'Look, Sofia, we want to know what happened here!'

'Oh, did you notice? The city was attacked, Meledran,' she said seriously. 'Brightwall! Attacked! Can you believe that? No-one has tried anything like it for about a hundred years. It wasn't even Samarkand, it was the f***ing Council of Nobles.'

Sofia sighed. 'They're a bunch of rich nutcases who all have a lot of noble blood. They come from everywhere, but there are very few from Samarkand, what with them having so few nobles. They all have this f***cked-up philosophy that the poor commoners are a waste of space and resources, as they don't pay anything in taxes, and don't contribute in any meaningful way. They must have decided that Brightwall is too full of lowlife, and needed some kind of "cleansing".'

'It's not the only cleansing that's going to happen,' Meledran said darkly.

'What do you mean?'
