Episode: Breaking the Silence

Posted by Story on 03/25/17
While the forces of the Compact are still returning home after the destruction of the western most bringer column, the city of Arx prepares for siege. An evacuation of the Lower Boroughs has been ongoing, aided by the Culler family in particular. House Mercier led by Lazarus and the Crafter's guild led by Joscelin have been aiding the stream of refugees traveling to Arx for safety, while Lord Michael Bisland helped establish a refugee camp in the City Center of Arx. Lady Anabelle Lyonesse helps to see to the supplies of the refugeees, and rallies flogging spirits. Arx waits for the return of the victors from the battle, and the port of Arx stays busy, as the largest port of in the world, with hundreds of ships at any one time.

So a few more trading vessels from the Mourning Isles doesn't attract much notice, a flotilla claiming to be with the Black Mountain Trading Company as its prodigal-looking crews talks with the Iron Guard at the docks, even though it seems a bit irregular. As a captain in the Iron Guard talking to the sailors finds matters a bit odd, and presses the questioning, the captain casually grabs the iron guardsman by the arm, lifts him in the air, and tears him apart. The captain nods at his crew and they immediately draw weapons and begin butchering the Iron Guardsmen on the dock, as several of the figures tear men and women apart with their bare hands. Bringers of Silence are in the Lower Boroughs.
