The Mathosian Empire traditionally assigned younger princes the rule of prosperous Port Scion to pacify their desire for power and discourage possible coups. Who would have expected that Aedraxis, elder twin and king of Mathosia, would covet his brother Zareph’s riches and spark the Mathosian Civil War?

Aedraxis kept a war journal, hoping it would convince his subjects of the rightness of his cause. Yet as the war turned against him, he grew more and more erratic, eventually revealing the corruption that spurred his attack.
