Emperor Aliowaki has ordered the Bolitic Confederacy to give Windscorpion a wide berth after the Apogee Of Man, on his mission to find the New Cross, has caused the downfall of a couple of Houses. Barons Reigan and Pendleman were both killed in the battle of Smolask when they tried to destroy Windy.
The House Of Pendleman has been taken over by Sir Melson and is now the House Of Melson though has been badly weakened by battle losses. Reigan's House as yet has no new master because virtually all of it's strength was lost in the battle against the DDS, it is likely the House will be disbanded. Although both were only medium-ranking in the Confederacy the upheaval caused by the scramble to grab lost lands and resources has seen no less than 16 conflicts break out between various Houses. Aliowaki, who it is thought wants to end inter-House conflict so the Bolitic can concentrate their forces for a new war against the Dinos, has ordered all Bolitic to avoid further battles against the DDS and to rein in their inter-House rivalry. Of course the Emperor saying it is one thing, the Bolitic actually obeying is another.
