Camber in Revolt
Here are the recent records:
The party will encounter a number of troops. There is the original
group when the first troops arrived in Rock Haven.
The next they found occupying
the town of Scorch.
Then when they returned to
Rock Haven they found that there were more troops on the way.
They brought 2 Blue Dragons with them. One
is young - -The other is an
Ancient Dragon
The kingdom of Tarsis has been declining for many years under the
indifferent rulership of the Emperor.
Ptolus has considered splitting from the empire for some time now
and since Camber is even further from the capitol of Tarsis the
Overlord thinks he can split with impunity.
In addition to splitting from the Emperor, the Camber temple to
Lothian was closed up and the priests told to leave.
Barbarians from the distant east have defeated Tarsisan armies and
ransacked Tarsis itself.
The Emperor of the Church, now residing in Ptolus, claims to be the
only true ruler with the title Emperor.
For years Ptolus has been the only power in the region around the
HOS
At this point in his takeover the Overlord of Camber is indifferent
to issues in cities nearby. He is concerned that there might be
people loyal to the Emperor of Lothian, but knows there are to few
that matter who are loyal to the Emperor of Tarsis.
As part of the Empire of Tarsis, Ptolus has a Commissar who
acts as a regional governor: an administrator who manages the city
“in the Emperor’s stead.” Of course, the fact of the Empire’s slow
disintegration continues to threaten the position of the Commissar,
particularly out on the very edge of the Empire. Many think Ptolus
should be an independent city-state. The current Commissar is Igor
Urnst, a native of Tarsis who has lived in Ptolus and acted as its
administrator for eighteen years. Urnst remains quite popular among
Ptolusites; if the city did ever secede from the Empire, many would
want him to stay in his current position.
The Lothian Emperor will know of the split, but will spend days with
his advisers, spys and prayers trying to determine what to do about
it. He finally sends a message to his Temple leader in Ptolus to
send a delegation to Camber to demand him to return to the Empire
and threaten a war.
What happens next depends on the party. If they decide to ignore the
big issue, nothing much will happen overtly other than the loss of
their furniture. If they go to Camber or travel around they will
find increased lawlessness (robbers and petty tax collectors) but
not much else.
However if they decide to become involved Ptolus may send agents to
the cities around Camber to see if they would help in an effort to
go back to the empire.
The major changes have occurred in Camber where the freedom from the
Empire has made it an even more dangerous town as the Overlord is
interested in preventing a takeover from within and has lots of spys
and snitches around whispering both lies and truth to the city
Constabulary who don't need process of law to settle what they
perceive as a problem.
This is the detail of the troops that were in Rock Haven. Most of
them were killed in the battle for the town where they fled, but
some were tracked down from where they ran and hunted and killed.
3 of the lived. All of these were publicly executed.
