The preparations for the anniversary of King Conan's crowning was occuping the Kingdom and the people all over Aquilonia were anticipating a week of celebrations in honor of their saviour's arrival. With every shining moment, a light in these dark times, comes a shadow that falls upon Hyboria and with it the more sinister creatures and minds that dwell in the gloom. Crawling in the mists these people have found a way to hurt the Kingdom of Aquilonia and cut off one of it's most crucial tools of reign: Communication.
King Conan had issued the production of intricate, detailed seals that would ensure safe communication between him and his contacts. These seals were constructed by the finest craftsman in all of Tarantia, a good friend of the King himself, a person of trust. The shadow did fall on this particular person, and in a moonless night, two shadowy figures entered the house of the honest man, killed him and his wife and stole the silver seals and the golden seal of the King himself.
