Military action
Alamais's runners attack Mount Shasta.
Alamais hires runners to march on Mount Shasta. They burn large swathes of the forests surrounding the mountains, and kill every shaman and Northern Cresent gypsy that they find. When Hestaby is able to intervene, the battle is over within minutes. Later, Lone Star investigators find evidence of the use of Surtr, a nanotech weapon famously used by terrorists during the Crash 2.0.
