Change is coming. The city has been moved, the sky torn asunder and the Imperial Palace destroyed by an act of Rod.

Meanwhile, in the Barrens, there are rumours that the Tyrant Thieves are meeting. Via discreet channels, individuals are being hired for an unspecified job; the only instruction is to meet at the Pickle Inn in the Barrens.

• Jemil Tabriio
• Alos Frond/Astrid Telos
• Alessia Doubt
• Heston
• Garrek

To come…

To come…

• Petronax is gone. It is said that he was killed, trapped within his own tower and consumed by shadows which destroyed him utterly. Jemil Tabriio has taken his place as the Tyrant of Esteban and considering the fate of Petronax, there are none who dare challenge him.
• The absent usurper, Mabel, has been outed as a Forest Touched and Anton has retaken his rightful position as Tyrant of Telemere.
• The Rom of the Barrens is in disarray as Maximus of the True Outlaws works to disassemble Aphra's leadership in search of revenge. Aphra has gone to ground, leaving her district to break up into smaller factions.
• Devout Fiera of the Throne's purge of the Barrens has ground to a stalemate as House Keelen has risen to oppose her slaughter of civilians. As it stands, Fiera has control of the Boulevard district from where she is planning her campaign of prideful destruction. Her soldiers are fighting a street war in Rom. However, the alliance between Esteban and Telemere has thus far proved too strong for her forces to break.
• The Barrens has started to spread southward into the Wastes. This is largely bands of refugees from Fiera's purge, not under the auspices of any particular Tyrant, although Iseult of the Wastes insists that she should have charge of them.
• The Anti-Bureaucratic Rod revolutionaries have been driven underground by the purge where, in the shadows, their beliefs are becoming more extreme.

• Prophet of the Painter: Every time you meet someone to whom you have not yet extolled the virtues of the Painter, you must declare “the Painter is coming to remake the world; bow down in adoration to their majesty” or else be completely overcome by your current emotion for 30s. This may be resisted with STRONG WILL.
