Someone had recently attacked the worlds of Torpol and Clarke. The presence of pirates in these systems was not unusual in and of itself as the planets belonged on the same trade route and shipping raids were common enough, but this time the attackers had done something else: attacked the planet’s infrastructure itself. This was outside the standard pirate code of conduct, and as a result, the two planets had each offered a set of combined bounties of 2.5 MCr, more than even their very lucrative haul from the past session.

Princess Rao explained that along with the monetary benefits, there was something else at stake: Torpol and Clarke had once been subjects in the Kingdom of Drinax. If the players could act as heroes to the two worlds, it would help improve relations for when Drinax attempts to reestablish itself. The party was interested enough in the bounty and the opportunity, and eager to not be in Lady Aisha’s immediate sights, and agreed to investigate.

Clarke had once been a city with thriving technology, close to Drinax. However, they too had been ravaged in the fall of the kingdom, and the remainder of the technology had gone to the Keepers, a theocratic death cult who now ruled the planet. They had taken particular interest in Prince Harrick, Rao’s older brother and one time heir apparent, who had come down with a case of “only mostly dead” in the battle for Asim. He had not had fun storming that particular castle, and the technology and surgeries to restore him to something close to life had left him an imperfect imitation of what he had once been. However, with their fascination, the Keepers had already taken interest, and Rao had indicated that perhaps the party could use that to gain traction at some point. However, this was not needed as the party hailed the planet: the locals were eager to hear about a bounty hunter visiting.

The party was greeted by Keeper Malos, a cheerfully morose member of the order. He was happy to bring the perpetrators to justice, his face darkening when he recounted the attack. The pirates had violated a grim taboo during their attack planetside: final death. The local custom was that the local Keepers would use their technology to preserve people in their final moments before passing, keeping them for the prophesized Day Of He
