### Synopsis

Jarka starts off the Synthesis Arc because she wanted to unite Soulrite under Acolytes of Hostina. She started by taking a few Anterrans hostage and staging a coup d'etat using Plague as a figurehead. This coup was successful and she vassalized Anterra under Plague's leadership.

Jarka made several plans to vassalize other countries, including attempting to win Northwood's election with Frañsez. That did not go through. She attempted to control Scholar's Rock by stabbing then kidnapping Maron S. Beloved. This was thwarted by Sarah Hellsmire, who found Maron from a disc.
