Issue Number 1, THE EIGHTH YEAR OF EMPIRE

SAURIAN AMBASSADOR ASSASSINATED!

Sources inside the High-Elven city of Althuain have reported that the Saurian ambassador from Lustria to the elven high state of Ulthuan has been slain.

The incident took place as the Saurian Ambassador Sluur’alzzz was entering the palace on urgent business. Several cloaked elven warriors appeared, and slew the retainers from Lustria before brutally executing Sluur’alzzz. The assassins disappeared into the shadows before the royal guard could apprehend them. Although it is not clear what the motive of the attack was, many believe that the recent overtures toward reuniting the elven nation states has much to do with the reason for the Lustrian presence in Ulthuan.

In the Empire, many believe that the Saurians were attempting to form an alliance with the Elven nations in order to move against the divine right of the Empire to rule itself and to live in peace, and create a world power to rival that of Chaos itself. Sources close to both the Empire and the Dwarven Kingdoms have indicated that both parties are considering direct action against the perceived threat of the Elven nations uniting under the banner of the Old World:

“Those nations of the world that believe themselves to be superior, do so at their own risk,” said Arch-Deacon Edderich, “the Might of the Empire and it’s allies will not tolerate such an obvious attempt at subterfuge, and will do the utmost to protect that which we have fought and paid so dearly for already.”

Clearly, this has become a turning point in relations with the Old World, and we will follow the events closely as they develop.
