Episode: Swords and Crowns
Posted by Story on 01/04/17
A panic spreads in the city as fighting erupts in the Iron Guards Barracks. Details are sketchy, as panicked commoners of Arx alternately say there was an attempted overthrow of the Throne by the Lord Commander of the Iron Guard Everard Telmar, or that the Lady Regent attempted to have the Lord Commander Everard Telmar arrested and the Iron Guardsmen started fighting amongst themselves, or the Inquisition attacked the Iron Guard, or the Iron Guard tried to assassinate the regent, or that the Ministers of the Crown tried to disband the Iron Guard, or... a half a hundred theories, but what's known is that there was some heavy fighting by the Iron Guard barracks that spilled into the streets as guardsmen fought one another, and that the current situation is extremely confused as guardsmen of all sorts rush around the Ward of the Compact, with scattered fighting and many voices trying to exert authority. At least a large segment of Iron Guardsmen have been spotted leaving the city on horse.
