Having come through insurrection raised by his half brother and establishing an alliance with the notable King Aman of Medera, Kaled continues to pursue a better future for Vasi-Kedar and his children. He prepares to sail to Tyria, the capitol city of Athesia and the trade center of the Common Market. He will attend the triennial Council of Kings as Aman's guest, while Hawke and Rhet's units will compete in the revered Triennial Games at the Arena. Bret, Jaret, and many other businessmen and craftsmen will represent Vasi-Kedar at the Trade Fair that runs simultaneously with the Council and the Games. It is Kaled's hope that he will be accepted as a Council member and Vasi-Kedar will become a chartered ally with the other realms of the Common Market, bringing trade opportunities to his people that will improve the overall economy of the realm. While preparations are made for departure, Kaled launches an innovative and impressive new warship that is sure to get much notice in Athesia, The first voyage of the Eagle's Talon will bring the Vasi into success and a better future for the realm and its people, or into failure and years more of struggles with poverty and death.
