The Penitent Damned

Initial Brief

In recent weeks the rate of magical “accidents” throughout the city has been rocketing to almost unprecedented levels even by the lofty standards of Acryn. The recent swathe of atrocities combined with the long and storied history of magical malpractice within Acryn has led to the council to consider several bills to severely limit or ban numerous magical practises. In response the college of the stars has set about quietly hiring a group of competent individuals to block this vote by getting to the bottom of the recent incidents hopefully finding some form of exonerating evidence or if not some other way to stop the bills going through.

Debrief

In the aftermath of the revelations that Gaspard Cargan was working with the penitent damned to try to force through the anti-magic measures on the council they mostly fall through. One solitary measure is passed creating a new offence on the statute books for the reckless or foolish use of magic, this is mostly to appease those who believe magic should be more tightly restricted.

The trial of Gaspard Cargan goes through with almost unseemly haste and he is executed for treason against the city. Control of house Cargan remains nominally with the duchess but in reality the true power now lies with Walter and Vinchenzo Cargan.

After Dorf talks to the council about the wayfinders guild and is backed up by felicity the council starts making moves led by Olivia darrish to force the guild into greater transparency and accountability, presumably as a stepping stone to attempting to abolish it entirely. This meets resistance however and is currently ongoing.

The Raven women has remained in the Custody of house Cargan. Whilst there is an active effort being made to track down the binding Mage as his appearance is circulated.
