The Akamar Herald Year Six The Return of the Grand confederation

After being reduced to only the fortress of Sad Al Bari, Ken started to rebuild the Grand Confederation.   One of the cards he drew was the event The Assassin.   This card can only be used against individual political control cards not groups of people.  If the person who drew the card has the only individual political control card in play he must use it against himself.   Fortunately for Ken there were quite a few individual cards in play.  

THE AKAMAR HERALD 

KAELUM - COUNT CLANNANO POISONED

WHILE ATTENDING A BANQUET, COUNT CLANNANO WAS KILLED BY A RARE POISON.  HE HAD JUST BITTEN INTO A PRETZEL WHEN HE STARTED CHOKING.   ALTHOUGH A PHYSICIAN WAS AVAILABLE, THE DOCTOR WAS NOT ABLE TO SAVE THE COUNT.    AFTER INTENSIVE QUESTIONING OF THE CATERING STAFF, THE CITY GUARD WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT AN AGENT OF THE GRAND CONFEDERATION WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POISONING OF THE COUNT.   HOW THE AGENT WAS ABLE TO INFILTRATE THE BANQUET AND ONLY TARGET THE COUNT IS STILL A MYSTERY.

ORDER RESTORED IN HYDROS

FOR SOME TIME HYDROS HAS BEEN IN A STATE OF ANARCHY.   THE GRAND WIZIR HAS BEEN ABLE TO RESTORE ORDER IN THIS TROUBLED LAND.  HE HAS ALSO PROVIDED A SAFE HAVEN FOR REFUGEES FROM THE GRAND CONFEDERATION AND HAS VOWED TO RETURN THE CONFEDERATION TO ITS FORMER GREATNESS.
