Stillwater, a decadent neon supernatural haven in shadow of the Sierra Nevada mountains, is ready to tear itself apart. The five lords of the city shrunk to four following the assassination of the Wolf King. If paranoia and intrigue weren't rife before, now they are impossible to avoid. Everyone is making plans, positioning themselves to take control of Stillwater's magnificent bounty. The Nemorensi, a cabal of mortal spies, archivists, and hunters, have plans for Stillwater's future that are already in motion. Complete destruction is a dream yet puppet regimes that do minimal damage and allow the organization access to harder targets are well within their capabilities. The crisis is coming, but isn't crisis just another word for opportunity? And if you play your hand smart, you just might win big.
