And to add to Kassa's woes, everyone - from legendary royal champion and pin-up boy Aragon Silversword to the the Emperor Lady Talle - seems to be trying to find and claim the silver for themselves.-§-§-§-§-§-Liquid gold - the most seductively dangerous substance in the history of the cosmos - has just been discovered in the Mocklore Empire.
