Product Information

Leaving Livadia on 7 November, Tsar Alexander's funeral procession—which included Nicholas's maternal aunt through marriage and paternal first cousin once removed Queen Olga of Greece, and the Prince and Princess of Wales—arrived in Moscow. Other guests included Queen Victoria, Kaiser Wilhelm II, the Empress Frederick (Kaiser Wilhelm's mother and Queen Victoria's eldest daughter), Nicholas's uncle, the Prince of Wales, and the bride's parents, the Duke and Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Finally informed by the Prefect of Police that he lacked the men to pluck Gapon from among his followers and place him under arrest, the newly appointed Minister of the Interior, Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky, and his colleagues decided to bring additional troops to reinforce the city. But the ministers, instead of acting with quick decision, only assemble in council like a lot of frightened hens and cackle about providing united ministerial action.

The skaa population reacts to his death by rising up and overthrowing the city with the help of Kelsier's army. While Alexandra enjoyed her reunion with her grandmother, Nicholas complained in a letter to his mother about being forced to go shooting with his uncle, the Prince of Wales, in bad weather, and was suffering from a bad toothache.Ten days later, Alexander III died at the age of forty-nine, leaving twenty-six-year-old Nicholas as Emperor of Russia. Nicholas had been repeatedly warned about the destructive influence of Rasputin but had failed to remove him. In October 2016, the rights to the entire Cosmere universe, including the Mistborn series, were licensed by DMG Entertainment. In 1917 he went on a five-week trip to Germany, accompanied by his aide-de-camp, Mustafa Kemal Pasha (Atatürk).

Mehmed VI's reign began with the Ottoman Empire suffering defeat with the conclusion of World War I and signing the Armistice of Mudros, resulting in the legal occupation of Istanbul and many illegal occupations in many other parts of the empire. Kelsier encourages Marsh to rejoin the rebellion and aid them by infiltrating the Canton of Inquisition. Before the Japanese attack on Port Arthur, Nicholas held firm to the belief that there would be no war. Instead he is responsible for organizing the crew and taking care of contacting other crews for help.

Along with being present at the christening, Nicholas and Alix were listed among the child's godparents.
