<p><em><strong>cw: betrayal, death, violence, arrest</strong></em> </p>
<p><em>"Boctive Deign, Xenarus Crow, Neah nim Gorse - they’d fill the air with blood and smoke. Their treachery had already claimed Boleth and Serrivomer, they came for us next.</em></p>
<p><em>There are those that rightly call the Lodge a sanctuary, but I will never step foot there again. For me that place is nowt but a tomb, in its halls our revolution is buried."</em></p>
<p>In an instant, the violent arc of Galena's pistol brings down Embrace's dawn-blessed son and with it the revolution's fault lines are seared into reality. Oken lies dying, Ivar is fractured, Ezra faces an assassins blade, Neah frays at the seams, and Ash must decide where his true loyalties lie.</p>
<p><strong>~~ PEOPLE ~~</strong></p>
<p><strong>Altara nim Shif</strong>: Scion of the nim Shif family and their trusted enforcer.</p>
<p><strong>Boctive Deign: </strong>A charismatic member of the Wolves, whose radical treatises on Embrace are widely distributed and eagerly read.</p>
<p><strong>Crik Rise: </strong>Leader of the Flint Street Knappers. Once a friend of Ezra and Nilkat, but life has taken them on a different path.</p>
<p><strong>Flint Reccan: </strong>A former Jackal and companion of Oken, who stayed in Eolith as envoy to Bregu after the slaying of Relict.</p>
<p><strong>Galena nim Ovid</strong>: The imposing head of the Umbral Provenders and Ash’s aunt. She has ambitious plans for the city.</p>
<p><strong>Xenarus Crow</strong>: The cynical leader of the Triumphant Maybe and member of the Wolves.</p>
<p><strong>~~ FACTIONS ~~</strong></p>
<p><strong>nim Shif</strong>: Embrace’s newest great family. Plotting to take over the city with silvered tongues and bloody blades.</p>
<p><strong>Trusted</strong>: A small cell of revolutionaries loyal to Neah, headed by Ido Ozk Erut.</p>
<p><strong>~~ PLACES ~~</strong></p>
<p><strong>The Cut</strong>: A ghostly echo of Embrace. Caerdroia’s labyrinth unspooled into unknowable maze.</p>
<p><strong>Winter’s Lodge</strong>: A place pulled out from the cut. A shifting collection of mismatched architecture. A shell for the gall.</p>
