The Warlord Council

Warlords' Meeting

Meeting of the season's warlords that Carl and Donut attend with Vinata as the raid quietly launches.

Story so far

While the four groups of Operation: Snake Pit went to work, Carl and Princess Donut went up to the Production Trailer to meet Princess Vinata and the other warlords for a meeting.

The timing was not accidental. Carl sat down opposite the sultana he had just committed to killing, at the precise moment Florin launched the northern push and Tran, Imani and the rest prepared to move. The council doubles as an alibi and a stage.

Role

Warlord gathering used as cover while Carl's raid begins.
