Mish Litriya

**Mish Litriya** is a kept twin at the Litriya Shrine in Cresce.

## Appearance

A teenage girl with wide lips and freckles who wears her black hair in two bound tails.

## Background

Mish and her twin were given to Litriya Shrine to be raised in the Gefendur tradition of kept twins, with the eldest to live in the cloister for life and the youngest to be sacrificed and ritually eaten on one of two annual holy days in their early twenties.

## Personality

Mish is rather spoiled and bigoted. Claiming that the Shrine's "lizards", who have fixed her food, cleaned her clothes, groomed her hair and nails, and done all the cleaning and some guard work for the shrine where she lives a comfortable cloistered life, are lazy and have "always been a problem". These Inak had their homes destroyed, possessions stolen and most of their people slaughtered by her own government, before being forced south and into servitude and a status as less than citizens.

## Relationships

### Sara Litriya

Mish and Sara's personalities clash with Mish going out of her way to make petty comments about Sara's appearance and giving away the part Sara had gotten in the pageant without telling her and Sara playing a very elaborate prank on the entire shrine to get back at Mish.

### Ruffles

Mish treats Ruffles poorly, promising her a part in her pageant if Ruffles goes out of her way to serve Mish her food wherever she pleases, taking time from Ruffles busy workday, and then only offering her a part that is essentially set dressing where she's not allowed to speak.
Jeremy Sarthos

**Jeremy Sarthos**, formerly Jessamin Sarthos, is a Third Option from Durlyne City who attended the Durlynian Academy of Magery and the Arts at the same time as Duane Adelier.

## Appearance

Small with short silver hair and bright blue eyes.

## Background

She took the Third Option to study Pymary, and still considered herself a woman even though she was no longer one legally nor permitted to insinuate she was one. After being kicked out of school she fled to avoid the potentially deadly repercussions of returning to her ghers in Durlyne City and presumably took up a female identity again, though Duane never knew what actually became of her.

Poppy

The red **poppy** flower is the symbol of the powerful Aldish noble family the Foi-Hellicks, all but one of whom were slain by being disemboweled in the streets by the Aldish state during the Foi-Hellick Affair. The Avelpitian rebels during the "affair" and the other disenfranchised Alishmen who flocked to join their rebellion wore red poppy emblems as a symbol of their alliance.

## Description

Poppies are a flowering plant with a red bloom.

## Uses

Opium can be harvested from poppy seed capsules, the harvested opium can then be used to create the tincture Laudanum which is used medicinally as a painkiller and anaesthetic. It is also an addictive drug.

Chapter 2

Chapter 2 coverpage

Chapter 2, The Red Berry Boys began posting []. Its tag line reads "In Which Bad Guys Ruin Everyone's Good Time"

## Synopsis

Sette's mission is apparently to bully money from her cousin, a family member who moved west years ago to expand the business but who stopped sending tribute home. The task is explained in grandiose terms by Sette, who claims that she's the only one her father trusts with such an important affair. Her bodyguard, Duane Adelier, is dubious. Eager to impress him Sette waxes rhapsodic over her supposedly supernatural sense of smell, explaining she has the ability to smell sorcery itself. But it's blood she suddenly scents on the air, causing Duane to rush to the rescue of a pair of children being assaulted by would-be kidnappers. Duane soundly trounces the fiends, displaying great proficiency with stick-fighting and the art of Pymary, a sort of sorcery that involves switching about the Aspects of different matter. One of the children explains that the kidnappers were part of a gang of slavers called the Red Berry Boys, and that Crescian Peaceguard have been hot on their trail for some time. Duane swears to find the rest of the gang, and sets off into the forest - much to Sette's displeasure.

The slavers' hideout is revealed to be deep inside a crumbling Gefendur crypt. Once inside, Duane and Sette find they are too late, and the building has been very recently abandoned. Further in, Duane discovers a partially eviscerated, dying child and is unsuccessful in his attempt to save her. Returning to the central chamber of the crypt, he stumbles upon a band of Peaceguard who mistake him for one of the slavers, and blows are exchanged. Duane and Sette escape, leaving one of the Peaceguard gravely injured.

