With Wilipo on the throne of the Swade, mcuh had been accomplished. He had reformed the system of Swade travel so it reflected its growth. He had constructed the grand City of Unchete on the Sea of the Blademaster. He had constructed a navy, reformed the military, converted people near and far. He had brought peace to a nation that thirsted for it. More and more babies were being born.
But his success, while celebrated by the people, was threatening to the Ascendants. The Five Traditional lines didn't like his popularity, it threatened them. They didn't like his age. Ascendant Masters were usually around 200 when they took the Grand Throne in Swade, not 50. The lenght of his reign made him unique, made his mark more lasting. Something had to be done about the dissident in the lines. No lomnger culd he just put procepctive masters in the Military or in th Academies or in the Temples and give them some title. No, something had to be done. he had to get them out of the Capital, so the real reforms could take place.
This was not his only motive though, no, not in the slightest. He knew his lineage would be superior, and he wanted it to continue to guide the Ascendancy. And he had a chance no one had ever had. He could onstruct his family, pick the traits and qualities and mix them so the Wilip branch would be superior. He was thinking 200 years ahead, plotting events even after his death. He had to give them power that was empty, a sword that was to brittle to break the skin. The Veritasians had a system worth emulatin he decided. Yes... it would work for what he wanted.
--------------------------------------------------------
Wilipo called the meeting of the Ascendants. He looked over the other 5 families. The Chips, the Szvitzer, the Wes, the Sudbur, and the Sintoni. He looked as the wondered what this could possibley be about.
"I have called you here today to present you with the ne organization of the Ascendancy's lands. You all are equal in your power, but what the Ascendancy needs now is not the Council sitting in one city. No, friends we have grown large. Now each family non-ruling family will have Governorship over a division of the Ascendancy. They will appoint a single Adviorter to council me on the happenngs in your region."
He pulled out a map and placed it on the table.
