Tragedy has struck the nation of Kefeon with the death of the High Lord XVI. After injuries in the battle of Stannum, combined with their previous sickness, it was clear that they would not live long After the battle of Stannum, the High Lord's host perished but the High Lord managed to evacuate it and take another host but had suffered injuries to their actual physical form, which would eventually prove fatal. They were cremated upon the capital world of Electrum, a brief period of mourning occured before the coalition of the willing totally collapsed and the major lords began infighting for who would become the next high lord as always. However. The High Lord's death had come at the worst time, the Ke'Fron would lead the united front on a grand offensive into the former high lrod's territories, taking much of it including the planet of Stannum, the first world to be under the control of a power other than a major warlord since the first high lord rose to power. They also seized the valuable shipyards and mining facilities around Stannum, granting the United Front a major advantage and foothold for the rest of the war.
