Details of your scenario:
Korvosa, the Jewel of Varisia, has long sparkled on the shore of Conqueror’s Bay. Established just over 300 years ago by Cheliax at the height of that empire’s expansion, the city now commands its own destiny. A line of Korvosan kings and queens emerged to rule the city, establishing an infamous seat of power—the Crimson Throne. Rulers have sat upon the Crimson Throne for more than a century, and the city has flourished; yet the monarchy always seems on the brink of disaster. The Crimson Throne is not a prize to be won—it is a curse. No monarch of Korvosa has died of old age, and none has produced an heir while ruling.
4708 AR, King Eodred Arabasti the II is murdered by his Queen Ileosa. She takes control of Korvosa and rules through duping a group of adventurers and the people of Korvosa by displacing the blame on an artist Trinia Sabor. After the adventurer’s cure Korvosa of a great plague, the queen reveals her true colors by placing quarantine on Old Korvosa and killing all oposition.
On the advised by Field Marshal Cressida Kroft the adventurers leave Korvosa before the Queen takes out her anger on them, they seek Vencarlo Orsini, and rescue him and Neolandus Kalepopolis the erstwhile seneschal of Korvosa from the Arkona Palace. The group ally with Lady Melyia Arkona a known Rakshasa against her brother Glorio Arkona (Bahor).
They find that the queen is possessed by the spirit of the Dragon Kozovan. They travel to the desert above the Starvall Plateau into the Cinderlands, where their heroic deeds earn the the right to be fully fledged Shoaunti, and learn how to defeat the queen. They travel to Scarwall Castle in Belkezen and with the aid of Laori Vaus a priestess of Zon Kuthon they find the Serenthal a weapon that eventually slays the evil Queen Ileosa, in spite of the Queen certain support from an Arch Duke of Hell Lorthact who the group discovered was supporting Queen Ileosa.
In this adventure one of the adventurer’s is to be king of a bankrupt Korvosa, with the support of the cities nobles the new king and his beautiful wife rule the ruined city that nearly was destroyed. They hope to make this once great Varisian jewel of a city vibrant again. The new king is a descendent of King Chadriss Portheria the III of Korvosa who ruled about a short while over fifty years ago. The new King and Queen were joined as man and wife earlier that year with the King’s family heirloom wedding bands of silver, which now he knows to belong to his grandsire.
Will the Curse of the Crimson Throne be broken at last? Will there be war or will there be peace? One thing is certain the new king would call on his friends if the need arose!
