===22nd May, 1511===
The family are in the Barkkarian Forest outside Abenkai with Jane & Yassi. Their camp is approached by Seb Sha'zhar, the Sha'zhar representative in Tal'Ushar that warned the family of the civil war.
Seb Sha'zhar says he found the family using a blood and hair sample from Sami when he was young, but this isn't an ability his family is going to share with any of the factions. Seb Sha'zhar explains that Yetel is a safe place in Akuba, that isn't part of the civil war. Seb Sha'zhar also adds the Unaligned families were pressured into voting for the deposement of the Haraziem Family from the Royal Position.
Seb Sha'zhar also gives Sami a Clairvoyance Spell, with the intention to update the map in the old Haraziem House in Tal'Ushar with current information so Sami can look in and see it. The Sha'zhar Family have taken control of the building since the town was taken over.
Seb Sha'zhar gives a overview of the Akuban Civil War. Fighting broke out in each city, but the Northern Block secured Zakot, Sairo, Unyaka. The Western Block secured Abenkai, Tal'Ushar, Eastern Block secured Aldir, Pike's Point. Yetel remained independent in the war. The siege of Sandashar lasted for a while, but eventually the Western Block broke the siege and won.
Sara gives Seb a blessing, then he leaves invisible.
