Premise

The Supreme Chancellor has organized a highly public event. Athletes from across the entire Republic have gathered at the Colosseum in Port Kasiya. Intending to celebrate the great cooperation and peaceful coexistence of its members, the old Neti had the remains of the old bloodsports removed. The skull of the great Rancor that sadly perished when the Colosseum first fell into disuse, now decorates the observation box of the Taldryan Republic's government. A great festival, full of color, visitors from across the Republic....and even foreign dignitaries.

A truly perfect event to showcase the unity, cohesion, and grandeur of the Republic. Or the perfect time for secret meetings? Several shuttles, marked only with the sigil of the Brotherhood, and a few Royal Guardsmen have arrived. Dozens of luxury viewing boxes are set to permanent privacy mode, obscuring their occupants. Rumours abound of the Lord Third having had to bribe the military to ensure the martial law went his way. What else could be going on?

Your mission, if you chose to accept it, will be to find out what's going on?
