Summary

Marielda is a city filled with scoundrels. Bakers lean on the scales as they count loaves of bread. Men and women in pubs shoot loaded dice. Art dealers swear, solemnly swear, that this is a genuine Sabbatini, just look at the brushstrokes. No, scoundrels in Marielda are ten-a-penny. But sometimes, the sun smiles, and its light shines upon those who have something… particular about them. Look, there they are now. A strongman, binding up his fists in front of a mirror. A dancing master, marking time with a dagger. A little alchemist emerging from a cloud of something purplish. And an alabaster figure, face covered by the wide brim of a hat. Step forward into the light, my friends.

When I see your face, it's like lookin' into a mirror.

0:00.0	It has been 15 years since the forces of the Boy Trader Samat were turned away from Marielda by the violent ingenuity of the artificer divine Samothies.
0:12.0	Thousands died in the final battle of the war and so the people of
0:15.8	Marietta gathered to rebuild again. Except now, with the esoteric machines of the
0:21.3	father inventor,
0:22.7	Marietta regained itself at speed,
0:25.1	and with speed it has changed.
0:28.2	The city has re-aligned itself, splitting into six parishes,
0:32.2	each centered around the church of Samothies, and each corralling a disparate crowd into a compact mass.
0:38.0	New walls and buildings have sprung into place ready made, lifted up by the unseen pistons of the Holy
0:44.2	apparatus. The deep abyss where the Tower of Mages once stood has bloom verdled
0:49.5	into an architectural and natural wonder, the hanging gardens of Malden a monument to the missing son of Mariela and in the southeast
0:57.7	the factories have remained factories and the only thing that's changed about the refugee camp is there's less room and more people.
1:06.0	After all, a war is on.
1:08.0	And the living soldiers of Samothies himself have marched out of Marielda and into Hiron to confront Samant once again.
1:16.1	In their absence, Mariela broils.
1:19.1	Automatic constables, frustrated exiles, and the petty politics of the wealthy, and the struggles of those
1:25.2	who dream they might be. Oh, Oh, The Oh, Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh,
