Argent Wings Take Flight (Hell's Rebels AP)

Game Master Sensen

Kintargo, once the freest city in all of Cheliax, has fallen under shadow as her new Lord-Mayor, Barzillai Thrune, has seized control of the city. Already whispers have begun about his moves to consolidate absolute authority within him alone, and many fear to speak where once they filled the streets with chatter. Opera, once so popular, has virtually vanished overnight.

Not all is lost, as there are yet those who remember Kintargo's heritage, and will take action to ensure the city's freedom! With a name from the shadowy past, the Silver Ravens take flight again!

Proclamations of Paracount Lord-Mayor Barzillai Thrune:

Proclamation the First: All slayers of city pests (hereby defined as doves, mice, and ravens) who present said pests to the dottari shall be rewarded with a bounty of 1 copper piece.
Proclamation the Second: All places of public business must display in a position of prominence within the first room accessible from the building’s primary entrance a portrait of Her Infernal Majestrix Queen Abrogail II. Said portrait must measure no less than 11 by 17 inches. (Generously, Barzillai has made such portraits available for 10 gp each!)
Proclamation the Third: Anyone who captures, alive and unharmed, a feral dog of a weight exceeding 50 pounds is to be rewarded with a payment of 2 silver pieces upon transfer of the dog to the dottari. Such noble guardian creatures should find homes worthy of their kind!
Proclamation the Fourth: The right to wear fine embroidered clothing in public is hereafter proscribed to anyone other than agents of House Thrune or the Holy Church of Asmodeus. Exceptions can be awarded or purchased at the city’s discretion. (This likely includes most of the noble garbs you have.)
Proclamation the Fifth: Grain is life! Should grain be spilled in public, it must be gathered, cleaned, and repackaged within the hour. Any person who allows grain to go ungathered after a spillage shall be fined 1 copper piece per grain.
Proclamation the Sixth: The imbibing of night tea brings a dangerous imbalance to the slumbering mind. Between the hours of sunset and sunrise, the taking of tea is proscribed.
Proclamation the Seventh: The odor and flavor of mint is an abomination to the refined palate. Be not the cretin! Mint use in candies, drinks, and all manner of confections is hereby proscribed.