River Jarla

The **River Jarla** is a series of rivers that Kasslynians treat as one due to their close starting and end points. One of these rivers starts as a mountain stream in Ulestry before passing betwixt the border cities of Mulimar and Ethelmik continuing on Cresce's border for a bit along where it meets West Manilda and then dips into Cresce proper, running towards Fluirstadt, Litriya Shrine situated on a isle in the river along the way.
Jon Steeling

**Jon Steeling** was a young plat Wright conscripted into the Aldish military as a child. During the last years of the Foi-Hellick Affair Jon served as spellmaster's apprentice to Duane Adelier in the State Ssaelit Order of Chinoll.

## Appearance

A teenager with his while hair cut in an unattractive short bowl haircut.

## Personality

A sweet guy with a protective streak, who never stopped seeing the child soldiers of Alderode as children even though his desire to protect them from the horrors of war was impractical and impossible. He was gay, which went unnoticed due to such an orientation being so alien in Aldish culture, seen as more of a personality flaw than anything, due to the just about state mandated heterosexuality of Aldish society to keep making babies.

## Background

Working with Duane Adelier in the plaugelands of Fachlyne the two of them became friends in the course of their unhappy work. At an asylum were many orphan children of Fachlyne were sequestered Duane and Jon found several plat boys whom they knew had a chance of getting out of the quarantined ginnal, unlike the other children, if they could prove them valuable to the state. Working together to rescue the boys Jon and Duane worked to turn the boys into a group of child Plat wrights and managed to get them transferred into the State Ssaelit Order of Chinoll military order where Jon served as Duane's apprentice/second and Duane served as their leader and spellmaster. Jon was planning to go to seminary and join the Ssaelit priesthood after his service in the Foi-Hellick Affair was concluded.

## Relationships

### Duane Adelier

Duane was Jon's spellmaster, whom he had an unrequited crush on.

## History

Jon was killed at 18 years old by an errant spell during the wright fight Vampire and a Black Tongue designed to create a khert fire by sacrificing his plat unit so that Roger Foi-Hellick could enter Alderode without being immediately hit with the Etalarche Curse. His body fell along with several surviving members of his order into the Uneasy Mines when the destabilized khert removed a gaint chunk of earth separating the two groups of wrights, where it was consumed alongside the bodies of the children whose lives Vampire tossed away by varpies since the khert fire prevented a proper cremation as his religion dictated.

## Appearances

In addition to his appearances in Book I Jon has appeared in Patreon exclusive bonus content.

Bubbles & Pearls

**Bubbles & Pearls** is a type of savory brightly colored cracker snack sold in Alderode. The round pink colored pieces are shrimp chips and the blue colored rings taste like a salty biscut. The traditionally and suggested serving is in a bowl of monnie milk. While that brand isn't sold in Sharteshane there is a similar food there which Sette Frummagem likes to eat topped with cheese. Because they are made with shrimp Bubbles & Pearls are not considered acceptable for Ssaelit to eat.

## Appearance

Bubbles & Pearls are small pink "pearls" and blue ring "bubbles" with a Waterwoman theme. They come in a blue box with a cute cartoony waterwoman holding a spoonful towards the viewer depicted on the front.

Ruffles

Ruffles handing Duane his eye

**Ruffles** is the human used name for the young pink Inak from the Inaktown beneath Litriya Shrine whose true name, approximately HcH’stefaacsth, means ruffled beetle princess. She has befriended Sara and Siya Litriya, and likes both her names with "Ruffles" having been come up with by her Nana for humans to use rather than by humans themselves.

## Appearance

Ruffles is pink with skin gatherings that look like ruffles on her head and forearms. Her eyes are black. She usually wears green pants and a brown leather tail and waist wrap.

## Personality

Ruffles is very earnest and eager to fit in, though she's grown distant from her own people and would rather fit in with humans given all the tragedy that has befallen the Inak and the way they are treated contemptuously at best by the society that has destroyed their own. It does not help that the male teenagers of her clan are becoming more and more antagonistic towards her and her human friends the longer they are kept in the Inaktown, denying their biological urge to leave and travel, while hearing about atrocities being visited upon their people outside the shrine.

