Summary

The hour of judgment is upon the Second Citadel, and its self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner sharpens his blade in wait. It may not be true that might makes right -- but if the mightiest are wrong, who can stop them from saying otherwise? Some people will do anything to protect their home. The trouble arises when others who live there disagree on what they must be protected from. Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.
