Lyozes RPG: Updated

Upon confronting, no, witnessing her

I didn't see the burning buildings

I didn't see the burning flesh

I saw only her magenta eyes

And in her burning eyes...

I couldn't see my future

Five seconds. I saw a dozen futures in the span of a heartbeat

In every single one, the result was not combat.

It was annihilation

Before my mind could process the failure of my limbs, my knees hit the ground

This was not something i could defeat

To stand before her was to be unmade...

Argentum Council

The Argentum Council is an aristocratic syndicate compromised of the three wealthiest noble families in the Wailing Tower. Operating from the affluent Citadel Suburbs, they control the capital's tax revenue, real estate, and trade routes. While the Ironclaw Guild battles the dungeon and the Greycloaks police the streets, the Council holds the true authority by providing eighty percent of the city's defense funding. They do not break the law; they rewrite it. Shielded by a political "Golden Immunity," they use the city guard as private security and quietly launder wealth through black market syndicates like the Veiled Mercs. Anyone indebted to them is recorded in the Ledger, a magically bound book that guarantees absolute ownership over their life and assets.
