The estate and city of specularum(mirros) are subjected to earth tremors as the estate pulls free.
After the estate launches, the capital is left fifty feet above sea level on the newly formed Marilenev Escarpment with no port. The Highreach river now ends 7 miles north east as it pours over a 30 feet high waterfall into the sea.
Having spent 300,000,000gp of her own money over 10 years in employing Alphatian Wizards to turn her estate into a flying island, Lady magda Launches her estate.

I like flying Castles. And Lady Magda's huge Gothic Castle would make for an especially impressive one.
What is she up to with this?

Hopefully, she will now travel to the Serpent Peninsula and wipe out those self-centered little punks who live in their magical utopia in the middle of it. I hate them so much I can't even remember their name right
ORBITAL BOMBING IS KEY, MAGDA.
They descended into Castle Marilenev past the defences and guards.
King Stephan confronted the Lady Magda in the great hall of her castle. The Estate was now a shadow over Mirros.
Both sides surrounded by Alphatian Wizards, the enemies closed until the closeness was terrifying.
"Wretched Woman." Stephan karameikos struggled with the words. The strength was gone from him. and he fell.
Lady magda collapsed over King Stephan's Body. and began weeping.
"No! not like this. Give me back my family." The Lady Magda struggled to look away for help but it was not coming.
"Help Me." she screamed at the Alphatian Wizards around her.
The Kings Wizard looked at her.
"He is not young anymore, beloved Magda. The immortals of time come for him."
"Then give them to me that i may make us young again."
"No." The Aged Magda looked incensed at the words of the old wizard.
"Please." grief and anger consumed her.
The old wizard shook his head.
"It is all lost." The body of King Stephan and his wizard vanished leaving lady Magda to here despair. The Estate was all she would have to comfort her in these final months.
-An Account of the Death of King Stephan karameikos by Klardan the mage, Thaumont 15, AC1022
I love it! I'm not too hot onthe flying castle idea--it's a bit over-used, but definitely would make for a unique geographical feature.
As far as Stefan's death, I know it's against the Vault's fansite agreement of not killing off major characters--but since von Hendriks and Bargle left, he's not much of a major figure anymore after his antithesis is gone. And the best part, is it will plunge Karameikos into a Civil War between Adriana and Valen.

... you all are just humoring yellowdingo, right? Please tell me you're just humoring him. I'd hate to have to fill a bucketful of water to drown myself in.

Depends eldersphinx, if you live in Specularum after AC1022 you are going to need a rope at least sixty feet in length to get that water from the bottom of Marilenev Escarpment.

Oh, THAT's not a problem. Since Lady Magda's recently re-released some 15 million tons of gold back into the economy (for a cross-reference, Fort Knox holds somewhat less than 5,000 tons of gold bullion), the Karameikan economy's flush. I can buy rope, hire someone to draw it up from the sea for me, and even pay a cleric to raise me from the dead afterwards, without even needing to dig around under the couch cushions.
If, y'know, I actually lived in Karameikos. And couldn't be bothered to dip my bucket in the river, instead of the seashore. And if this 'Marlinev Escarpment' actually existed... which it doesn't.
Yarthmont 17: A report on the Queens Desk informs her that Bargle has control of the flying Estate. In a speech later that morning She informs all karamekian Citizens that Any who can take marilenev estate and Destroy Bargle (she finaly has someone to blame) will be granted the title of Count of Marilenev.
Fletcher reef is now an island of rock and dirt with ten thousand dead amongst the rubble.
