The Abraxas Cult Complex, Penthouse.
Kivar's allies gathered into the penthouse one by one, first into the room was Deucalion the leader of the beast riders, next was Minister Daario, followed by Prime Minister Goodwin and finally Malia entered. Malia waited until everyone found their seat before introducing Kivar, Prime Minister Goodwin could not believe that two Ministers were in the pocket of such a crude and evil man. Daario sat without hesitation as his mind stilled belonged to Kivar, Deucalion smiled as he took his seat. The Prime Minister was the last to take a seat, He did notice that there was three empty seats, one was Malia and the other was obviously Kivar's, he had no clue as who the third seat belonged to. Malia walked to the door and opened it and Kivar walked in wearing his armor minus the helmet which was under his arm.
Allow me to introduce the true King of Onderon, Kivar Abraxas.
"Thank you for the introduction, my dear. You may take your seat."
Malia walked over to her seat and sat, Kivar followed behind her and stood in front of his seat. He placed his helmet down on the table in front of him and his allies. Kivar cleared his throat before speaking.
"As many of you can tell there is one seat empty, and that's because our next ally has yet to join with us. Rest assured that he will in due time. I have gathered you all here to discuss the next stage of my plan."
Kivar made note of everyone looking around the room, completely in the dark of his true plans.
"Everyone here, besides Deucalion has been invited to attend the upcoming party for young prince Syrio, correct."
Everyone with the room nods in agreement.
"Well our nest ally will join us during or after the party. You see everyone here has a part to play, you'll find the exact details in the data pads in front of you. Study them and learn your job for the party, any questions?"
Kivar took a seat and waited for anyone to ask any questions that they may have. Prime Minister Goodwin stood up and cleared his throat before asking his question.
My Lord, who is our next ally?
"Why the Lord Commander of the Paladins."
Alright, so how do we get him on our side?
"Don't you worry yourself with that, he will join us before the party is over."
With that being said Prime Minister Goodwin sat back down in his seat and the rest of Kivar's allies picked up their data pad and began to review them.

A week laterIziz Royal Palace.Kivar and his allies had made their way into the Palace separately. Kivar had come with two of his 'assistants' who carried his painting supplies as Kivar was hired to paint a portrait of the Royal Family. The Prime Minister had come to the party with his wife, who was completely in the dark on all things that had to do with Kivar. Minister Daario had come to the party alone and mingled with high ranking officers within the Onderonian Military as well as the Lord Commander of the Paladins, Beric Raeken. Malia also came alone as she had a very special task to perform. King Roger Bradley and his eldest son Steven were late to the party as Roger was explaining in great details the hardships of what it took to be King. Queen Lysa was ensuring that her youngest son, Syrio, was ready for his party. Martin Brisk, the King's Hand, was already down at the party mingling with guests and apologizing for the tardiness of the King and Prince Steven. Once the entire Royal family had gathered at top of the staircase, the music stopped and Martin began to announce the Royal Family.Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you King Roger, Queen Lysa, Prince Steven and of course Prince Syrio, the young man who we all gathered to celebrate and to honor.The Royal all walked down the staircase as their names were called and proceeded to mingle with the party guests. The Queen found her way over to Kivar who had just finished setting up his easel.""Shall I begin, M'lady?"Yes, please do. If you could, would you first paint a scene of the party?"Of course, your Grace and when you are ready for the Family portraits just let me know."The Queen smiled and walked away as Kivar began to paint. As the Queen walked away she could help but feel a strong desire for the young painter, she quickly shook the thoughts out of her head as she went on to speak with several different guests. Her mind however always find itself thinking about the young painter. The Prime Minister and the King were speaking at great lengths about upcoming policies, which had eased the mind of Prime Minister Goodwin. Malia had managed to slip away and began her task that she was assigned, which was placing bugs around the palace so that Kivar could spy on the Royal Family and glem important information that could help his master plan. Minister Daario and Lord Commander Raeken had moved their conversation to a quiet room which had no guests as they had been discussing Defence contracts and the security of the palace in relation to each other.I guess that wraps up that.It does indeed.I was wondering if I may ask a personal question?Go right ahead, Minister.Well I was wondering if you were happy with the state of things in the palace.And what do you mean by that?I mean are you happy with only guarding the Palace while Sandor McCain and his overpaid mercenaries guard the Royal family?Beric Raeken had to stop and think about the question that Minister Daario had asked, as he was not openly happy about the fact that the Royals only trusted him to guard the palace. He believed that he and the Paladins should guard both the palace and the royal family, but he never spoke about his unhappiness with anyone. So how did the Minister of Defence know. Kivar could sense an uneasiness flowing from the room that Daario and Beric Raeken had entered, everything was going to his plan, which caused him to grin as he continued to paint.

