Ongoing Q/A

Who ensorcelled Lady Tarby?

Minerva, who still owes the Tarby family a debt.

Why is Roy against Tommy?

Power grab, mostly not personal.

Tommy wasn’t the best boss, took lots of credit for Roy’s hard work.

Places a personal “friend” (Minerva) in more power.

Why is Minerva allied with Roy?

James Tarby (Roy/Jacqueline’s father) used his trade connections to get Minerva out of Ireland and set her up in Dannofer.

Minerva was a younger (hatchling) member of the twilight, one of the first born in a long time. She shared the Twilight militarism and disdain for humanity, but became obsessed with “strange magics of the shore witches” (blood magic).

Where is Tommy going to end up?

The work camp that the monolith came from, up north by Blackpool.

Upcoming thoughts

Roy is a bastard brother of Tarby. They share a mother. James Tarby is her father.

Broader:

• There’s spooky shit going on in the north (Justice Mortimer overseeing the dig site).
• The stone is sunk in the canal, but partially hidden with witchcraft. Since its also a null arcane field and the bottom is silty it will be hard to find.
• What will shift in the city’s politics?

You touch on something, in the black. It’s slippery and wet and slithers away into the deep darkness of your sleep.
