TO: EVERYONE AT AROUND 12:15 AM

There is a military coup happening in Thorne. Admiral Sidwell has made a play for the crown that seems to be succeeding. The Summoned are currently being evacuated into safe rooms along with natives.

I thought this information best to be shared with all Summoned.


[He doesn't plan on bringing up how the doors are warded shut. That's for other people to say. This is all about information sharing, Istredd has other things to worry about.]
rookvision: yet (nobody gets hurt; if you haven't heard)

No one's sure yet what this red cloud does—I've been trying to find out but I'll admit, my focus hasn't been entirely on it, and besides that there's already more than enough chaff to sort through for any usable information.

How long do you think this has been planned for? Timing this attack at the same time as this coup tells me it's been long been in the works.
rookvision: (wanna take what i got)

I'm beginning to get a bit sick of magic.

Very little pity, but quite a lot of concern, from what I'm seeing. A coup, even a successful one, doesn't bode well for Thorne's stability, going forward. I wonder if this attack on the Free Cities wasn't meant to buy Sidwell time.

Though it is rather funny
[in a dark and awful way] that he likely decided she wasn't fit to be a ruler because she attacked Libertas, since this is the very first interaction he has with the Free Cities as a ruler himself. Quite the terrible first impression to make.
rookvision: (then i'm letting you know)

To be fair to you, most things can be used for terrible violence if you're creative enough. It's only that I've never dealt with magic before now, and between this and the last month I'm growing rather weary.

Lovely, so now we've gone from a queen who enacts cruelty for no real reason to a king who's cruel because he has what he thinks is a very, very good reason. From where I'm standing, things have not improved a whit.
