"I will not have this from the Merchant Classes!" Governor Keil smashed his fist on the table of the Parliament.
"Summon the Troops to the Capital and Arrest the ring leaders." He was furious and a number of Senators agreed. The Majority who were representatives of the Guilds could only watch as the madman declared war on his people.
DM Breifng: The City of Jenka is brought to a standstill after the Guilds declare a strike because of an invasion by Foreign Merchant Houses. The city is brought to a standstill as ten thousand laborers march on the Republic Parliament in Protest only to be met by the few thousand Soldiers in the employ of the Government who until now were employed to defend the Republic's Borders.

"I want you to enter the Wildlands and find my Foolish Son and his Wife. I know they were in the City of Dogs in the North." The Mercenary grimaced. That was a pretty bad place to be even for a Mercenary.
" I will pay you ten thousand gold pieces for the return of them both." Thorvald nodded at the Offer. It was a good deal.
