[QUOTE="Stormonu, post: 5166308, member: 52734"] An easy answer would be the Tibbet are working for another lord who wants to put their own Emperor on the throne (someone who'd be more tolerate of the Tibbet than the current emperor - sorta like Scar & the Hyenas from Lion King). Likely, the lord called the PCs because he caught wind of the plot against the Emperor. From there, someone's got to replace the dead lord. If the lineage isn't clear (and why should it be when it can generate more adventures), the PCs might be courted by various factions within the household to support a certain member gaining control. Also, the death of this particular lord may spark some grudges among the others, who might seek to take advantage of the weakened lord's holdings, or cause family members who hold grudges against other lords to lash out wildly (and dangerously) accusing this lord or that of plotting the assassination. Of course, as things further develop, the characters will likely have to discover more about who planned the assassination, reveal the plotters and possible save the emperor themselves. This could be set against a rising tide of war started as the lords begin accusing each other of treachery and seek to avenge grudges - new and old. In the end, this could wind up being a simple plot by one lord to make a grab at the throne, the works of a secret rebellion or even the sly manipulations of a supernatural force - or even all three. Along the way, if the characters play their cards right, they may come into lands and holdings of their own and may have to prove themselves against others who would willingly add the character's wealth, land and peasants to their own.
