Sins of the Alabaster Hand

Answering Prompt: Defile
The throne of Aurel was held by the Arsaces Family for almost as long as the Alabaster Hand existed, this line of rule only ending when the Hand stepped into the role of judge, jury, and executioner. With claims that the monarchy had defiled the throne, accusations of the late queen consorting with dark forces, and warnings of imminent judgment by the gods themselves, the Hand enacted the deposition of the monarchy in a hall crowded with subjects who once claimed they would sacrifice all in the Arsaces name.
  This article still has a long way to go before it's up to my new standards, but it's at least got some of the dust brushed off now! With some updated information and new sections, I can at least say that there's no weird inaccurate info in here anymore!   It's going on the list for article overhauls, one hundred percent! I have a lot of stuff I could write about these guys and what they're up to, but that's set for later, when I have more time to get lost in the sauce of writing!
