I'm working on a story for Wayfinder 2 that is set in Korvosa after the events of CoCT. I don't have the money to buy the APs (saddly the only set I don't own in some form) so I need to know how the story ends. Please help me, and my story assumes the PCs succeeded in their quest.
DO NOT PEEK UNDER THE SPOILER IF YOU ARE PLAYING CRIMSON THRONE :) You have been warned.
If the players have succeeded, thare is a lot of work to do in poor Korvosa. The Queen will be dead, and there will be a lot of potential infighting for who becomes the next ruler of the city since she had no known relatives to slip into place next.
The prior seneschal should be alive and well, as will the head of the Korvosan Guard and most of the major establishments.
The Sable Company will need to be rebuilt from the ground up since they were disbanded back in Escape from Old Korvosa, and their commander slaughtered.
The Arkonas may or may not still be around, depending on how the party handles them, but the presumption is that they are gone as a Major noble house and power base.
The population has been decemated, first by the plague, then by the martial law, and finally by the blood magic the queen was performing to gain immortality by using her people's lives.
The Red Mantis should be on very shaky footing in Korvosa any more, as they were part of the queen's "army" of baddies.
The party will have a major artifact that cannot easily be destroyed that they will need to deal with or else the Zon-Kuthonians will be hunting them down to gain possession of the item.
The Abadarans may be on shaky footing with the city, since they threw their support in with the queen while the party was away finding the relic needed to destroy her crown of fangs and prevent her plot.
The Shoanti should be on good terms with the players, but as to the city, that will depend on how things progress for the future.
Think that covers the highlights, hope it helps :)
There is mention that a number of the Sable marines gathered together at some other town outside of Korvosa.
The Order of the Nail failed in their charter. They didn't do anything to stop these events and are likely on the outs with the city.
