PALACE DISTRICT - His Grace the Crown Regent Zolor Zahir I today announced that he would finally move beyond his role as acting Patriarch of House Zahir and appoint a new Duchess in his steed. This will allow the Regent to move beyond House Politics much like the Prince of the Blood has done, leaving House Politics to those who do not hold positions of Crown or Rotal Sovereignty As for the Duchess herself, political pundits cite Voreyn Zahir as a potential wildcard, and no one seems really sure what to expect - much to House Zahir's pleasure, no doubt.