As the events of the party begin to unfold, Deucalion starts his task for the night.
Deucalion was near a hidden passage at the city's wall which he had used to sneak in, now ten other beast riders would use it for the same thing. Deucalion had to give it to Kivar, as his plan was flawless. By using the ten beast riders as a distraction to lure out the Lord Commander of the Paladins, the one part of the plan that he wasn't a fan of was using his men to cause a distraction. He would however go through with the plan no matter how much parts of it displeased him. His men were to attack several places in the city to draw out the Lord Commander, as his men entered the city he proceeded to tell them the plan.
Alright men, here is the plan. Lord Abraxas wants you to go wild and cause as much fear and chaos as you possible can. The Paladins will be sent off you so be careful, you ,Deucalion points to one of the beast riders, will serve the master in another way.
Deucalion shows a holomap of the city and sends his men off to their spots, while him and the one remaining beast rider waited for a the next phase. A Doppelganger of Kivar dressed in his Sith armor walked out the shadows and began to speak.
You have the honor of being the main event this evening.
The doppelganger walked closer to the beast rider and placed his right palm on his head, with that the doppelganger disappeared and the beast rider's eyes turned red the same color as Kivar's eyes when the darkside taint shows. Kivar moved his temporary vessel to test out its reflexes, before turning to Deucalion.
You have played your part nicely, Deucalion. Now return to the complex and wait for the others to return.
Deucalion bowed and proceeded to walk back to the Cult's complex. The Vessel walked off in opposite direction of the leader of the Beast Riders, and he laughed at the thought of what he was going to do. The plan was coming together, very nicely, he thought to himself. He of course could only maintain control of this body for a short while before the body died.
Sounds of people panicing soon filled the air as the Beast Riders began their attacks.
Meanwhile at the Party held at the Royal Palace.
The Lord Commander was still in the middle of his thought when several of his paladins came up to him and whispered in his ear, informing him of the attacks throughout the city. Beric Raeken bowed to apologize to the Minister of Defence as he walked out of the room they were in and proceeded to head out to help deal with the beast rider problem.

