Some despicable coward sent a Seeking Arrow at our prophet, but a brave optio
threw himself in the path of the projective. His armour saved his life,
but he is gravely injured. His centuriae is clamoring for blood. The Empire of
Pythium is at war with no one, and has received no declaration of war this turn.

Now, there is an air nation that borders us, and they have not answered our
latest diplomatic overtures. The other air nation seems to be paralyzed by
internal strife and it would be rather strange if someone without a stake in
our neighborhood is wasting air gems shooting at us.

Thus, the Empire of Pythium is asking the leaders of Man:

Do you solemnly swear that no magician under your command fired that arrow?
Should we look elsewhere for our villain?
