Warlords: Strategic Conquest

Before you depart for a meeting with Lord Kahn, you hear some stunning news. Commander Wan, a warlord in central China, was killed in a tent fire. While Wan and most of his guards were sleeping, a blaze began in his sleeping tent, which eventually engulfed the entire compound. Wan and his best officers all perished in the fire and without its leader his territory will inevitably be divided amongst neighboring warlords. The only clue indicating who was responsible is a pictograph of an eight-point star, engraved on a charred scrap of iron left behind at the scene. Nervousness sweeps through China as no one has any idea who is behind it, and you do not feel safe either not knowing who did it.

The day finally arrives when you meet Lord Kahn. You enter his war tent. The Lord is sitting behind a wooden table. He beckons for you to sit down across from him.

Lord Kahn sits rigidly on his throne dressed in full armor. He has the stern face of a man who does not tolerate nonsense. He directs a hierarchal system of government and is known as a staunch supporter of militant values, such as might and honor.

Lord Kahn's lips are tight. He stares you straight in the eye.
