“Com Gained Power Over Amgid”

Brant Gardner

We finally have a name of one of the kings who followed the usurper of Hearthom’s throne. Amgid is the king of the alternate line. During his reign, Com is able to separate himself and establish a separatge city-kingdom. This suggests that Amgid was reigning at a time of diminishing power, for he first loses control of an important captive line, and then will lose the battle to maintain his kingdom to this newly established kingdom. We do not hear what was happening in the main city, but it would appear that some form of decay had occurred by this time that eroded Amgid’s power.
