The party must contend with the fallout from the death of Nibenay
Problems
- Ayo and the Water Reservoir
- Ongoing conflict with Gulg; the city is overall wealthy
- Rejan and the Temple of Trade
- Attempts to escape
- Challenge: Member of the old power structure BUT best survivor for knowing the city; less bad than the others
- Nibenay's Noble Houses
- Politically weak, but will chomp at the bit with news of Nibenay's death
- Jey Sotheara wishes to expand her family's land holdings and continue operations in the Crescent Forest
- Nibenay's military
- Disarray; will look to someone who can lead
- Captain Din — a half giant from the Shadow Guard
- Nibenay's slaves
- Backbone of city; freeing them will upset everyone else, especially House Shom led by Giovvo Shom
- Veiled Alliance
- Polan Felk is local head
- Interested in studying the tree
Resolution
- Holly puked up a seed of a Heart Tree onto Nibenay's corpse, which then immediately grew massive after absorbing his arcane power and broke through the roof of The Naggaramakam
- Rejan installed as head bitch in charge
- House Shom declared outlaw as example of city's decadence and decay, slaves freed into lower-class position
- Ayo appointed in charge of the Heart Tree
- Veiled Alliance introduced into the governing alliance
