[SJ]  @The mage Nimone, sometimes known as Lady 
Chaos, arranges the Betrayal of Astrylon.  At the 
behest of Nimone, the merchant world of Astrylon 
forms an alliance with three other merchant 
worlds against its hated rival, Barrara.  She has 
in fact arranged an alliance between Barrara and 
the three merchant worlds, when the galleons of 
the Order of the White Plume (a knightly ordered 
devoted to the defense of Astrylon) arrive at the 
rendezvous point they are destroyed by the 
Barrarans and their allies.  The Doge of Astrylon 
dies when he hears of the defeat, and Astrylon’s 
Diet of Elders is forced to elect a weakling in 
his place.  Astrylon becomes a client state of 
Barrara.  The former leader of the Order of the 
White Plume, Sir Giles Warwick, escapes the 
slaughter and is rescued by pirates.
