Ever since Prince Joseph's Flotilla was caught in a zyclone, the Blue Palace has been ringing the bells of doom. The Lunatics believe the that the King's participation in the defence of the Madlands brought imbalance to Vestria and that something unholy was looming. Reconstruction efforts following the wake of Keheerathn I's reign has fallen behind schedule everywhere, so when the Lunatics punctuated the point, the King was forced to act. In 517, the Lunatics brought sixteen wagons of dead pearlfeathers to the Royal Diet hosted in Hollentor and let a blind old woman recite the Morning Hail backwards. Noone present had a good counter-argument and so the King appointed the Reikscalculator, Princess Destra to oversee the matter for the next five years. Logging activity in Austal tripled and work on restoring the capital intensified. Supplies and building material had also arrived from Khrom. All have high hopes, as second princess Destra was born under the sign of Saint Burtattle, Vestria's foremost steward.
