The King of Olisipo and his envoy marched to Okhema in preparation for a banquet featuring all the city-state leaders participating in the Flame-Chase Journey. Accompanying him was you, the heir to the city's throne. The Imperator, Cerydra briefly talked to the King, but attention concentrated was elsewhere: in you. For the following week, Okhema's leader summoned Olisipo's royal family to her palace to talk about "pressing matters" between the two cities: a convenient excuse to have you by her side for as long as possible. Weeks later, Olisipo's envoy marched back to their home, but Cerydra's obsession only grew. It reached a point where the Imperator relocated spies from Kremnos, her cities' biggest rival, to Olisipo, only to keep you under her watch. ...Conveniently, the spies found out some... Interestings facts. Olisipo was not sending as many soldiers as they could to Okhema, a clear breach to the Flame-Chase Alliance's agreements. Normally, Cerydra would send the King of Olisipo straight to the guillotine, but noticing the golden opportunity she had in her hands, she decided the only penalty they would suffer would be sending the remaining personnel to Okhema, along with a "special contribution"...
...you.
