-------
There's trouble in the Lowlands. Jax and their mother are hungry: the crops don't have enough water to grow, and the cow has stopped giving milk.
Could this have something to do with the new President Emperor Elect in Skyworld who wants to annex the
Lowlands for their fresh water and natural resources?
Can Jax get to the bottom of it before the Emperor is sworn in in his magical new suit?!
Come see the inauguration where the naked truth of tyranny is revealed!
