“Tusmit, it is I, Jadhim-Orem, Pasha of Tusmit whohas received the blessing of the Grand Mufti of theYatils and who pledged my loyalty to the HighCleric’s representative on Oerth, the Caliph ofEkbir. I have returned to reclaim that which ismine by the divine will of Al’Akbar, the HighCleric and Restorer of Righteousness. My exile hasended. The time of suffering is over.”The Sheik of Dihn, the two Qadi and all the elveskneel before the returned Pasha of Tusmit.The crowd of assembled nobles is split. Shouts of“Treason!” or “Death to the Usurper!” can be heard.Many noblemen leave the hall in disgust, but alarger number of them kneel in respect.Speaking to the assembled crowd, to the intentionof to the non-Tusmans, Jadhim-Orem says:“Tell Ekbir and to all of the Flanaess that Jadhim-Orem, legal Pasha of Tusmit has returned fromexile to reclaim his throne! Go tell the world thatthe Usurper Muammar Quaran is no longer themaster of Tusmit!”Turning towards you, Jadhim-Orem looks at each ofyou, his gaze piercing through you. “Listen to yourhearts, and choose wisely. I will not hold a grudgeagainst you for your actions past… Think ofTusmit, think of the future…”At this point, ask each PC from Tusmit in turn if theykneel or leave. If one hesitates or joins just because ofthe group, inform him that this is a personal decision.Split the party at this point. To those who side withJadhim, read them the Conclusion/Tusman Rebels. Tothose who refuse, read the Conclusion/Loyal to thePasha.PCs who choose to remain neutral are consideredopposed to both sides.ConclusionIf the PCs were recruited by the Qadi, and theybrought Jadhim to Dwur’Ayhand, then they are offeredJadhim’s belt of invisibility on the AR.If they escorted Jadhim into Dwur’Ayhand (eitherbecause they were hired by the Qadi or because theyjoined them on the road), they earn the Gratitude ofJadhim-Orem AR reward.If at any point, they attacked the Princess, Jadhim,Uyok or the Sheik of Dihn, they earn the Enmity ofJadhim-Orem on their AR.If the PCs went to the palace and sided with Jadhim,continue with Tusman Rebels. If they sided with thePasha, continue with Loyal to the Pasha, if theydecided to remain neutral, continue with Did notChoose. If the party didn’t enter the city with theprincess, continue with Failed.Tusman RebelsFor those PCs who chose to side with Jadhim-Orem,first begin by asking them who has a “Tusmit Loyalist”cert and void it out.Read or paraphrase.One all the disgruntled have left the great hall,Jadhim turns to the assembled crowd.“Within two years, two great injustices werecommitted: the fall of the Faris Rautha in 577 andthe Usurpation of the Tusman Throne in 579.Today, these two crimes are avenged! I declare thatthe Faris Rautha will receive aid and protection inTusmit, for they are valorous and innocent of thecrimes they are accused of.”Turning to the Sheik, Jadhim adds. “Omar, have thepreparations I asked been completed?”“Yes, replies the dwarf.”A group of servants enter the room with largemirrors covered by sheets. Removing the covers,images swirl into view. In one of the mirrors, theface of an elf appears into view while the othermirrors quickly focus to Baklunish humans ofmilitary background.“Your Exalted Splendor, we are happy to see youwell in Tusmit once more.” They all say in unison.For the next few hours, discussions rage aboutplans and Pasha Muammar Quaran’s reaction whenhe will learn of Jadhim’s return. Generals loyal toJadhim-Orem in Elisam, Dihn, Malimar and Farhinidiscuss military targets in the east, north and southof Tusmit. On more than one occasion, you areasked for details about things like garrison sizes orloyalty of people. Elohir explains that the Usurperhas received elven heads, because of his unholyalliance with the Black Knight.No one wants blood to flow, Jadhim-Orem repeatsmany times that the only person he wants hung fortreason is Muammar Quaran and his family.EKB5-06/TUS5-07 The Ekbirrian Job Page 32
The return of one of the Faris Rautha, if itconstitutes an event infinitely more discretecompared to the return of the former Pasha ofTusmit, bears its load of consequences for theCaliphate of Ekbir. The question of the legitimatepower in Dezbat may lead to a serious internal crisisin the Caliphate when the dark events of 577 arerevealed.A silence descends upon the room as the realizationof what just happened sinks in. A white flag withthree stars is hoisted atop the palace.
