Sixth Month— Siccrem, Day 1
In the early measures of the morning, Light Tower Palace was in chaos.
Throughout the night, most people had not slept. Soldiers of the Sovereign Guard had been dispatched to the city to seal off the area of the burnt granary, under the Su'Adrit's orders. The Council of Eight had deliberated for the entire night.
When the lesser sun began to turn the sky a dull blue, Su'Datheram Derzev Hellfryne returned himself to his chambers to freshen up before morning court.
What had happened the evening before was something that had taken everyone by surprise. The granary had not only burnt down, but erupted into flames. There were countless injured in the city from the shrapnel that had been sent flying.
This clearly showed the premeditated aspect of this situation. The explosion of the granary was not only to shorten their food reserves, but to warn them of the greater things in store.