Residential District, Iziz
Beric Raeken had left the party at the Royal Palace to deal with the attacks throughout the city, he had ordered his best Paladins to deal with the other attacks while we dealt with the one in the Residential District. As he arrived he noticed a man with a long bladed Vibrosword standing atop the rooftops, after ascending up an emergency rooftop exit, Beric drew his own Vibrosword and came face to face with the attacker.
Drop your weapon, and surrender yourself.
Now why would I do something like that? The party can start now that you are here Lord Commander.
I will give you one more chance to drop the weapon and surrender or I'll be forced to engage you.
But Lord Commander, I want to engage you. That's the real party.
Beric took his stance and readied himself for the upcoming fight. Kivar still controlling the beast rider host rushed over to the Lord Commander swinging the sword in an upright motion. Beric blocked the attack by swinging his sword down onto the enemy blade. Soon after the initial attack both Beric and Kivar's Vessel began clash swords and all that could be heard throughout the Residential District was the sound of metal clashing against metal. While the fight on the rooftop continued a small crowd started to form below the building watching the fight, one of witnesses was a holo reporter who was a member of the Abraxas Cult. This man had been instructed to broadcast the fight which is what he did.
Meanwhile at the Royal Palace.
Many of the party goers had made note that the Lord Commander had left the party with several of the Royal Paladins, one look at them and you could tell that they were wondering what was happening at outside of the party. Prime Minister Goodwin having managed to slip away for a brief second found himself at a holo projector and turned it to the channel that the Cultist was broadcasting from, he turned on the projector and returned to the party in time to see the fight between a beast rider and Beric Raeken. While the Prime Minister was busy completing his task KIvar took a break from painting and began to speak with the hand of the King, Martin Brisk.
"My Lord Hand, how are you enjoying the party?"
A typical Royal Party, who are you?
"How rude of me, my name is Kivar. I'm here painting photos at the Queen's request."
I see, is it your first time in the Palace?
"I'm lucky as its my second time at the Palace, of course the first time was years ago."
Well you enjoy yourself, I must be getting back to the King.
"Of course My Lord Hand, just one last thing."
Kivar walked closed to Martin and placed a hand on his shoulder and began to use his force technique, Alter Mind, Kivar began to twist Martin's mind into believing that he was in league with the attacking beast riders and the King's personal guard Sandor McCain. Once Kivar was finished Martin returned to the King as the holo projector turned on showing the fight between the Beast Rider and Beric Raeken.
Atop a Rooftop in the Residential District.
The between KIvar's Vessel and Beric continued, Kivar's Vessel began to slow down as the Kivar was having trouble maintaining control of the host body and altering the mind of Martin Brisk at the party. In one fell swoop Beric managed to disarm Kivar's Vessel, Beric pointed his sword at the body's chest.
Yield, I have won.
You really think that you've won? I was merely a distraction, to get you away from the Palace. So that my master can kill the King.
Who is your Master?
It's The King's Hand, Lord Brisk.
Beric Raeken had a look of shock on his face as his attacker revealed his 'master', and by dropping his guard for a second Kivar's Vessel grabbed Beric's sword and plunged it into himself, killing the vessel. The Holo broadcast had managed to pick up the last conversation that Beric and his attacker had, which was heard at the Royal Palace, thanks to the Prime Minister.

Iziz Royal Palace.
As the Holo broadcast ended, the paladins that were still at the party began to swarm around the King's hand, Lord Martin Brisk. Martin Brisk still under the influence of Kivar's mind altering technique began to panic and grabbed one of the paladins' sword, killing the paladin who it belonged to. Martin began to point the sword at the other paladins and the king himself. The King's personal guard, Sandor McCain, was standing next to the King, making sure that Martin couldn't kill the King. Kivar made his way from one end of the hall were he was painting to where Martin and the others were at. Once Kivar was there, Martin acted upon his 'mission' that Kivar had planted in his mind.
Stupid, Beast Riders they can't do anything right. We should have just killed you in your sleep, but no Sandor wanted you to do while you were awake so that he would be to blame. Sandor do it now while we still have the chance, Kill the King.
Martin Brisk raised his sword and swang it at the King, who was startled by the reveal of Information that his personal guard Sandor McCain, was involved in the plot to kill him. Kivar moved passed the King and Sandor all the while grabbing a sword from a nearby paladin, and blocked the attack made by Martin Brisk. The sound of the two blades clashing brought everyone who was shocked by the Martin's reveal of his plan to kill the king. Kivar pushed his sword against Martin's while grabbing the hilt of the sword that Martin was using, forcing martin to drop the sword and allowing Kivar to knock him out with the hilt of his sword. As Martin fall to the floor unconscious, Kivar handed both sword to two nearby Paladins. The King backed away from Sandor, and issued an order to place him and Martin under arrest.
Guards, place both Sandor McCain and the lord hand under arrest.
Sandor made no attempt to resist arrest as he could not believe that Lord Brisk could ever be involved in such a plot and that he would implicate him as well. The Paladins cuffed Sandor and Martin and dragged them out of the Royal Palace. While other Paladins made sure that the Queen and the Princes were safe. King Bradley walked to Kivar and extended a hand out to him to thank him for his swift actions and for saving his life.
Thank you, Mister?
"Kivar Abraxas, your grace."
Abraxas? I think I've heard that name before.
"Most likely from the Queen, she invited me here to paint a family portrait of you and your family as a gift for the young Prince."
I see, that must be it. Might I ask where you learned to fight like that?
"Of course, your grace. When I was younger my father hired a combat instructor to teach me how to fight and defend oneself, he thought it was wise for a young man to know such things."
I see, well I think the party is over. Did you manage to paint the portrait that my wife hired you to do?
"Unfortunately no, your grace. I did manage to paint a few of the party before the mishap."
Well in that case why don't you stop by tomorrow and paint the portrait. I believe my wife and sons would rather enjoy something peaceful since tonight was anything but peaceful.
"I would be honored to, your grace."
King Bradley was again shook Kivar's hand and walked away while being escorted by the Paladins, they were most likely taking him to see his family. Kivar smiled and exited the Royal Palace and saw that the Lord Commander was just now entering the palace. Kivar knew that his allies would want to meet and discuss in detail what just happened, but that was something they would do in the morning.