## Background

Raised her entire life beneath Litriya Shrine she and her community were both protected by the shrine and treated poorly by its inhabitants. They are expected to live their entire lives there despite the Inak's natural inclination to roam as teenagers and treated as lazy dirty pests despite doing almost all the work in the shrine from cleaning toilets, to cooking, to doing the twins' nails and laundry. Their faith in the old gods must also be hidden from their subjugators and they are careful not to tell the stories of the Inak were the Shrine mistresses might overhear.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

### Chapter 16

When the hidden construct facility's self destruct was activated Ruffles became one of only two survivors of Inaktown. She was outside the cavern her people lived in banging at the door begging to be let out and claiming to be human and to have rejected her Inak heritage after Lori Ripa had all the Inak locked away for the actions of three of their teenagers. She thus heard and felt the explosion that destroyed her home but was spared the destruction. She ran back downstairs to check on her family only to find the village a flooded wreak, and see her Nana floating still with one of her younger siblings clutched to her, both crawling with flesh beetles before their bodies sunk. She gave up on doing much but mourning after seeing that her entire family was killed so quickly. Sara was able to coax her out, and she crawled the steps out of the cavern with Sara and Siya, though Sara was killed in the second explosion as she was last. This left Ruffles with Siya as the closest of her companions still alive.

Hanst Mikharhuk Ruckmearkha

> **Thank you** for finding my long sleeping place and calling me back to the world. I could have missed these... new times.
>
> -**Ruck**, Chapter 13, page 30

Ruckmearhkha is an efheby trying to supplant Lady Ilganyag as the 'patron saint' of the Black Tongues.

## Appearance

A large orange man with three fingered hands, tentacles around his waist and head, a set of arms on his head, fangs and a snake tail in place of legs.
First Materials

**First Materials** are rare and varied materials that hold unique properties, and are crucial in the manufacture of pymarics. Unlike normal materials, they are independent of the khert, so they are not affected by pymary, and they can be permanently enchanted, without requiring a wright to maintain the spell. This works because they have their own khert fields, independent of the universal khert.

There are 'First' versions of many materials: wood, stone, sand, flax, water, even, theoretically, air. Some examples:

* First Silk is produced by spindleworms, so it's relatively common.
* First Sand is mined from relatively abundant supplies and made into glass.
* First Silver is the best material for pymarics, but very scarce.
* First Iron is a cheaper alternative to First Silver.
* First Timber comes in several varieties, including marrowroot and starstain.
* First Salt is produced by salt lizards. It's not very useful.
* First Gold is used for inlays.
* First Copper is used in Chitz.
* First Water is obtained from nereids.
* First Light is no longer available, the last source of it used in the creation of Timofey.

Better First Materials can hold a higher density of enchantments. In addition, there are multiple grades of each First Material.

The supplies of most First Materials are not renewable, and many varieties have been exhausted, removed from the world by humans eager to manufacture pymarics. The increasing scarcity of First Materials makes them difficult to locate and expensive to purchase, which increases the price of pymarics.

Weapons made of First Materials are used for fighting wrights, because their aspects cannot be stolen, and because they can block pymary by cutting khert lines.

A blade made of a high-grade First Material is used in the Rite that connects wrights to the khert.

## Origin

The Gefendur believe that the Twin Gods created the world Perfectly, and every material in it was Perfect. The original world had the most perfect trees and the most perfect animals and the most perfect stones and ores and water and air. These were the first materials and they were the best materials, created first-hand by the gods.

But it was all *too* good. The first animals (called senet beasts) grew spoiled by their perfect world and their immortal existences, and one day rebelled against the domineering Twins. To punish them and to make their world forever subservient and imperfect, the gods introduced the idea of decay. Now the perfect materials began to break down into less perfect materials, materials held hostage by the unbreakable laws and processes of the khert. Hungry organisms obsessed with destruction began to fester in the waters. Eons passed and they evolved into animals and eventually, mortal humans.

But buried deep, hidden in out-of-the-way places, there are still traces of First Materials and senet beasts, survivors from the first days of the world.

Hanret

**Hanret** is a country whose borders are kept on maps of Kasslyne by other countries mostly in defiance of Rachshane which conquered the lands of Hanret long ago. While there have been some resistance movements in Hanret their support by outside countries is mostly just talk, rather than the military support such movements would need to be succsesful and by the time of *Unsounded: Book I* Hanret has been mostly subsumed entirely and culturally by isolationist Rachshane.

Hart Hetr

Hetr in Chapter 6

**Captain Hetr** is General Bell's subordinate in the Peaceguard tasked with the defense of the cities Ethelmik and Mulimar, the neighboring Crescian and Ulestrian cities situated next to each other and separated by the river that defines the border between their respective countries.

