Chaos Academy Bulletin: The XN-#### Investigation Contest
Would you like to win an Agent Contract Token? Well now is your chance! Last week we started a competition for Broker Trainees to win their very own ACT by being the first person to deduce the origins of our XN-####. You may have noticed that Chaos Broker AIs controlling Agents in Training are now called “XN-1031” and similar names, instead of the Random Attackers and Greedy Collectors of old. Who are these mysterious XN Brokers? What species do they belong to?

Breaking: Xandrians Allowed to Direct Agents in Training during Chaos Shard Battles
“The Xandrians have been a close partner and ally of the Padoccia Trade Union since its inception. We are proud to count more Xandrians within our workforce than any other organization in the Firmament, and the result of this partnership is the Firmament-altering technologies that Padoccia has produced. Our Most recent collaboration was the Shard Rods that have transformed the economy of Altareth and elemental science forever,” said a spokesperson for Padoccia Trade Union during a brief public statement.
Missive From Provost Marblemaw to Zhawk, Luchapetal, MrThrifty, and Pickles
The Challenge will be scheduled at an hour agreed upon by all 4 of you. Along with her letter, High Regent Dusana will send you her advice on how to best prepare for the Challenge and its consequences. As much as I’d like to help more, much of this matter is above my paygrade… while this might irritate you, it’s more frustrating to me than a game of Liar’s Bingo played with those uncouth regulars at the Three-faced Liar. So I encourage you to follow Dusana’s advice, and write back to her for more advice if you need it. If this were a yodeling contest against the Xandrians, I’d say you had as much chance at winning this challenge as beating a Madhi at a game of thumb wars, but your training at the Academy makes you the favorite against the Xandrian Handlers.

Padoccia Trade Union Sponsors The Xandrian Challenge
The Padoccia Trade Union is proud to announce a one-time only 4v4 Challenge Tournament that pits 4 of the top Chaos Academy-trained Brokers: MrThrifty, Luchapetal, Zhawk and Pickles, against 4 of the most promising Xandrian Handlers from the planet Moufette.
Missive From High Regent Dusana to Zhawk, Luchapetal, MrThrifty, and Pickles
While for the rest of Altareth and the Firmament, this will simply be another Tournament to enjoy, I can disclose, in confidence to you and your fellow Brokers at the Academy, that the stakes of the results are much higher than they seem. As you have no doubt learned via Red Sun News and other sources, the Xandrians, supported by the Padoccia Trade Union, have been requesting rights to get licensed as Chaos Brokers and start their own Brokerage Houses. While the Convocation supports equal rights for all species, and as a Clausian balance is of utmost to me, I can convey in no uncertain terms that the Xandrians cannot, under any circumstances, be permitted to participate in real Shard wars and campaigns as Chaos Brokers.
Missive From Padoccia Trade Union to All Chaos Brokers
Greetings Chaos Brokers, We are thrilled to learn that some of you are interested in supporting the cause of our Xandrian brethren. Please reach out directly to me, Edrei Gesa, for details on how you can support the Xandrians — your support as an official Chaos Broker is valuable and appreciated.
Missive From High Regent Dusana to Luchapetal
I was hoping that at least one of you will show empathy and concern for the Xandrians, and am proud that you have done so. Empathy and service to all are values that we try to instill in Academy-trained Chaos Brokers, along with the drive to think for themselves, regardless of order, directives, and politics. As a matter of course, I had to also ensure that my fellow High Council members were in agreement with what I am about to tell you.
