The Tainting of an Empire
Tsaph Katta, Imperator of the troubled Combine, was holding a grand state banquet.
Almost all nations and tribes were in attendance. The dwarven, gnomish and elven allies had ambassadors on hand as did the belligerent Tier'dal. Even the ogres and trolls were represented. All who received an invitation felt compelled to attend, such was the power and might of the Combine.
As the guests entered the banquet hall, Katta was there to receive them. One guest came with a smile on his lips and poison in his hand. He had dusted his glove with empolomine, a slow-killing, hallucination-inducing drug. This guest extended his hand as Tsaph welcomed him to the banquet. With this handshake, the fate of the Combine was changed.
The Vigil Katta’s reaction was more rapid and violent than most and he col-
lapsed during the dinner, appearing as one possessed. Possessed by evil, some muttered.