In the weeks that followed the attempt on King Bradley's life, the ordered a thorough investigation into his Hand, Martin Brisk and Sandor McCain. The King's investigators found enough damning evidence that incriminated and implicated Brisk, McCain and McCain's men, all thanks to the Abraxas Cultists. The Cultists who were not at the party as guests had arrived as servants and managed to plant the evidence in the personal quarters of both Brisk and McCain. Once the investigation was concluded, The King sentenced all involved to death. The King placed the Lord Commander of the Paladins in charge of the security of him and his family, the King still needed a new Hand to sit on his small council. Many of the King's advisors whispered the name of Kivar Abraxas as the next hand, some of the advisors were influenced by Kivar himself while the others thought it was wise to reward him as he saved the King's life.

Iziz Royal Palace.
King Bradley was sitting in his study thinking about his decision on who should become his next Hand. It wasn't something that he could take lightly either, not since his last hand tried to have him killed. Many of his advisors were telling him that the best person to become the new Hand was Kivar Abraxas, as he saved the King's life. Roger knew that his advisors didn't say any name lightly, so there has to be more to their suggestion then the fact of Kivar saving his life. He just wasn't sure what their other reasons could be. Queen Lysa was in her and Roger's bedroom, laying in bed thinking about how Kivar saved her husband's life. She had noticed how handsome Kivar was before in the market, where she first meet him and hired him to paint her family portrait. She couldn't stop thinking about Kivar, everything else was not as important as her time thinking about him. The two Princes were busy practicing their swordsmanship skills out in the courtyard.
The Abraxas Cult Complex.
Kivar stood out on the penthouse balcony and stared at the palace, with a grin on his face. Deucalion was down watching the cultists train, and giving advice to them on their combat skills. Malia was in her office within the complex, she was reviewing all of the cultists work making sure that everything was in place and was going according to plan. Kivar's other allies were busy with their everyday jobs, which didn't bother Kivar as he knew they needed to keep up their appearances in public. Kivar could feel more of his power coming back to him while some of it was being drawn to and stored in side of the mask he had created.

