The expedition heads to Craunia, seat of House Sern and Umbrolio's ancestral home. They come to negotiate a deal with the Whole Prince of House Sern, in an effort to obtain farmers and bureaucrats to teach the people of Nagalisitu about economics and money. Unfortunately, the Whole Prince is very intent on doing colonialism and extracting every bit of wealth Nagalisitu has to offer House Sern, while keeping them poor and unknowledgeable and, of course, easily controllable. Have the party bitten off more than they can chew?
