Attempted Coup!
It would seem the political climate in the Country is not as stable as it was thought. Traveling across the country, Target Ruler was resting at a temple near his/her forces when the army's general saw an opportunity and surrounded the temple complex with his/her own forces, claiming that 'the enemy was inside'. Only the swift and decisive action of loyalist troops led to the timely rescue of the Ruler Title and the traitor's capture.
The general's motives are unclear, and he/she could well have been motivated by anything, from a desire for revenge to a blatant lust for power. The incident has reaffirmed Target Ruler's control over the troops, but the brief skirmish that erupted has cost the lives of many good men, and it is clear that a renewed focus will be required on internal politics to ensure that this does not occur again.