He was involved in the plot to move the First Silver weapon along with Bell.

## Personality

Hetr is something of a windbag, and very obsessed with his own image.

## Relationships

### **Kima Bell**

Hetr is slavishly devoted to Bell's ideas of a more patriarchal Cresce.

### **Abby Colt**

Hetr's viciously minded subordinate and coworker who was stationed across the river from Ethelmik as Peaceguard captain in Mulimar.
Ethelmik

**Ethelmik** is a city in Cresce. Located on the Jarla River, it is a border town opposite Mulimar in Ulestry.

## History

> The mines are dry, the falls are expensive to maintain... the palace will shut it all down in the next few years. Meanwhile Stockyard's picking over this miserable city's bones like a buzzard
>
> -**Elan Aled**, Chapter 6, page 24

Ethelmik and Mulimar were built over impressive First Materials mines in the cliffs to each side of the Jarla. The mines were the reason for the cities and kept them prosperous for a long time, but First Materials are a limited resource and the quarries had brought up just about all of it a century ago. The mines are closed entirely now, but Ethelmik is still populated largely by those who once worked them. Prior to Ulestry's big pacifist movement there was a military fort and war constructs were hidden in the tunnels.

Some time ago the city hosted Rilursa Sonorie for a demonstration of a personal flight Pymaric being developed by Rahm and Dani Ripa. There was a catastrophic accident during the demonstration which killed Dani and permanently removed the visual aspect of Rahm's legs.

One year before the start of *Book I* Stockyard Frummagem arrived from New Tawhoque and tried starting his criminal enterprise with a thieving gang, which didn't work due to Cresce's lack of money, before opening the brothel, the Deadly Nevergreen, on Two-Elm Terrace, beneath which he uses the abandoned mine tunnels to run a hidden smuggling operation.

Pip

**Pip** is the larger of Iori Ripa's two house-owls. He likes to snuggle and is well trained to only poop in his cage if inside. His and Squeak's cage opens both inside and to the garden, with an external door the owls are trained to open. He's trained to deliver messages between the Ripa sisters in Ethelmik and Litriya Shrine.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

After Sette Frummagem uses the Blood Amulet to force Duane Adelier to participate in a Gefendur Trinsday pagent he snaps at the existential crises he'd already been working through and the realization that he can be and has been controlled like a puppet through a pymaric trinket by someone he'd trusted and bites Pip's head off when the bird flies at him on stage.
Johfrit Jeffers

**Johfrit Jeffers** is a wright associate of Bastion Winalils.

## Appearance

Man with tattoos around his mouth. He's only been seen in flashbacks, but his health and body are evidently failing concurrently with Book I.

## Personality (Spoilers!)

> Something Bastion’s friend Johfrit might enjoy. [...] He’s a headcase in the vein of Master Delicieu who delights in torturing people with pymary. A surgical slice and a blast of Momentum to Skin would go a long way towards flaying someone. Imagine the blood spray! Then the skin slaps against a far wall like wet laundry.

## Appearance

Blonde man in armor under a green tunic and feline silver helmet.

## Relationships

### Duane Adelier

Duane was familiar with Glover, enough so that he could recognize him even in face concealing armor years after last seeing him, and seems to have once commanded or taught him in battle oriented Pymary.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

### Chapter 16: Passionate Intensity

During the in the assault on Litriya Shrine Glover was left on the roof as a sniper while his leader Ricker led a group in sacking Litriya and searching for the hidden construct facility that was responsible for restarting the hostilities between Cresce and Alderode. He was surprised on the rooftop by the appearance of a mysterious masked wright dressed like Ssael whom either he or one of the other battlewrights recognized as Duane Adelier, before dismissing the thought since Duane is years dead. Duane tossed him and the other snipers into the construct facility beneath Litriya. After slaughtering Rroan who was standing inside the door to the facility to open it as part of a gambit by the Inak to try allying themselves with the Aldish Glover's group let Ricker's group into the facility, just in time for the surviving member of the fighting Inak group to set off the self destruct spell and kill all of the Lions of Mercy who'd made it past the doorway. Glover and Ricker turned to flee back up through the shrine where they were engaged by Rion Keon and Hart Hetr and Glover was crushed into the contour of a nearby urn by the Aseptick.
Rahm Ripa

**Rahm The Raptor** (Rahm Ripa) is a member of the Black Tongues who with his wife Iori Ripa lives in Ethelmik, a Crescian border town.

