Maidar stands on the precipice of unrest. Fears grow of a shortage of food while the rebellious 'freedom fighters' seek to liberate the stores of food that the inner city holds. The nobility stand firm against the clamouring of the poorly maintained outer city and its 'greedy' inhabitants. They fear the lower classes rises to take their place by force and act to protect themselves.
All the while an underground war is afoot with unknown parties seeming to wish to stoke the flames while others try desperately to prevent any match from being struck.
