CoupProconsul Zemfiri is conspiring with Consul Chroazov to eliminate Consul Javosequor and his loyalists when the Empress dies, setting up Zemfiri as Consul in Javosequor's stead and Chroazov as the new Regent. The third Consul, Orenin, is expected to remain neutral and side with the winner once the dust has cleared. Zemfiri knows enough about the Empire's secret history to have heard of the Fourth Founders and their various failed incursions, and wants to ally with them to eliminate her enemies. She intends to eliminate them as soon as they have outlived their usefulness. She is unaware of what a massive power they really are, and how difficult this is going to be. Some kind of pretext for going after Javosequor's military units? Manufactured evidence that he is planning a coup himself / allied with the Tribe / allied with the Hive? |
