I've just returned from nearly a month in the Orient searching for our missing king, Zig ApilSin. Leah Enkidu, the intrepid publisher of the Babylon Beat, was sure that he he had been kidnapped by several members of AW's new city, the Orient. When I was in Xi'an, the original capitol of unified ancient China, I heard rumors that some Near Easterner had recently absconded with most of the Emperor's concubines. That certainly sounded "Zig like" but no one at the royal court would discuss the matter with me. However, they did make me and my wife Emperor and Empress of China for a day and then gently insisted that we return to Mesopotamia. That is why I am frowning. These Orientals are really inscrutable.
