Current Events

Black Hand
Following information obtained through Germanus' military contacts, the Adventurers discovered that the Brotherhood of the Black Hand, the largest assassins guild in the Empire, was planning to assassinate a member of the Priestess' political cabinet. The group was supplied with a time and place of the assassination and decided to turn the attempt on its head. They organized a social event and insinuated themselves into the part as guests and staff, laying in wait for The Brotherhood to strike. When the moment came, the adventurers thwarted the assassination attempt and captured one of the assassins for interrogation.

After Germanus interrogated the only surviving assassin ("This can go one of two ways: easy or hard"), the adventurers learned information about the local cell of Black Hand in Axis, and their leader Kishka. They also ambushed the information runner at the failed assassins' emergency meeting place to confirm the information. With the location of the assassin hideout confirmed to be in the maintenence tunnels of the city's sewer system, the adventurers followed the trail and cleaned out the base, leaving Kishka alive to be questioned.

Power Shift
Borris, a Dwarven thug who took over lowtown after Aurius Maxel, the Slumlord Merchant Prince, was killed has been taking over organized crime in Lowtown. He was small-time before Maxel was killed, but seized the opportunity of the power vaccum and has been gaining ground. His tactics have become overly brutal in an attempt to prove his authority. He has killed several rival gangsters and seems uncannily adept at avoiding the gaurds in Lowtown.