Penthouse Suite, The Abraxas Cult Complex. An Hour before the Hand of the King Ceremony.Kivar sat in his chair looking at a holo of the city. He had a meeting with a businessman before the ceremony that King Bradley would announce his new hand, Kivar knew that he was being chosen either wise he would not have been invited to attend the ceremony. The doors of the turbolift to his Penthouse suite opened up and two of his cultist walked out with a third man in between them. Kivar stood up from his seat and waved the cultists away, all the while walking towards the businessman. Kivar extended his hand out the man and then spoke. "You must be Mr.Mason? Please call me, Derren.Kivar and Derren shook hands and both took seats across from each other."I assume you know why I wanted to meet with you, Derren."I would assume that it has something to do with a contract that Mason Industries just acquired. "It does, you see I am interested in the gene splicing project. You see I am about to be in a position of power and I would like exclusive access to the project." Gene Splicing? It's true what they say about you."What do they say about me?"Only that there is nothing you can't find. Back to the topic at hand, what position of power are you talking about, and why would someone like you be interested in gene splicing?"You see, Derren in a hour I'll be the new Hand of the King. As to why I would be interested in gene splicing, well let's say that my goals don't end at being the Hand of the KIng."Derren Mason smiled at Kivar's statement and pondered what his goals could be, he however didn't spend a lot of time trying to figure them out and instead cleared his throat. Well then, allow me to be the first to congratulate you on becoming the new Lord Hand. It would be my pleasure to do business with you, but what's in it for me? "Once I'm the Lord Hand, you'll have a friend within the government that will keep you informed about new and upcoming contracts." You have yourself a deal, Lord Hand.With that said both Kivar and Derren Mason stood up and shook hands again, Derren walked to the turbolift where the same two cultists that rode up with him were waiting to ride back down with him. Kivar walked out onto the balcony and stared at the Royal Palace and a small grin appeared on his face. Malia exited from a hidden room with in the penthouse and walked towards Kivar who was still standing on the balcony.M'lord, is it wise to promise such things. I mean that man would betray you in a heartbeat if it suited him."I understand your issues with Mr. Mason, my dear. However we do need access to his company and their gene splicing project and the quickest way to do so was by making this deal. If he does decide to betray me, then he will learn why I was called the Dread Lord of Onderon." Of course M'lord, your suit is in the bedroom. The ceremony will be starting soon and you are the guest of honor."Right you are my dear, you may take your leave. I'll see you at the ceremony."Malia lowered her head and left the penthouse suite via the turbolift. Kivar walked back into the room and head to his bedroom so that he could put on the suit and head off to the Palace for the Ceremony.Iziz Royal Palace An Hour later, Hand of the King Ceremony.Everyone important on Onderon was gathered out front of the Royal Palace, eagerly awaiting the King's announcement of who was becoming his new Hand. Within the crowd of people were over several dozen cultists, royal paladins who were undercover incase anyone attempted to attack the King or the Royal Family. The Prime Minister and the other Ministers were also there. Lord Commander Beric Raeken was standing on the balcony where the King would make his announcement, he was ensuring that there was enough security for this event as he didn't want a repeat of the young Prince's birthday party. King Bradley and Kivar were standing inside of the palace just enough out of sight of those below them. The Queen and her sons were standing off on the opposite side of the King. Are you ready? This will the greatest day of your life."I am your grace. It will be a privilege to serve as your Hand. We will ensure the safety of the people, my King."Well said, now let us begin the ceremony. The People have wait long enough.First onto the balcony was the Queen and her sons, then the King. Beric Raeken take his spot behind the King incase he needed to get the King away in a hurry. Kivar waited in the spot that he and the King were just standing, he would wait until the King called his name and named him as the new Lord Hand. The King walked up to a mic and started to speak. I would like to first thank everyone who came out here to help us celebrate and honor the nest Hand of King. Secondly, I knew it has been a rough few months and I appreciated your understanding and patience while we investigated the incident that occured here at the Palace during a party for my son, Syrio. I would like to say a few words about the next hand before we welcome him. He is by far one of the bravest men I know, he is also a talented artist and some have said that he is extremely intelligent. If you ever had the pleasure of speaking to him, you would know that he has the wisdom of a seasoned veteran and the youthful vigor of an eager recruit. It is my pleasure to introduce the new Hand of the King, Kivar Abraxas. With the King finished introducing him, Kivar walked out onto the balcony and up beside the King. Both men turned and faced each other, Kivar bowed and shook the King's hand before the King hand Kivar the Hand of the King pin. Kivar pinned the pin to the left side of his chest, then turned to face the crowd below and spoke into the mic in front of him."It is an honor and a privilege to be named Hand of King, I promise that I will up hold the duties of the Hand to the best of my abilities. I also would like to thank you all for coming to celebrate this with me, it truly means a lot." With that Kivar, the King and the Queen and their children walked back into the palace as the crowd below cheered to their heart's content.

In the following weeks Kivar made several changes as the new Hand of the King. For starters he upgraded the Paladin's armor, he also created a new position for the paladins, these paladins were now known as the King's guard and were overseen by the Lord Commander Raeken and Deucalion. Kivar appoint Deucalion as his personal guard and an honorary paladin, which allows Deucalion a chance to speak with the Lord Commander. Kivar also started up a small council, whose sole purpose was to inform him and the king of the current state of things on Onderon, not just the capital. Kivar also had his armor moved from the Cult Complex to his quarters at the Royal Palace, along with the masks that were hidden in the basement of the complex. With Phase one of his plan now fully completed, Kivar began to get phase two underway.

