He must decide which will inherit the Enlightened Throne. However, their actions bring division to the Land of Fate, the eldest blinded by faith, the middle blinded by ambition, and the youngest blinded by love.Lost Scrolls of the LoregiversA shepherd’s daughter discovers a case of magic scrolls revealing a lost mandate of the Loregiver; her community decides to keep the knowledge to themselves until the caliphate is ready. The Grand Caliph’s eldest son travels to her remote village and proves himself worthy (albeit through trickery) to return with the scrolls which spark a great religious controversy. Sectarianism begins to splinter the once unified faith: Some interpret the scrolls one way, others a different way, and still others believe it is a deception.Civilizing the TribesA misguided plan is hatched by the Grand Caliph’s middle son to relocate desert tribes to the cities, and experimental attempts are made in remote internment camps. Resistance forms against attempts to “civilize” them, and the Ghost Tribe swells in numbers, leading raids and subverting “civilizing” camps. Rulers among both the cities and tribes are divided by the plan.The Looming Threat Abroad While few trust the emissaries from Akota, the Grand Caliph’s youngest son makes the mistake of falling in love with the Raja’s daughter. Desperate to consummate his love and win her as his bride, he begins taking military measures which exacerbate the already tense relations with Akota. His foolish actions could lead to war.The Shadow CaliphA bastard heir, raised in secrecy without the Grand Caliph’s knowledge, is groomed by nefarious allies to challenge the throne. However, falling out with erstwhile allies, the “Shadow Caliph” averts a bloody coup in favor of psychological warfare striking terror into the hearts of the caliphs with a cadre of holy slayers. The caliphs are divided on how to deal with the threat of terrorism – some crack down on “subversive” elements, others call to the Grand Caliph for protection, while others agree to negotiate with the Shadow Caliph.</blockquote>
