Preservation of Beloved Katta

Preservation of Beloved Katta

For over half a century the Combine Loyalists of Katta Castrum have spent their lives protecting and preserving Imperator Tsaph Katta searching for ways to cure him of his illness. He has been held in secret from General Seru's prying and vengeful eyes since that day.

In his heart, Seru knew his plan to kill Tsaph had failed and so he wove a wicked tale that was spread quickly throughout the lands of Norrath suggesting Tsaph faked his own death in order to betray the empire. Seru swore to all he would not give up his chase of the traitorous Katta until his holy blade was wet with his blood.

The very day of Tsaph's poisoning during the first-ever Combine Summit held in Felwithe, the High Elves were able to put the dying leader of the empire into stasis and transport him to safety within a hidden chamber. Few noticed as there was panic among all the attendees as most of them had been poisoned too. Many died, but many were cured.

It was not long before Lcea Katta, Tsaph's closest advisor, who first urged the elves to save Tsaph, learned that the dire alchemical mixture given Tsaph was different than that given in the wine of the others. Clearly someone intended to cause panic and distrust among the Combine and Tsaph knew it to be Seru. A bard close to Lcea who served the goblets to all the guests noted that Seru refused his drink and was seen to smile oddly as Tsaph lifted his goblet during his toast of all toasts.