The weeks turned into months and Kivar was quietly making preparations for phase two of his plan. For starters he had arranged for King Bradley's eldest son to visit other cities with the Minister of Education and the Minister of Defense. This would allow him to corrupt the mind of Bradley's youngest son, and allow him to get closer to the Queen. It was important that Kivar kept a watchful eye on the Queen for she was important to his plan, moving forward. Kivar could feel his body starting to decay as more of his power returned to him, which worried him greatly as it could mean that his plan might need to be moved up much more quickly than he intended.

Months had passed since the eldest son of King Bradley and Queen Lysa had gone on his trip to visit the other walled cities of Onderon. In this time Kivar hid the negative reports of the Prince's behavior and instead reported to the Queen and King that their son was doing a fantastic job. Kivar also had began to train the King and Queen's youngest son in the art of swordsmanship, Kivar was surprised at quickly the young prince picked up the different techniques. It was during the training sessions and sparring sessions that Kivar began to plant seeds of betrayal and doubt in his mind. For this part of the plan to work Kivar couldn't just use his mind altering force technique, he had to make sure that these seeds were treated and cared for and allowed to grow and manifest themselves in the extract way that Kivar needed them to.

A few Years later.
Kivar had spent the last few years undermining the current King and Queen and everything had gone according to his plan. The Eldest Prince had been killed by 'Beast Riders; while out on his Diplomatic mission, which had caused the King to overreact and removed all of the Ministers, including the Prime Minister. The King was angry that he lost a son and that those responsible were still breathing. The death of the Eldest Prince had cause the Queen to lock herself away in her bedroom, she hasn't left the room within a year. The youngest prince was dealing with it the hardest and without his mother or father to consul him, it left Kivar to do it. Which allowed Kivar to poison the prince's mind even more. Kivar knew that the people of Onderon were furious that the King had taken away the elected officials that represented them and whispers of an uprising were soon spreading throughout the palace. The Royal Paladins were on high alert at all times, the some goes for the King's guard. Luckily for Kivar his 'bodyguard' Deucalion was always close by as were his instructions left by the King himself. Kivar could only laugh at the outcome, the King was worried at his safety and truly thought of him as a trusted ally. The Time was fast approaching when he would become the new King and bring Order to a chaotic Onderon.

In the following weeks, riots broke out all over the capital and other cities across the planet. King Bradley could do nothing to stop it as anything he did would only upset his people even more, so he asked Kivar to do something.
Kivar moved quickly through out the palace, getting everything ready for his ascension to the throne. He had waited a long time to enact the final phase of his master plan and now that it was almost time, he could help but grinning like a fool. All that remained to do was to eliminate the King and his heir, then install his own rule and start a dynasty that would last until the end of time. Kivar walked over to a balcony that overlooked the palace courtyard, and had a paladin summon the King Bradley to him, he also sent another paladin to get the young prince. Moments later Bradley walked out onto the balcony. Kivar had changed into his Sith Armor, in the moments before the King arrived.
What is it Kivar? Why have you summoned me here, and what are you wearing?
King Bradley had many questions and Kivar would answer them truthfully, as these were Bradley's final moments.
Well, the thing is my king, I have been plotting against you since before we ever met. You see, I manipulated events so that I could get close to you and the Royal Family. I staged the Beast Rider attack on the Capital and controlled your former hand into attacking you. So that you would make me the new hand, giving me power in the proceedings of the planet. I even had your own son assassinated, while feeding you and the Queen false information about how well he was doing, all to create civil unrest across the planet. I turned the planet's ministers against you and I even seduced the Queen. Now after you and your remaining heir are gone, I will bring Order to this Chaotic world and the people will hail me as a hero, the man who saved the planet from a mad ignorant Tyrant. My armor, was crafted thousands of years ago when I learned the ways of the Boga on the Dxun Moon.
King Bradley had a disturbed look on his face, he couldn't believe what he was hearing from his most trusted adviser. He didn't know what Kivar was playing at, but he didn't like it at all. So he continued to speak to his friend.
I don't believe you. You are my friend, my closest adviser. It's not possible, I would have seen the signs, you are like a brother to me.
Kivar removed his helmet and placed it on the ground and when he looked up allowed his eyes to become their true color, glowing red eyes which appeared to be burning. Then Kivar spoke to the King.
"You are a blind fool, can you see it now. The hate and rage be hide my eyes. We where never brothers and I certainly was never your friend. I only became your adviser to get close to you so that I could keep controlling things the way I saw fit. Enough of this pointless chatter, your reign ends tonight."
Using the force, Kivar grabbed and hurled the king over the ledge of the balcony all the while muttering 'long live the King' underneath his breath. King Bradley fell and hit the ground with his back, breaking it and several other parts of his body which included his arms and legs. King Bradley had suffered plenty of internal injuries that caused him to start spewing blood from his mouth with every breath he took.
In the moments that followed Kivar placed his helmet back on and left the balcony to go change and get ready for the next part of the plan, which was to get rid of the young prince.
Prince Syrio walked onto the balcony having been told by a Royal Paladin that his father wished to speak to him, but when he walked onto the balcony his father was no where to be seen. Syrio walked over to the ledge and stared out at the city and wondered when the riots would stop, then he looked down and saw his father. He yelled out for help and a group of Paladins lead by the Hand of the King, Kivar Abraxas, Syrio rushed down to the court yard to help his father. When he got there Kivar knelt over his father closing his eyes, then he stood up and Syrio asked if his father was alright, and if he had said anything.
Is my father alright? Did he say anything?
"The King is gone. He did say who pushed him off of the ledge with his dying breath."
Who did this! Who did this to my father!
"The King said that you pushed him. Paladins arrest Prince Syrio on the grounds of Regicide and patricide."
The Royal Paladins did as they were told and placed the young prince under arrest and took him to a cell to await his trail. Kivar then turned to another group of Paladins and gave them their orders.
"The Queen doesn't knew what happened here. Do not let her out of her chambers until I have spoken to her. The news will be easier to hear coming from a friend."
The Paladins nodded and left Kivar alone standing above the now dead King Bradley. Kivar could only smile at how well his plan was turning out.

