Greatsword. Melee Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d6 + 5) slashing damage plus 9 (2d8) necrotic damage.
Royal Decree (Recharge 5–6). Each creature of the Regent’s choice within 60 feet that can hear it must succeed on a DC 17 Wisdom saving throw or be frightened for 1 minute. A frightened creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.

The Regent ruled for the rightful heir until the heir died, and then kept ruling. Its court is a city of ash where every citizen still bows, and its crown is the only thing in the kingdom that is still warm.
