Most **Revolutionaries** oppose the Bazaar and the Masters, though this group... isn't really a group.

## The Calendar Council

The most organized group of revolutionaries in London is the **Calendar Council** - though even they don't get along in all aspects. Its members, named after the months of the year, are for the most part plotting and planning for their end goal, **the Liberation of Night**. The philosophy behind it is spreading across the Unterzee and up to the Surface, and predates the Council itself.

## Past Revolutionaries

* The **Rosers** were a group of artists and revolutionaries who were responsible for the end of the Fourth City, and took refuge in the hidden city of Arbor.
* The **Copper** were a group of revolutionaries from the Fourth City who worshipped the God-Eaters.

## Related Factions

Some other groups have desires to upend the status quo of the Neath, the world, or the whole of the Is. They have some ties to the Revolutionaries, but don't share the goals of the Calendar Council or most of the street-level revolutionaries; they do not appear preoccupied with the Masters or Night at all.

* **The New Sequence** is a rebellious faction of the Admiralty that serves the Dawn Machine. They can be identified by their gold-speckled eyes.
* **The Seven Against Nidah** are a group of individuals who seek to liberate the secret of immortality from the The Presbyterate.

## Other Revolutionaries

* **The Curt Relicker** was a member of the Calendar Council until he fell in love with December and was kicked out.
* **Bourdain,** a member of the Seven Against Nidah, was also formerly one of the Council.
* **The Affluent Photographer** is one of the Council's main correspondents.
* **The Secular Missionary** is a charming lady who has come to the Neath searching for her missing husband. She looks innocent, but is actually well-acquainted with anarchist causes. She has an apparent connection to, or preoccupation with, Joan of Arc. Her ulterior motive is to find the Cave of the Nadir, for use as a source of wealth or power, and potentially to sell the location to the highest bidder. She may not know its location, but does know how to enter it.
* **The Revolutionary Firebrand** is a recent arrival in London and the exceptionally handsome husband of the Secular Missionary. He is known for being a bit of a cheapskate. His ulterior motive is to find the Cave of the Nadir, for use as a secret location for plotting the Revolution. He doesn't quite know how to get in, but he knows where it is.
* **The Radical Factotum** is tasked by the Calendar Council to collect materials for the production of light-extinguishing Unclear Bombs. He also extracts memories of Parabola.
