Amidst all these troubles, a new Lord Stalwart takes the Steel Seat; chosen as heir in secrecy by the former Stalwart.
Who is this person who seemingly came from nowhere, and why did the former Stalwart appoint them their heir? As it stands, the people, and not least of all the higher Factions, struggle to accept this new Stalwart.
However, these are mysteries not yet important enough to consider, as there are far more pressing matters ahead.
The , the very center of Stalward, is in complete disarray.
Many of the Steel Lords have fled the city and taken up residence in their outskirt estates, and the Owlguard's loyalty is wavering. The district itself is poorly maintained and terribly overseen, as the First Builders are spread thin throughout the city.
Many buildings stand abandoned, and the district's economy is in tatters.
