The Abdication of King T'Challa by Pedro Sketches
"You knelt as a princess. Rise as Queen N'Yami, Empress of the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda & ruler of our country."
Lore is long as shit - and unfortunately, a lot of what got written this weekend didn't get uploaded to the Wiki and I don't feel like rewriting it. Long story short:
- T'Challa and Ororo left Wakanda on some secret shit, making Princess N'Yami Queen Regent of Wakanda (a temp queen). By this time, both Turkana and Uzuri have abdicated (along with N'Dare cuz why-the-fuck-not), so that's why the third-born will eventually become queen.
- N'Yami's fuck-ass Nigandan fiancee, who has some very bad advisors, see this as a great time to overthrow Wakanda, rather than Zyad marrying N'Yami to join the two nations.
- A double agent reveals this information to N'Yami. The country has about an hour to prepare for the Nigandan invasion. What they don't know until later is that all the surrounding counties (Mohannda, Azania and Canaan) to attack from all sides; the Nigandan offense is to draw Wakanda's forces to their border, leaving the other borders unprotected.
- When this is finally realied (long story) N'Yami and her siblings make a pact that they will handle this in-house - no calling Mommy and Daddy and their Avengers/X-Buddies/etc. Wakanda will stand or fall tonight.
- With this, someone (I'm not sure yet - probably Uzuri) will fly on Razorbill to Switzerland and inform T'Challa and Ororo that their daughter has barred them from entering Wakanda until the battle is over, and that they will be arrested as invaders if they do not.
- The invasion fails miserably. It's so bad that T'Wari is nearly brought up on war crimes and a formal inquiry is held.
- Once the invasion over, T'Challa is called back to Wakanda to accept surrender terms - N'Yami cannot do this b/c she is not a sitting monarch, only a regent. T'Challa says "fuck that - I wasn't even there." He then tells N'Yami the real reason he and Ororo left Wakanda, admits his time as king is finished and that all he really wants in his twilight years is "to do science and Storm".
- T'Challa crowns N'Yami queen so that his children can accept the victory and begin a new era of Wakandan dominance.
That's a lot of back story, but...*shrug* Anyway, enjoy! If you have an X account, show Pedro some love - my account is shadowbanned to hell and T'Choro art is hardly ever seen.
