*waves* I have had a few requests to put a recap/summary together of events regarding what is referred to as “the Sultan” arc.

 

Here we go!

 

January 2020: Povras Sibrum, a sailor and crewmember to a merchant vessel was in route to Delucia, on the journey a small island was sighted in the distance. Curiosity got the better of Povras and the ship’s crew and they decided to explore…

On the island, a mysterious tomb was encountered. With most of the crew missing, Povras decided to head back to the ship and get help.  

 

Governors are attacked by mysterious assassins, who left rubies behind.

 

February 2020: What was left of Povras’s merchant ship washed ashore in Serpent’s Hold as he sought help. Unfortunately, he brought back an unknown illness with him which had drastic effects on the townsfolk of Serpent’s Hold.

March 2020: In an effort to identify what sort of disease or illness fell over the townsfolk of Serpent’s Hold, Povras delivers samples and remains of the infected townsfolk to Egoris Ishaan, a renowned alchemist residing in Moonglow. Perhaps Egoris would be able to find a cure, or a way to stop the spread of the disease?

April 2020: Egoris is murdered by a mysterious individual belonging to a Nujel’m noble family; Anumi Mazetti. Trinsic is also now dealing with the same disease and infection that Serpent’s Hold had. Rubies were discovered littered all throughout the area; a calling card of the Odello noble family in Nujel’m.

 

King Blackthorn places Povras in charge of investigating the Odellos in Nujel’m. An ill-fated inquisition leads to the slaughter of many Odello family members, in addition to the guards of Nujel’m.

 

Seeing this as an invasion of his sovereign territory, the Sultan of Nujel’m declares war on Britannia.

May 2020: “A Just Retaliation” The Sultan of Nujel’m attacks Vesper.

 

June 2020: Cove falls under the effects of the same illness that the townsfolk of Serpent’s Hold and Trinsic had. Evidence is seen that may implicate the Mazetti family of Nujel’m as being responsible for the illness in Trinsic and Cove.

 

The Sultan, King Blackthorn, Governors and Britannians try to reach a truce to end the war in lieu of a standard governor meeting.

 

July 2020: Moonglow seems to be under attack from the forces of Nujel’m; The ships were actually newly freed slaves and refugees from Nujel’m, who were promptly slaughtered by the Britannians.

This served as a diversion to the true attack happening in Skara Brae.
