Vote Outcome posted:
Envelope opened: -
N/A.
Resources and Stability change:
With only a 1 drop for Influence and with a +4 to Morale due to Momentum, the Stability marker has reached the top of the scale! This means King Harald V's reign has come to an end - his most powerful vassals, once thought of as allies, have taken the opportunity to capitalize on their newfound fame to force him to abdicate, and have someone of their own crowned King.
Chronicle stickers:
No changes.
The end of King Harald V's kingdom.
Now it's time to talk a bit about the scoring system - the very basics are simple:
- The House that has scored the most Agenda Points
is the winner for the current game, with everyone else following based on their score.
- Tied positions are always scored as if all the tied Houses have reached the same position (so two Houses tied for the 1st place are both 1st).
- No matter what, there is always at least 1 House that will score last and receive the corresponding score.
- The amount of Prestige Points
and/or Crave Points 
awarded to each House is different based not only on their position, but on what has triggered the end of the current king's reign, as per this table:
In this case, we're going to look at the middle column titled The King Abdicated > Stability at the top end of the track.
- To determine which House gets what, we have to calculate the Scores first

New King's reign - Setup posted:
First thing first, we're going to set the Chronicle Aging - this means that each Chronicle Sticker gets a checkmark ticked on its left side. This is a way to keep track of how long each sticker has been around - after the 3rd sticker has been placed on the same row, the new one will overwrite the oldest sticker (the one with the most checkmarks; the leftmost, in case of a tie).
Then, we apply Resource Legacy - we count the amount of positive/negative stickers for each Resource, and we move them up or down on the tracker according to this. NOTE: the facing for each token (black or white) is determined randomly at the start of the King's reign, and it's not influenced by their facing at the end of the previous kingdom; Momentum doesn't accrue during this phase (so if you have 3 negative stickers on the same Resource, you only move it 3 downwards). Also, the Stability tracker always starts in the middle spot.
Then, we apply Power Legacy - we check the signatures on the stickers attached to the Chronicle area of the Realm board. For each Positive sticker signed by a House, that House starts the next game with +1 Power; for each Negative sticker signed by a House, that House starts the next game with -1 Power (it may even happen that a House starts the game with no Power at all!). This has been updated in your House's sheet, in the Chronicle Legacy effects cell.
Then, we assign Open Agendas - we check the signatures on the stickers attached to the Chronicle area of the Realm board. The House who signed the most recent Positive Chronicle sticker for that Resource receives the corresponding Positive Open Agenda token; we repeat the process for Negative Agendas (a resource may grant both a Positive and a Negative agenda in case there are multiple stickers on the same Resource). These are the Open Agendas for now:
As long as a House has 1+ Open Agenda assigned, they will either receive extra points if their resource is the highest (3) or second highest (1) if the Agenda is Positive; or they will lose points if their resource is the lowest (3) or second lowest (1) in case of a Negative Agenda. Ties count as the same position for this.
Each House can only be assigned up to 2 Positive Open Agenda tokens and up to 2 Negative Open Agenda tokens during a single game. If a House is assigned more, at the end of this step, they must choose which 2 they want to keep, and discard the rest. The Open Agenda tokens discarded in this way are not assigned to any House during this game, and can be put back into the box.
