Attempted Coup!

It would seem the political climate in is not as stable as was thought. Traveling across the country, our ruler our ruler was resting at a temple near his forces when the army's general saw an opportunity and surrounded the temple complex with his forces, claiming that 'the enemy was inside'. Only the swift and decisive action of loyalist troops led to the timely rescue of the our ruler and the traitor's capture.\n\nThe general's motives are unclear, and he could well have been motivated by anything from a desire for revenge to a blatant lust for power. The incident has reaffirmed our ruler's control over the troops, however, the brief skirmish that erupted has cost the lives of many good men, and it is clear a renewed focus will be required on internal politics to ensure that this does not occur again.