Royal Palace, Iziz, OnderonIn the following months, the young prince was sentenced to death for the murder of his father. The following weeks after that Kivar married Queen Lysa and become the new King of Onderon. At first the people were thrilled to have a new King, a man who was interested in the people and undid some of the changes that King Bradley had ordered that they hated. Then Kivar had the refurbished into something that suited his style. People of Iziz soon started to call the Royal palace the Dread Palace, and soon after that people started to refer to King Abraxas as the Dread King. Kivar changed how the King's guard were dressed as well to suit his new title., even the Royal Paladins were given an update.Kivar drastically aged when he become the King and no longer tried to hide his true self. Deucalion was given the title of hand of the King, while Lord Commander Raeken remained in charge of the Royal Paladins, as for the head of Kivar's Cult, Minister Malia Maximus become his mistress. While Kivar's other Ministry allies kept their old ranks or were given promotions. Kivar's side project was coming along nicely as well and no one but Derren Mason and his company knew anything about it. Kivar sat on his throne with a wide smile as his plan had come full circle and he was now King. KIvar would later begin to construct a planetary fleet so that he could expand his rule and his domain.

Kivar was furious, that his newly created ship had been taken over and that his reign was interrupted by washed up Alliance soldiers. Kivar was then informed by a scout that the enemy had set up a staging area outside of the city and that they could begin their assault at any moment. Kivar dressed in his Sith armor paced around his throne room, trying to come up with a plan of attack. In all of his time planning on taking the throne, he hadn't foreseen anyone trying to end his rule and that bothered him greatly. It was that thought that made him rethink every part of his plan in case he had missed something. It then came to him, he had known that there were Onderonians in the Galactic Alliance and that the Alliance was defeated, he had forgot to check holo reports about which soldiers had lost their lives during that battle. A foolish mistake to be sure, but he soon realized that he could do nothing about it now. Kivar then sent an order to his army to march on the enemy and kill them all. Kivar then sat back down on his throne and brought up a holo projector that would display the battle to him. He wanted to be sure that nothing escaped his attention and that no detail went unnoticed.

