During the moment of heighted tensions between the Tycho I Etolarian colonists and the local Ta-Urach peoples, Eight rebels (the Ak-Kator), suspicious of local heroes move to block the exits at the Kataran Bazar. A Paladin named Aladar walks up to one to challenge their actions. Two additional rebels slip up behind the Paladin. Aladar attacks first and all hell breaks loose. This sparks a bloddy rebellion across the major towns of Tycho I.
