Uhl is Dead. The First Minister of Iopos has died with no proclaimed heir. Spies and schemers orbit the presumed assassination, backed by those desperate to claim the Malachite Seat. Throughout Barsaive, events spiral out from this unexpected moment, calling out for heroes. Iopos rots from within and trustworthy resources are needed to infiltrate the Copper Branch of Councilor Plaza. Jerris senses weakness and agitates for their freedom. False identities, lies, and coercion lead Cara Fahd to the brink of war. Kratas is betrayed by their allies. The Great Dragons seek to ensure Iopos is unable to lay claim to an unstoppable weapon.
This sourcebook provides the information needed to run each of these events - whether separately or in an epic-style campaign that spans Western Barsaive. Additionally, this book fleshes out four locales you can use for further adventures: Councilor Plaza, a district in Iopos' Clansward; the citadels of occupied Jerris; the fishing village of Freewater on the border of Cara Fahd; and Kratas' port-city of Daiche. Can you influence who will ascend to Barsaive's Empty Thrones?
