Chapter Text
10.37 GDI (Pt. 1) <Drakes regulate all drugs. Liscor has kept Hazyflower from becoming a scourge of its population. However, the late Mister Soot was instrumental in bringing it into Liscor ten years back, which coincided with the Silverfang arrival. Streihart Silverfang’s addiction led to Ishkr moving out of their home and working with his sister in the Silverfang community. Later, as his fortunes improved, he took care of his mother. Including giving her the same faerie flower tonic Tessa used.>
10.37 GDI (Pt. 3) “Hells. What if it’s that thing in Celum? It’s connected to here by the damn door, isn’t it? I heard it ate several gangs. Or the thing in Liscor that wiped out Mister Soot?”
10.37 GDI (Pt. 3) “What thing in Celum? Who’s Mister Soot?”
Mini-Chapters – Patreon Poll “Then I’ll get out on the street and—what, only three? What about organized crime? The Brothers of Serendipitous Meetings—I know they’re muscling in on other gangs’ turfs with Mister Soot dead. What are they up to?”
Mini-Chapters – Patreon Poll Mister Soot. Right. He was one of the originals.”
Mini-Chapters – Patreon Poll “Poor Mister Soot. You did everything right. You were the big Drake on the streets, the Dragon of the underworld. Flash, sharp, and smarts all in one package. You and your little magic wands with three charges in them. Untraceable; you fire a few spells, toss it, and walk off. You had it all. Then the 2nd Antinium War had to happen. Suddenly, Antinium were in the middle of your district, and there were Gnolls who smelled too well and too many outsiders. Then we get money to rebuild, the Watch needs re-bribing, and worse, the old Watch Captain gets ousted and you can’t bribe the new one. Me.”
Mini-Chapters – Patreon Poll Mister Soot. She had so many documents on him that it was a briefcase unto itself. She’d written half of them. Damn. The old days when he’d been the Watch’s biggest problem. She put the file down and stared at the one on ‘Erin Solstice’.
10.44 Z (Pt. 1) Mister Soot. Right. He was one of the originals.”

10.44 Z (Pt. 1) Watch Captain Zevara’s search into the death of Mister Soot led her straight to her first and only witness: Mrsha du Marquin. As the girl had been kidnapped by the Raskghar, Zevara had hopes Mrsha would shed some light onto their actions.
10.44 Z (Pt. 1) Mister Soot? Nokha killed him. She and her Raskghar ate his bodyguards. And him. I thought you knew? Nokha’s dead now. Chieftain Torishi killed her.
10.44 Z (Pt. 1) Zevara spoke to her feet. She blew out some smoke from her lips and felt like she was back in the same place she’d been when she’d been reminiscing about Mister Soot.
10.44 Z (Pt. 1) This was the moment she’d felt time and again—looking Mister Soot in the eyes when he swore on truth stones he didn’t know about a murder or a disappeared artifact and realizing he’d walk out a free Drake. It was frustrating, humiliating, and she’d experienced it too often to count.
10.44 Z (Pt. 1) Asking the full range of questions meant you either had someone dead to rights or you considered them so suspect, so criminal, that you were going to dig. To be fair: sometimes you had to dig. Zevara had made Mister Soot go through that battery of questions time and again.
