Upon her Death, Seven Letters were sent out, each a copy of the Last Will and Testament of Chaka Navere.
One Letter was for her Sister, Gia Navere. Another, her Niece, Anya Navere. One to each of her Sons, Sharaste and Veszirahc Navere. One to Thaylan Navere, One to Sydel Deathaze, and the last to Nautilous Deathaze.
I, Chaka Navere, Matron of House Navere, being of competent and sound mind, do hereby declare this to be my last will and testament and do hereby revoke any and all wills and codicils heretofore made jointly or severally by me. I further declare that this Last Will & Testament reflects my personal wishes without any undue influence whatsoever.
At the time of this Last Will & Testament, I am unmarried and have ruled my house alone. I have two male children who are listed as follows: Sharaste and Veszirahc Navere. Given that these are male children they can not rule and as such I have appointed Gia Navere, my younger sister as my Heir Apparent, and upon her death her daughter Anya Navere to rule in my house upon my death until such heirs have a daughter of their own and so on.
I hereby nominate and appoint Nautilous Deathaze as Executor/Personal Representative of this Last Will & Testament. Should the aforementioned individual be unavailable, unable or unwilling to serve as Executor/Personal Representative when needed, then I nominate and appoint Thaylan Navere as the alternate Executor/Personal Representative of this Last Will & Testament. Immediately following my death, the Executor/Personal Representative will be authorized to exercise all provisions of this Last Will & Testament and to use the assets from my estate to make necessary arrangements, without any unnecessary delay, for the payment of personal debts, obligations and funeral expenses.
In the event as I am the sole parent or legal guardian of my children at the time of my death, then I hereby nominate and appoint Gia Navere as legal guardian of my children. Should the aforementioned individual be unavailable, unable or unwilling to serve as legal guardian when needed, then I nominate and appoint Nautilous Deathaze as the alternate legal guardian of my children.
After payment of all of personal debts, expenses and liabilities, I request and direct that my property be bequeathed as follows:
I give, devise and bequeath all of the remaining and residual property I have ownership in at the time of my death, whether real property, personal property or both, of whatever kind and wherever situated to Gia Navere, absolutely and entirely. Should Gia Navere not be living, then I give, devise and bequeath all of the remaining and residual property I have ownership in at the time of my death, whether real property, personal property or both, of whatever kind and wherever situated to Anya Navere absolutely and entirely.
I ask that my original House be allowed to pass to my sons, whom ever marries first and for their wife to become Matron of the estate, bequeathing the larger though long neglected True Seat of House Navare to my Younger Sister, Gia Navere to Rule as her own House once more. All costs to clean up, repair, and maintain the aforementioned house will come from the hidden stores of financial properties I have held hidden since the death of our mother. Nautilous Deathaze is the only living soul upon my death who is aware of this estates Location as well as the secret stores of treasure. It is my wish that he assist Gia Navere and her child in locating them and seeing they are put to good use.
Any other items that I have not listed above may be split between those whom I have included in my will. If such individuals do not desire what is left, I ask they be given to my sons so they might come with gifts to their wives and the families thereof.
Such is the End of I, Chaka Navere, Last Will and Testament.
On the back of a few of these wills were small letters, a few lines for some, a bit more for others... Things written perhaps in her last days?...
On Gia's:
Dear Little Sister,
By now I should like to think I am dead, hopefully at your hands if I have been able to achieve my end goal, and if not... Then I hope it was done before the change overcame me. I'm sure you have a lot of questions and now that I'm gone, well, I can't really know which one's you'll ask but I can guess... The truth is I love you, my precious little sister, and I always will. I know you might not think so now, especially if I was able to do what I wished, which was to ensure my death was at your hands. Cruel, I know, but I promise I did it with the best of intentions...
As you know I have only had boys and that's not something a Matron is supposed to do. In my desperation I went to a Pristess of Lolth and began my trials in hope I would earn her favor and therefor, with any luck, be able to have a daughter of my own. It all seemed to be going well at first but when your house fell and you came to stay with me, Lolth sent me a sign, a spider had crept up your arm and burried itself in your hair. You know, as well as I do, what that meant... Lolth had wished for me to kill you and little Gia... I couldn't do it... As such, I failed my trails and you know just as well as I do what that means, the fate of the Drider was looming over me.
Rather than tell you and have you think this was your fault, I felt it was much better for you to hate me, to despise me because hate is so much better than greif or guilt. True, I'm probably undoing all of that right now in telling you the why, but I knew you'd have many questions once this will was released and I don't want you to spend your life wondering. To be honest... I am so glad it was you who killed me if this is the case. I should have been a better sister, I should have been stronger, someone you could have leaned on more. I felt like such a failure for so many years, seeing all the things you had to take on for the family name because I wasn't up to it... Oh, Gia, mother was SO proud of you... Of all of us but you... You were her starshine... Her favorite... Mine too...
At the end of this I hope you find happiness Gia, I really do... Take the throne of Mothers old Territory, it's been long forgotten but it's strong and the land is good, there'splenty of resources for you to build again with Thaylan... Yes, I know about you two, I know what it's like to mourn for a lover and how it is to mourn for a sibling. While I don't agree with it, Love is a rare and mysterious thing, virtually unheard of to our kind. If you love him, truly love him? Then do it... Give him a different last name, mother had a brother who had plenty of sons of his own, Thaylan would become your cousin and not your brother... I've left some papers behind with our family tree so you can proceed as you wish.
I know I can't really explain everything, there's a lot of horrible things I did, things you can't ever forgive me for... For that I am so sorry, the trials of Lolth are not kind, I hope you understand that... All the pain I ever caused you in these last years since my second son... I did them because I was desperate for a daughter... To do something right for once but... I even failed in that...
Please Forgive me Gia...
Your Sister, Cha-Cha
To Nautilous Deathaze:
I have no kind words for you and I'm sure you do not mourn for my passing. This letter is simply to free you from the spellus I put on you when you were but a youth at that whore house on the surface. As you read this the bindings will be lose and you can not be held again as you once were. A final act that I hope resolves our war and brings you peace. I've put you in charge of distributing things in case Gia is too emotionally bruised to handle it on her own. Call it my last chore for you before you're forever out from under my thumb.
If it is any consolation I did not hate you. I was simply enraged that not only would you not love me but you wouldn't give me a daughter. You were quite the stubborn son of a bitch, head over ass in love with Sydel and yes, I was insanely jealous and hurt you for it. I can't say I regret it, in the end you've married and made a very good life for yourself, much better than I. Savor it because Love is a damned rare and fragile thing, if you ignore it, it will die. Don't let it die, you blond fucking idiot.
-Chaka.
To Anya:
Little Anya,
Watching you grow has been a source of Joy in my life and I do wish you every blessing and happiness my little mushroom. I hope I have been a good enough aunt in my life that you have more good memories of me than bad ones. Do not settle down so quickly, with my death I have given you a lot more freedom than I could in life, so go out there... Travel, explore, find something wonderful to change your life... And, when you come back after you've seen the world, I ask... If you are of a mind... To look at perhaps marrying one of my sons, your cousins. They've been better brought up and loved than any other male drow and I happen to think they're quite handsome. They each have their own strengths and assets and either one would make you a superb husband and give you many, many daughters. This is just a request, little mushroom, you need not take it up but... Do give it some throughts during these next few years as you let yourself go a little wild and have a good deal of fun.
I love you very much,
Auntie C
