dear friends and loyal citizens. The signs following Orboknown's execution cannot be ignored... he could only have been a mere villager, doing the best he could in these trying times.
Her Majesty, SangfroidWarrior, has made a grave error in killing one of this town's supporters.
BUT LET US NOT DESPAIR!
THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE!
ORBOKNOWN COULD HAVE BEEN OUR HERO, AND WE'D HAVE A RIOT ON OUR HANDS!
REGARDLESS, SANG'S REIGN HAS COME TO AN END, AND A NEW KING WILL BE CHOSEN TONIGHT!
REST WELL, VILLAGERS... You'll need it.
