A Clash of Kings

A Clash of Kings was an event that occurred in early-June Imperial Year 2700. With Rolan Wheeler's return to the Northlands a few weeks prior, tensions had begun to build up. A festival was held on Mount Yeti with the core of Imagine Goddess impersonating themselves as "Mercenary Kings". This charade did not end well, as the arrival of Blackstar added more enmity to the situation, causing Rolan to lash out at the festival guests. This resulted in a large commotion which was only abated when Rolan Wheeler clashed with Qoheleth Roth and Ashen Wu on the outskirts of Mount Yeti. The conflict mainly involved Rolan Wheeler's claim as the Mercenary King. In the aftermath, the reputations of all involved suffered as a result, except Matthew Diesel, who managed to distance himself in a clever display of self-preservation, though his relationship with Rolan Wheeler was somewhat waned. Blackstar returned with a CODE:SOULLESS, Ashen Wu became more corrupted by the Gold Armors, while Qoheleth Roth and Rolan Wheeler suffered only tarnished reputations.

Notable Quotes
I earned that title! Me! Through blood and fire and death I fought Lord Alba time and time and time again until I won and stood triumphant! You may have fought the Olympians and the Manticore Syndicate and their powers, but every single day I fought a madman who was corrupt inside and out, denying his promises of power I desperately wanted. On the day of my first great victory I took the title, not before, and not in JEST. It is the representation of my honor, that I fought with that honor when all around me were corrupt. I alone kept Alba from true domination. Then Alba Sanctum was shown to be beatable and then others joined me! I fought with the Clicking Host which is mocked and now the Dinodrivers which are snubbed! I fought with weapons others sneered to use! And you MOCK ME! MY FRIENDS MOCK ME! - Rolan Wheeler - while in a berserk rage - to Ashen Wu and Qoheleth Roth
