	The queen failed to notice that her daughter the princess was an able [[manipulator]] in her own right. This princess, future Hive Queen and second darklord of the land, investigated dark forces to find a way to beat her mother at her own game.

	Prior to the year [[744 BC]], Timor was a large city of flowing, magnificent-looking [[architecture]] and pleasant fragrance of [[flower]]s and [[plant]]s. Despite the the gilded facade of paradise, Timor was was a bleak and fearful place at its core, oppressed by the gloom that blanketed the domain. Frightened by monsters from both above the surface and below, few people walked the lavish [[street]]s and [[park]]s of the domain. In addition to the [[marikith]] from below ground, a clan of [[doppelganger]]s infiltrated the human society above ground. Compared to the marikith, the doppelgangers represented a more subtle and cunning threat. The two forces engaged a hidden guerilla against each other. In the years since becoming a domain, the city's population fell from 30,000 strong to a mere fraction at 5,000. As the city's population plunged, the City Council of Timor decided, under the ~~idea~~ of [[Hemlest]], that they would push [[foreigner]]s to be sacrifices to the monsters below.<ref>IoT p. 52-54</ref>		Prior to the year [[744 BC]], Timor was a large city of flowing, magnificent-looking [[architecture]] and pleasant fragrance of [[flower]]s and [[plant]]s.