## Appearance

The visual aspect of his legs was lost in the accident that killed Dani Ripa, so they are invisible. As a Black Tongue his tongue has the distinctive black tattoo of all members and he wears a First Silver torque.

## Background

"Rahm [Seer] visited Litriya for a blessing on his way to his new job in Ethelmik, [and was quite taken with Iori Litriya, one of the kept twins.] His friends thought it was weird he needed so many blessings over the next few months, and even weirder that he insisted on traveling all the way back to Litriya for them." He managed to romance her away from her shrine, causing her to give up the shrine's name and retake her own, then marry him so he also became a Ripa. They had a happy life together as he became one of the premiere wrights of his country along with his son Dani Ripa. After Dani died demonstrating a Pymaric he and his father were working on together Rahm joined the Black Tongues in his grief and obsession.

## Personality

He and his wife are the people Bastion Winalils trusts most in the world, and he sees them as good and admirable people. Rahm has however become obsessed with his work, and tells Iori that her "Good Man" melted into the khert along with their son, though she denies this and talks him down. The couple are very hospitable despite the Black Tongues' reputation.

## Recent Events (Spoilers)

He and his wife sheltered Jivi, Matty, and Quigley after their escape from the Red Berry Boys. When Ethelmik was destroyed he and Iori escaped to their son Riki's home in Sheer.

Emil is a handsome man with black hair. His shirts have a tendency to be ill fated.

## Background

Though hailing from a modest military background, Toma is married to a Sonorie cousin, making him a member of one of Cresce's most privileged families. After an illustrious decade in the army he's been among the Peaceguard's ranks only two years, mainly fulfilling special domestic assignments for the Queen herself. Toma has one daughter, a girl named Chea, to whom he sends badges from every foreign Peaceguard and Constabulary office he visits. His saddle hound Pantoffel came from his family's goat farm and is a loyal companion.

## Personality

Liro

> You know I'm only good for gossip. But you will save the world, darling! You always do..
>
> -**Liro**, Chapter 17, page 30

**Liro** is a Crescian who is partners with Ufal.

## Appearance

An exuberant bearded and bespectacled man.

## History

While Liro is married and has children as is expected of a man of his standing in Crese he has no romantic inclinations towards his wife nor lives with her, instead being husband in all but name to Chancellor Ufal. He's a shameless gossip whose tales of the scandals of Crese's elite can be incongruous in their timing.

## Relationships

* **Ufal** - While Liro is married with children that is a passionless relationship, and he and Ufal are romantic partners and husbands in all but name.

## Recent Events (spoilers)

### Chapter 17

Liro notices his partner looks incredibly stressed at the Trinsday celebration in Port Morstorben and makes an effort to cheer him and tidy him up a bit. Ufal is unimpressed with Liro's cavalier attitude and implores him to find somewhere safe to get drunk, as he feels the Queen's machinations and Bell's plotting are about to result in a violent and dangerous clash.

Minnow

**Minnow** is a water woman first seen taking the identifying necklaces from the corpses soldiers in the aftermath of battle as her sisters drag their bodies to the depths.

## Appearance

Minnow is blue skinned with tapered darker blue stripes and chin length dark blue hair.

## Background

Despite being a sea waterwoman Minnow has moved into the River Jarla where she has a very uneasy alliance with the river nereids whom she lives among but whom often attack her. River accuses her of having had to flee the sea and her closer sisters due to her odd way of thinking that is more kind to humans than most water women are willing to put up with. She is far better at speaking human languages than expected of a water woman and seems to have a better understanding of humans and tolerance to consider them as individuals, which is at least partially because she has not been remade for much longer than many of her sisters.

Minnow is worshiped as a small god by the Inak clan of Children of Shaensigin who have been displaced by Cresce and forced south from their ancestral homelands to end up building a small Inaktown beneath Litriya Shrine. While they still maintain an altar to Lowing Shaensigin the Salt Lizard they fear she died in the fighting, destruction and culling that forced them from the caverns around her sky haunted pool. She accepts small biscuits as "snackrifices", and scolds Masek when he doesn't bring her ones shaped like fish even though he protests they all taste the same.

