Radomix Kistomerces becomes Overlord of Lankhmar

Political event

Radomix takes over the throne from his cousin, Glipkerio Kistomerces.

In a tale of intrigue and power, Radomix Kistomerces-Null, a notable cat enthusiast and cousin of Glipkerio, craftily ascended to the throne. Glipkerio, preoccupied with torturing Reetha and dealing with the rat uprising, failed to notice Radomix's machinations. Radomix, initially perceived as a pacifist or coward, cleverly retreated to the slums, where he garnered support from unlikely allies.   The Gray Mouser, caught in his own adventures amidst the rat-controlled streets, inadvertently contributed to Radomix's rise. Encountering intelligent rats and navigating the perilous streets at night, he found himself in various predicaments, from encountering Frix and Hisvet to escaping a rat militia.   Fafhrd, another key player, journeyed to Ningauble, stirring trouble in Ilthmar. His path eventually led him to Lankhmar, where his actions would unknowingly aid Radomix's cause.   Glipkerio, distracted by his darker passions and a council meeting, overlooked the growing threat from Radomix. His preoccupation with Reetha's punishment and the impending rat attack left him vulnerable to internal political shifts.   As the Gray Mouser infiltrated the palace, attempting to rescue Reetha, he found himself in a series of misadventures, including a dramatic encounter in the cellar and a transformation to rat size.   Meanwhile, Radomix's influence grew in the shadows. His actions, although less conspicuous than the exploits of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, were steadily undermining Glipkerio's authority. The palace's internal strife and the external threat of the rat uprising created the perfect storm for Radomix to seize power.   Fafhrd's ringing of the temple bell and the ensuing chaos with The Gods of Lankhmar further distracted from Radomix's quiet coup. As the city grappled with the rat invasion and internal conflicts, Radomix found his moment to strike.   In the climactic showdown, as the palace was embroiled in conflict and Glipkerio fled, Radomix stepped in. With strategic alliances formed in the slums and a keen understanding of the palace's vulnerabilities, he declared himself Overlord. The chaos that had enveloped Lankhmar provided the perfect cover for his ascension, and with Glipkerio's departure, Radomix's rule was solidified. The black kitten, now a War Cat, symbolized the new era under Radomix's reign, marking a significant shift in the power dynamics of Lankhmar.