Dread Palace, Iziz, Onderon.
Kivar was sitting on his throne with a smile on his face at the feeble attempt to get into the city. Then in a matter of seconds his smile was gone and replaced by a look of anger and disgust. Kivar wasn't all that worried about the invaders as he knew that they would come to him to try and force him to surrender and not waste Onderonian lives. It was honorable in a way, but predictable and when they came for him, he would use all of his power to end their lives and use them as example of those that raise up against him. Still sitting on his throne, Kivar started to meditate and focus on the upcoming battle.
Broken City Wall, Iziz, Onderon.
The Dread Loyalist fought with all their might, but they were no match for the willpower and determination of the Liberators. With each passing minute the enemy forces pushed back the Dread Loyalists and gained an even bigger foothold within the city. Many of the Loyalists wondered where their King was and why he wasn't out on the battlefield leading them to victory. Many of the Dread Loyalists started to give up and were surrendering to the enemy.

Location: Capital City of Iziz, Onderon.
The Liberation force continued to march towards the Dread Palace where the Dread King of Onderon was. Despite their best efforts, there was collateral damage. Most of it was architectural damage, buildings had been destroyed to try and prevent them from moving forward. Captain Chandler was leading a forward strike team that was near the palace. Chandler ordered for their AT-TE's to open fire on the Dread Palace, all forty-eight AT-TE open fired on the palace causing part of it to crumble to the ground. Captain Chandler had a few reasons for the order, the first being reports that the Dread King was able to use the force and a confrontation head on would be suicidal. The Second reason was that the people would view it as a beacon of hope in a sea of fear and darkness. Chandler and his strike team entered the crumbling palace and started to search for the Dread King.

Before the At-TE's fired on the palace, Kivar sensed his own demise. He hurried out of the throne room and check on his children, the oldest he had with the queen, while the younger one he had with his mistress. The older boy looked like a younger version of him and the younger son had red hair like his mother. In a moment of weakness, Kivar ordered a few of his cult members to take the children and hide. With that done, Kivar walked back to the throne room, when the AT-TEs open fired on the palace. The entire palace shock and started to fall apart. Kivar was knock over and had pieces of the throne room's roof land on him, the roof pieces were jagged and managed to pierce his Sith armor which caused him to start to bleed. Kivar could feel that his time was coming to an end, and forced all of remaining power and sent it to the masks he had hidden in the basement of the palace. Now Kivar was bleeding and exhausted from using so much power, when his enemies entered the throne room. Kivar not wanting to go down without a fight, ignited his lightsaber and charged at his attackers. He managed to cut down three of them before one of them fired their weapon at him, Kivar instinctively went to deflect the blaster fire then he felt pain and realized that the enemy had not fired a blaster rifle, but a slug thrower rifle. He clasped to the floor on his knees, bleeding profusely that nothing could save him. Kivar was granted a vision by the force, and he saw that this was not the end, but the beginning of something greater. Kivar then fall the rest of the way to the ground and let out his last breathe of air.

Captain Chandler and his team had searched the the palace then came upon what was the throne room and saw a man in red armor. Mark knew that this man had to be the Dread King. The Dread King activated his lightsaber and came at them and took out three of Chandler's men, before the Captain fired his slug thrower rifle which managed to hit the Dread King in a major artery. It was only a matter of seconds before the Dread King bleed out and died, afterwards Mark Chandler declared that Onderon was free of the Dread King once and for all.
It the following weeks Captain Chandler was named the Fleet Admiral of the Onderonian Navy by the remaining members of the Ministry before they declared Onderon under Marshal Law and disbanded. They left now Fleet Admiral Chandler in change of the planet and hoped that he would bring a lasting peace to the world.

In the following months after the disbandment of the previous government and Marshal Law declared, now Fleet Admiral of the entire Onderonian Navy, Mark Chandler had started to rebuild the capital city, Iziz, the progress had been slow and at times felt as if no progress was being made. That however was far from the case with the rebuilding effort underway, Chandler had started to form a new government, whose leadership was all military based. The newly formed government was called The Onderonian Federation and Chandler was its Chief of State. Following the formation of The Federation the newly constructed government building was finished, it was dubbed Federation Palace and was built over top of the ruins of the Dread Palace. The next building to be finished was the spaceport dubbed Spaceport Federale. The rebuilding effort was coming along, and with it the capital was expanding it's limits far pass what it once was.
