Cycle of Stewards
The perpetual temporal rule of the Vaasi nation by a royal family ended centuries ago when the role of king was replaced by that of prince and steward. Since that change the patriarchs of five noble families each enjoy a four year term as temporal leader of the Vaasi nation according to a rotating schedule named the Cycle of Stewards. The choice, however, of the title "prince" and even more so of that of "steward" left open the possible return of a king who would be destined to reincarnate the glorious past of Eternal King Zaanji Højplads. Othmar Bolshnik, currently Prince of Nova Vaasa, seeks for himself Højplads's title. To this end he has broken the Cycle of Stewards, something that has been done before, although never for a complete cycle. Still there is little indication that he can win for himself and his nation glories worth speaking of and so hope to be the title's undisputed bearer. And even if he could, the Bolshnik family would be unwise to imagine that the other four of the Five Families would lie quiescent for long.
