Briefing

The story takes place when Karras was in charge and his influence on the city grew stronger...

The Mechanists were eager to take over control of the city but this could be prevented by now. However, Karras is willing to do everything to achieve it, despite the costs.

The resistance increased, especially the guardian's guild, which wasn't eager to serve under Karras. They and the remains of the Hammerite order formed the core of this resistance group. Karras attracted General Morbid, a former commander of the Baron's army, to his side and the tides in the conflict started to change.
The general, suspended from military service, was now Karras’ right hand and willing to act unscrupulously without hesitation.

First, he outlawed the guardian's guild and disbanded all private security services. He banned any private use and possession of weapons of all kinds and finally he "cleaned" the city of all local aristocrats, like Ramirez, Bafford, Donal, Reuben ...
He smashed their estates and their inhabitants where never seen again.

Some city districts resisted and despite the ban on weapons, arsenals were filled and the people ready to fight.
The Mechanists had to retreat into their territories but continued their reign of terror.
All the refugees seemed to have vanished and talk about a hidden retreat circulated through the city. In addition to that, there were rumors about a mysterious order with members well trained in the arts of fighting, spying, infiltration and assassination. Their guerrilla tactics seem to work well on the Mechanists...

When General Morbid heard of these rumors, he banned all public meetings and imposed a curfew at night. In an attempt to regain control of the situation, he commanded his elite fighters to wipe out any resistance they might find.

In the midst of all this chaos, a messenger appeared to bring Garrett a letter from the Keepers, referring to the "Book of Prophecies" which vanished out of their secret library. The one who owns this book may change the city forever...
