Intelligence Extraordinary at Fort Chatham War Plot
From Utopia reports claim Chatamites bolster their party by joining the Butites and enrolling followers willing to obey orders blindly. Politicians predict overthrow before the 16th by Wouwbuinites and Stowites, who are enlisting new forces and desertions rise.
