In late 1113, the crew of the Confederacy of Duncinae trader MacBeth were arrested and charged with 17 counts of customs violations, unauthorized trade, public disturbance and assault on Ducal Security officers, following riots on Mirak (Reavers' Deep 1127) in the Grand Duchy of Marlheim. The official Ducal position is that the MacBeth crew triggered these riots by actions in violation of local law. Company investigators have turned up evidence suggesting that the riot was sparked by citizens defending the MacBeth crew from harassment.
The Grand Duke has closed its borders to all shipping from the Confederacy.
