AD 2880, December 2nd
Western Star system, orbiting Both
11:21 AM
"Damn that upstart, damn the Eldergrain..."
"Milord?"
"I was not speaking to you. Is everyone in position? What of the target?"
A cruiser sat in the void and stared down at the dusty planet of Both. Its form was sleek and elegant, likewise the bridge and those manning it were noble and lavish. The man at the helm, Lord Silo Weihart of the noble Fillmore house of the very same name, looked to his subordinate grimly. "Yes sir," came his reply. "We've sent down the last MH and our scouts still have sir- the target's location locked down, milord." Weihart narrowed his eyes and turned to face Both in the ships view port. "Then prepare my Siren and fetch Celes." The crew member hurried off with a salute and left the Lord to stew in his silence.

Planet Both, Jastapo, west of the Kastenpo region
11:35 AM
While mysterious cloaked strangers are frankly almost daily occurrences on Both due to its ripe, or perhaps unripe, plains and wastelands well suited for the Joust, Pryam would have been blind to disregard the figures flanking out of the corner of his eyes, hiding within crowds, and not so subtlely bumping his shoulders in the dusty streets of Jastapo. In secret, Lord Weihart's men had effectively taken over the town, paying off local transports and strong arming local merchants into making sure the errant Fillmore knight stayed right where he was.
During one of the odd brushes in the bustling streets, a note was slipped into the knight's hands.

If you want to leave this planet-
Noon, the plains to the north.

The note bore the mark of house Weihart and its short statement was clear, Pryam's fate would be decided in the Joust.Noon, the plains to the north.
