Ancient Data Scraps

Hi, this is Ironsight's player putting up the first of what I plan to be a number of little fragments that shed some light on some potentially important events of the fourth world. Without further ado, let the fun begin.

===============================================================

The data stick is ancient almost beyond imagining, and while it is physically intact, most of the data is corrupted beyond hope of deciphering. The following has been extracted, and the hope for more of any real meaning is minimal. Please note that the decrypted document has been cleaned up for legibility wherever possible and complete accuracy is not guaranteed.

He was a good man once, who ruled /00\ decades with a firm yet fair hand. None of that really matters now, not with regard to the memory of the people. My father will be remembered for what he became - the Mad King. Indulger of increasingly extreme appetites the likes of which will not bear mention in my journal. His mind eroded slowly at first, but by the end it was a spiral that threatened to pull the entire kingdom into ruin.

Now he is dead by the hand of ÿÿÿÿ and it's hard to believe he is gone. I suppose I should be angry if purely for the sake that he was my sire, and yet I cannot find it within me. I think because deep down I understand that it had to be done, that the innocent do not deserve the suffering that was being brought down upon their heads. Now it falls to me to set things right, and to honour the memory of what he had once been by restoring the kingdom to its proper glory. The coronation is tomorrow morning, and I will officially become Queen, though I wish it were otherwise.
