'''Hwenua''' was a merchant and Vizier of [[Shallam]] during the reign of Sultan [[Petureceh]]. He wrote to his father, [[Relio]], about a conspiracy among the leadership of Shallam to rig the results of a referendum to rename the city after [[Shallai]], the child of Petureceh who died to a mysterious plague. When he confronted Petureceh with evidence of his misconduct, the paranoid Sultan denied all allegations. He suspiciously chose to replace members of his [[Paladins|Paladin]] guard with [[Syssin]] mercenaries, and Hwenua was devastated to discover days later that [[Molik]], the Registrar who had concealed the results of the referendum, was found dead and therefore unable to verify Hwenua's claims. | '''Hwenua''' was a merchant and Vizier of [[Shallam]] during the reign of Sultan [[Petureceh]].

Soon after, two of Hwenua's servants were imprisoned and tortured for information they might have against Hwenua, who the Sultan suspected was trying to overthrow him. Then Hwenua himself was arrested and accused of embezzling council funds and working with the [[orcs]] of the [[Siroccians]] to overthrow the council. | Soon after, two of Hwenua's servants were imprisoned and tortured for information they might have against Hwenua, who the Sultan suspected was trying to overthrow him. Then Hwenua himself was arrested and accused of embezzling council funds and working with the [[orcs]] of the [[Siroccians]] to overthrow the council. Not long after that, Hwenua's servant, Nordau, found him dead in his prison cell and the Sultan's men had the Vizier's body burned on a funeral pyre before any further investigation into the circumstances of his death could be made. | ||
