Saklan has heightened security amid funeral preparations for King Danewyr Gladfiolas, King of Saklan, Prince of the Free Province of Molisia, and Lord Protector of the Mistwood Forest. Danewyr, a revered figure who helped unify the nation in his 70-year reign, was 128 and is reported to have died peaceably in his bed.
The heir apparent and successor to the throne is Crown Prince Danel a man of some twenty-six years. Following the announcement of his father\"s death, Prince Danel appeared on the Public Portico of the Peoples Tower and waved to adoring onlookers and subjects who shouted, "Long Live the King!"
The Grand Court and Council of the King is presently led by Sanir, Master of Coin, who will hold the Scepter and Crown in trust, until Prince Danel undergoes investiture as King later this week.
