	Few can really say they saw the coup coming. Three weeks before the Summer Solstice, the Lady of the Five Winds was challenged and deposed by the Ganbatar merchant family. The head of the family - Tchinua Ganbatar - has taken the Seat of Five Winds. They have eschewed both the titles of Lord and Lady, and chosen the less commonly used title of ''Liege of the Five Winds''. It's too soon to say exactly what this change in the Court portends for the Empire. There is some information available to the Empire. The newly appointed Faraden ambassador to the Empire - Arban Tuvalk - has arrived at the [[Segura#The_Faraden_Embassy\|embassy]] in [[Segura]] with letters from the new Liege. It seems ''Lady Saretta of the Red Moon'' has been replaced as the primary diplomatic advisor to the Court of the Five Winds by ''Mistress Singua Karadragha''. She intends to send a diplomatic envoy to the Empire during the Autumn Equinox empowered to negotiate on behalf of the Court of Five Winds to properly discuss the Liberty Pact, the cessation of [[sanctions]] against Faraden merchants, and Imperial attitudes to the religious beliefs of Faraden visiting the Empire.		Few can really say they saw the coup coming. Three weeks before the Summer Solstice, the Lady of the Five Winds was challenged and deposed by the Ganbatar merchant family. The head of the family - Tchinua Ganbatar - has taken the Seat of Five Winds.

It's too soon to say exactly what this change in the Court portends for the Empire. There is some information available to the Empire. The newly appointed Faraden ambassador to the Empire - Arban Tuvalk - has arrived at the [[Segura#The_Faraden_Embassy\|embassy]] in [[Segura]] with letters from the new Liege. It seems ''Lady Saretta of the Red Moon'' has been replaced as the primary diplomatic advisor to the Court of the Five Winds by ''Mistress Singua Karadragha''. She intends to send a diplomatic envoy to the Empire during the Autumn Equinox empowered to negotiate on behalf of the Court of Five Winds to properly discuss the Liberty Pact, the cessation of [[sanctions]] against Faraden merchants, and Imperial attitudes to the religious beliefs of Faraden visiting the Empire.

	By all accounts the coup was almost entirely bloodless, and backed by a significant majority of families - including the influential Tuvalk, Karadragha, and Gantulga. Repeated failures of the Court of the Five Winds to resolve the diplomatic situation with the Empire were cited by supporters of the coup, with the final straws being the loss of Moonwater Hall and the reckless actions of the Modnos. The main opposition has come from the anti-Imperial faction ~~lead~~ by the Ogudai, the Tsagaan, and the Modnos. Through a combination of intrigue, diplomacy, and outright bribes it seems their wider support has been scythed away leaving the families with little choice but to tow the line the new Liege of the Five Winds has laid down. The Ogudai in particular have suffered considerable loss of status - skewered by Liege Ganbatar for their ill-considered vendetta against a nation that has shown willingness to support the Faraden military against the Jotun and Lasambrian orcs in the past.

	It appears the Ganbatar coup has been successful in part due to the support of a number of Faraden's priestly families. While the Imperial Synod arguably focuses much of its attention on the blasphemy of Justice, or the heresy of denying Vigilance, Wisdom, and Ambition, it is easy to forget that there is a great deal more to the Faraden religion than this. It seems that some of the priestly families have taken a similar stance - chastising families such as the Tsagaan for focusing overmuch on a single aspect of the faith. While Faraden are encouraged to seek justice, they are also encouraged to be proud, courageous, loyal, and prosperous. There is apparently anger among many Faraden priests that so many Faraden missionaries have emphasised a single aspect of the faith over all others, and in doing so arguably undercut the prosperous and the proud citizens of the nation in pursuit of some ideologically motivated desire to "convert" the Empire. ''"We do not want their priests to come here and tell us we are wrong,"'' the head of the Entalamanta family is reported to have said. ''"Why should we imagine they would welcome us going to their Empire and telling them ''they'' are wrong?"''

	Six weeks after the demolition of Moonwater Hall, there are two major incidents that are quickly traced to Faraden arsonists. In [[the League]] city of [[Tassato]] the [[Tassato#The_Blood_Red_River_Museum\|Blood Red River Museum]] is badly damaged, while on the opposite side of the Empire in [[Redoubt]], the Spider's Vantage Spire is nearly gutted by a conflagration that destroys their printing press and warehouses. There is, fortunately, no loss of life. The museum was fired during the night, and the only injuries were smoke inhalation and some burns among the patrolling guards. Likewise the attack on Spider's Vantage took place while the spiremates were sharing a large communal meal with the Faraden merchants visiting their spire. While they initially appear unrelated, it quickly becomes clear that the fires were set by members of the Modnos family as part of their ongoing vendetta against certain Imperial citizens.

	Spider's Vantage is a ~~Spire~~ in Redoubt concerned with writing and publishing books. The fire took place while most of the inhabitants were at a large communal meal with a group of visiting Faraden merchants - a caravan from Moonwater Hall that had endured the long journey to the south-eastern corner of the Empire in search of magical goods, fine silks, and iridescent gloaming. They were visiting Spider's Vantage with an eye towards securing "exotic" Imperial writings to sell to collectors back in Faraden. It seems that most of the merchants involved were as oblivious to the arsonist's plan as their hosts - indeed several of them sustained serious burns helping the Urizen to fight the flames. When the truth came out - that the Modnos agents had used their journey to Urizen to provide cover for their attack - most appeared genuinely horrified.

	The damage to the printing press and the warehouses at Spider's Vantage Spire has brought the [[Seer_of_the_Gateway#Publication\|publication]] of ''Echoes of the Labyrinth'' to a grinding halt. Currently the Imperial Senate pays 10 Thrones each season to allow the torchbearers of Spider's Vantage to publish and distribute these volumes detailing the past life visions of Imperial citizens not only across the Empire but throughout the known world. Without their presses, the torchbearers are unable to keep up their obligation to do so.

	During the Spring Equinox the Imperial Senate chose to abrogate [[Upwold#Moonwater_Hall_.28ruins.29\|Moonwater Hall]] in [[Upwold]]. [[Construct_trade_hub_in_Upwold\|Constructed]] in Summer 381YE, the hall served as a trade nexus for Faraden merchants keen to purchase [[the Marches\|Marcher]] food and drink, and provided a home base for them to explore trade links with the western Imperial nations. Allegedly without any word of warning, the trade hub ~~has~~ closed by the ~~empire~~. The Faraden merchants were very much taken by surprise - there was a great deal of unhappiness but little they could do in the face of the magistrates and Marcher militia. They requested a week to put their affairs in order, which was duly granted by the magistrate as a show of good faith. A small number of Faraden have remained in the vicinity to ensure that the returning merchants already busy in the western Empire are informed what has happened and that they are effectively no longer welcome in the Empire.

	In keeping with the abrogation, most of the buildings that made up Moonwater Hall have now been torn down, leaving nowhere for the Faraden to congregate. The merchants who had been living in and trading from the Hall are not shy about expressing their unhappiness with the way they have been treated. Their Pride has been affronted. Dealing with them so summarily, rather than making any effort to discuss whatever problems it was they had with Moonwater Hall, reinforces their perception that the Empire treats the western nation with contempt.

The Tsagaan family priests swore to exact revenge against those responsible for the execution of the Honradez sisters of the Brass Coast after they converted to the blasphemous practices of vengeance.