He died in March of 2019.

Purple Weed

**Purple Weed** is a mild smokable and consumable psychoactive drug sourced from the seeds of a purple flower, which can act as a a mild sedative and/or hallucinogen depending on the user, strain and amount taken.

Purple Weed grows plentifully across Kasslyne "from tropical southern Mahrshane to chilly southern Alderode. It grows as a difficult to eradicate invasive which is why it is termed a weed. The seeds are harvested, roasted, sometimes spices and aromatic leaves are added; sometimes it’s made into a tea and imbibed rather than smoked; sometimes it’s added to food. Different regions of the world have their own local blends, local flavours, different potencies." Purple Weed can be smoked in a pipe or rolled into a cigarette. Like most widely consumed products in Kasslyne Beadman's Betters produces and markets a whole line of it, called Beadman’s Better Breathables.There is a Purple Weed farm called Fenescue near Port Morstorben in Cresce which is the preferred brand of some locals.

## Trivia

Purple Weed is comparable to a *very* mild cannabis and is a common and casually consumed drug in Kasslyne, unlike Glut, Krrf and Opium/Laudanum which are treated more seriously as their consumption can result in serious medical concerns.

Mmatont

The Mmatont are a faction of Tainish peoples who have rebelled from Alderode in Anchert. They have supposedly reverted to Old Tainish religions and gods, and speak a different form of Tainish. They are blamed for terrorist attacks and their actions are in turn conflated with those of Aldish Soud (Gold), who are excluded, persecuted and attacked in reaction to the Mmatont's publicized behavior.
Beadman’s Imbiblicals

**Beadman's Imbiblicals** are a mass produced soft drink made by Beadmans Betters, that is popular throughout Kasslyne.

Beadman's Imbiblicals come in a number of flavors including Fescu (Fenescue), Softi, Hedgeapple, Raspberry and "Waterwomen" (minty clam juice). "There’s even a flavor made with New Tawhoque Lambence - springwater infested with teensy harmless glowing organisms - that kids love because it makes their pee glow."

## Relationships

Slavery

Slavery, the practice of owning and trading people, was once a widespread practice in Kasslyne. With the advent and spread of Plods it has become viewed as a less savory practice and has been outlawed in several Gefendur states including Ulestry and Cresce. Alderode has its own form of slavery where slaves are called Kussen and are stripped of their castes and sterilized upon becoming such.

## Slavery in Sharteshane

Sharteshane has not outlawed slavery, and the Gefendur paladins which patrol the country teach that anyone, including children, who end up enslaved are suffering for sins in a past life and thus not to be shown compassion.

## Slavery in Ulestry

By the time of *Unsouded* slavery has been long outlawed in Ulestry. Ulestrians find slavers reprehensible and it repulsive that there are still places which practice slavery. When local constables are not enough to find and stop those illegally kidnapping and enslaving people in Ulestry Crescian Peaceguard can be asked to aid in the hunt. Transporting slaves through Ulestry appears to be a legal, if disliked, practice, however they cannot be sold or enslaved within Ulestry's borders and must be legal slaves from wherever the slavers hail from.

## Slavery in Cresce

While slavery fell out of favor, and then out of practice and legality by the time of *Unsounded*, in Cresce the Inak are stuck in a position that leaves them at the mercy of the Crescian state, even though owning even Inak is illegal. Inak cannot earn Labor Points and despite Queen Maharaishala Sonorie's care for them even she cannot make them citizens without the approval of the Council of Four, whom are vehemently opposed, and without risking riots. They are stuck doing menial labor in return for room and board and treated worse than Hounds by the more bigoted Crescians.

## Aldish kussen

Kussen are state designated slaves in Alderode. Shaved, sterilized and stripped of their Khert tied connection to their caste. They are to be kept separate from citizenry and forgotten by those who once knew them.

Grenzlan

## Overview

**Grenzlan** is a Crescian city that was destroyed by Aldish troops in response to discovering that Cresce had been sending spies and military personell into Alderode to steal secrets and First Materials using a tunnel network into Avelpit. The Crescian government claimed the men Alderode found were assessors surveying the border between the two countries whom the Aldish government killed without merrit and sent back to Cresce with defective bombs in their heads. The city is almost a hundred miles south of the border with Alderode.
