As interspecies integration continues in Quadras, the Inquisitors expect there to be problems. Change is hard, but integration would be much easier if people weren't so busy killing each other. Throwing fame and fortune into the problem creates a major headache. Doughas and Vor are doing what they can to survive another day in Quadras. They have their work cut out for them. Their only leads are smoke and distant whispers, gone as soon as they look closer. From dealing with politics to calling in favors, this was never going to be an easy case. The sticky strands of connection all point toward a conspiracy, and those who have something to hold on for refuse to dig deeper. Ignoring the gathering shadows could prove too dangerous to anyone threatening to shine the light of day on the plotters. But Doughas is too old for cautious nonsense, and Vor is scared of the implications for the integration if they do nothing. Can our intrepid elf-dwarf duo keep the city from tearing itself apart?
