 | | Until December 473, Araneth, King of the Western Kingdom and Protector of the Amber Throne was merely a Duke in the Kingdom of Man, a cousin to the King, and swore fealty to the Lord of the Amber Throne, who was recently assassinated. |
 | | The Duke of the Middle Kingdom and the Duke of the Eastern Kingdom, both related to the assassinated High King, laid clame to that Throne. |
 | | Duke Araneth, citing the conflict east of his borders, instead declared his Duchy, the Eastern Kingdom, to be now separated from the Kingdom of Man, and claimed the title King, as well as Protector of the Amber Throne. |
