Episode Notes

We have been in Low Road for a scant few hours and already I can feel the pulse of the city humming just out of earshot. This is a city built on waterways and trade so it is only natural that the current of its people never rests.

But beneath it all there is a silent, deadly thread of stagnation.

It is more noticeable here than it is in a city like Tommerby, who has to fight to survive on their own. Low Road, for all its commerce and information networks, is one that relies on things working in an exact way. Always the possibility for things to tip one way or the other, but never enough momentum to topple the structure.

Bodahn Liis wants to throw himself at the unsteady fulcrum, and he thinks that Marcel Sharpe is the piece that will weigh the odds in his favor. We have been given six hours to convince both him and Janek the risk that comes with toppling the gameboard is worth it, but there are better ways than the Sharpes to get what you want.
