The **Wars of Frozen Flames** are a series of civil wars fought in the Koopa Kingdom during the late fifteenth century between the royal houses Kayenne and Sherbet for the Koopa Throne.

## Premise

After the defeat in the Hundred and Eight Years war, King John went to a shock and Lord Sigmund Phoenix takes over the council meeting until Lord Richard of Sherbert Land have him taken to the Blacktower, making himself King’s Claw. Then he, Tobias, and Rickon move to Bright Valley to do his duty as King’s Claw.

Then later in the next meeting, he notices the absence of Lord Symon Blackfoot and gives up the lands to pay off 72,000 coins in debt. After the meeting, he and the Pythons (Berwick, Torrence and Jorgon) of Lakeside goes to Sandcake Dunes to Blackfoot’s Castle goes to confront Lord Blackfoot and his sons about the ambush they pulled on Torrence during his wedding to Lady Stanford. When he declined to accept the terms of payment of 300 coins each, Richard has Ronnan, Hayez, and Sanderling send them to the Black Tower.

After those occurred, John has finally recovered and Godwin has hatched his egg. Then Queen Cynder, Lord Sylver, and Sir Theodrick told him what had happened while he was out of commission, the Queen told Theodrick (whom she had an affair with after Blayne Phoenix left for Karhar City) to take Rodrick and have Richard Koopa removed from office and taken to the Black Tower. After hearing the news about the King’s recovery, Lord Richard and Sir Edrick Greyford has been stopped by Rodrick and Theodrick. The Duke of Sherbert Land attacks to avoid the captivity as ordered by the Queen.

Then his sons, Tobias and Rickon went inside the Grand Goomba, where they started an interaction with Shane and Byron McQueen, before getting news about their father, but were too late to escape as they’re captured by Blayne and get held prisoners in the Black Tower. During the meeting, the Pythons were shocked to find out about that Sigmund was freed from the Black Tower. The King announced that Sigmund has been reinstated as the King’s Claw, the lands will be brought back from the throne, and he’s going to pardon the Blackfoots, He also mentions that Richard will be awaiting Judgement for his crimes. Which causes Lords Berwick and Torrence walk out of the meeting, losing support for the King. After Richard escaped, Lord Gaston Thornton (who’s a no show at the meeting) provided assistance to him. Then the Houses will call to show support for Richard as he was the one who helped them. Meanwhile the other Houses are siding with John and then the War has been Declared. After that, Lord Grant Garnet swore his allegiance to the Feeble King as he brought his wife, Anna Koopa (daughter of Richard) as captivity.

At Whomp City, Richard try to negotiate with John about in exchange for his children to be released from the Black Tower, John must give punishment to the advisors. Blayne literally burns the deal and the battle begins, where Sherbert Forces has the upper hand even though the mission is to rid of the Kings advisors. Even though, Kayenne forces are outnumbered, they fought has hard as they can while the King is under protection of Lords Sylver and Tybolt.

Richard gave a plan for Berwick to take care the king, while they focused on finding Sigmund (who’s been in hiding,) Then Thornton sets up an ambush wounding the allied forces of Kayenne, then Berwick has captured the King. After hearing about the King, Sigmund tried to retreat but then was stopped by Both Greyford (who he fatally wounded him) and Torrence. Then after the battle, Richard has executed Sigmund.

### Assembling the Allies

One Year after the battle, Lord Garnet gets taken to the Black Tower, Tobias, Rickon and Anna were released as well as Lord Richard returns his position as King's Claw to King John and Queen Cynder, but both sides in the same room are far from even then John end the meeting. While Cynder gives the maidens her children to watch the sword fight, Richard talks to the Queen as both sympazise with one another as they're talking aobut loosing their young children, then as Richard plans to take Godwin to Sherbert Land once the prince comes of age to rule for himself, as John couldn't and be married to Ursula, the Claw's own daughter. But the Queen refuses his offer as she doesn't want him to hand over her children in her clutches.

Although since the Valley is surrounded by the supporters of Sherbert Land, the Queen including Lord Blayne Phoenix plans to gather allies. As they go to the courtyard, the two went to talk to the now Lord Erik Bane, as he will avenge his fallen father after what Lord Richard had done to Hearld. As Erik is interested in her offer, Cynder orders him to gather his men as the forces will depart for Keyanne Crags the next day. After the Feeble King reads his children of how Baron Koopa became the King, Cynder manipulates John as she tells him that Richard is trying to take their son away to Sherbert Land as the Queen tells her husband that he cannot be trusted as well as the Sherbert allies. Cynder tells him that the people "said" that Lord Richard wished to be King as she thinks that Richard actually wanted to kill John to take the throne. After hearing what his wife says, John decides to move the council to Keyanne Kragg, his grandfather's ancestral seat. John sends a message to summon his supporters to Kayenne Castle in the Kraglands. As the council meeting between the Keyanne forces gets started, John has decreed that Lords Richard Koopa, Berwick Python, Ghaston Thornton, and others as traitors to the realm since, raised arms against the King at Whomp City, as he promised elemency to any Knight or Lord willing to come to the Kragg to answer for the crimes, but if those who don't will face the King's wrath. As the council will suggest the execution towards them, Lord Ironhide considers the King a merciful Punishment. After the council meeting, Ironhide got inside of the Queen's room through a secret passage as he informed Cynder about Richard marching into Skyland with 500 troops for more reinforcements and Berwick heading to Karhar City to wed Rob with the princess of Bohengunder. After getting info about Sherbert, Cynder awards Ironhide's brother as the Valley Watchmen commander. As the Pythons entered Karhar City to see the Duke of Bohnengunder, Lothar has been offer for Rob to wed his daughter with a barrel of wine and the gold from the Koopa Canyon mines, but he turned it down as the Princess has already been brotrohed by Lord Blayne. who had traveled from the Kragg to the City at night, as he offered the Duke more money and Cynder offered to relinquish the Guffawha Ruins to him.

As for Richard as he wanted to meet with his supporters, he discusses with the small group he trust that he needs to get more forces to join him. As Berwick pointed out that the Claw has four unmarried sons, he tells him that marriages can create alliances. He came up with plan as he holds Karhar City, that he'll go see Lord Lothar Von Burgunderbohne in Chucklechuck Garden and tells Richard to go to Skyland to get Lord Stumwolk's support. After the meeting, Lord Richard returns to Sherbert Land to arrange the marriage for both Robert and Halbert which the second born son approves his father's decision but the first born does not as he's already betroth to Lady Joanna Tyebolt, who he try to married in secret before Tulisa knows about it. As Richard tells his son that it's his duty to marry to continue the Sherbert bloodline, Rob gets on his mustie, Auror, to go to House Tyebolt to see Joanna before her mother Vanessa forbids him to see her as she arranged a marriage to Kylian Byrn, as he was force sent back home by her. As Richard entered Skyland, he and his son Hal, alongside Lord Greyford, went to see Sturmwolk if he chooses to support, as he doesn't do as he had trouble with the Korde family. After guessing a coward's training weapon correctly, Hal earned his blessings to wed one of the Lord's daughters, either Klaudia, Adelaide, Lunala or Alyssa. After seeing what they looking at their personality, he picks Lunala as her father offically to give support to the Sherbert forces.
