Chapter 21. Reign of The Shapeshifter King
The fortress of Edoc'sil was finally finished by the dwarves so Brenan had the dwarves build the city of Teil three mile south of the ruins of Teirm. He had Eragon coronate him and made all his titles official. Nobles from all over the world brought him gifts of gold, magical items, weapons, horses, food, jewels, and the seals of their houses.
Whispers flew through the crowd as the red eyed woman came bearing the sword of King Abernost. "My King may I present the sword of Abernost of the Broddering kingdom…"
"Your gift is welcome farseer, but I do not need Abernost's toy sword to rule and the broderring kingdom has passed so far from memory… but I will accept you gift…"
After the coronation Brenan began handing out estates and titles to those who had served him willing. Then he sat about writing laws for his subjects throughout the world.
The Will of Emperor Brenan:
All people at their sixteenth year of age shall present themselves for the lottery. Those chosen will serve as dark armor knight for a period of no less than twenty years. Any female chosen will be made a servant for life or a concubine until she is no longer desirable by the emperor.
All Dwarves shall remain in a state of slavery for the rest of their lives… No one but the Emperor may own slaves, be it man, woman, elf, dwarf, or urgal…
Anyone unable to pay their taxes shall reduced to an immediate state of slavery…
Only human slaves may earn their freedom in the arena
Anyone caught speaking or thinking against the Emperor shall be executed…
Anyone who brings information on rogue Elves, Dwarves, humans, or Urgals will be given titles and riches…
He wrote many more laws and abolished all laws in regards to the will of the Riders. Then Brenan demolished the academy of magic that had been built by Nausada and had his dwarf slaves build the Imeprial academy of magic. All students had to swear allegiance to the Emperor before attending the academy.
