The following report was obtained from Linnet, a former operative for the High King
The High King has not been seen in public for quite some time, and the city is now operated by his Chancellor, Agravaine. The armies of the High King and soldiers and guards of the city have stopped taking orders and hide in their garrisons on the Walls. This has turned the City into a lawless place, which each district being overseen or controlled by various factions that now vie for control. Additionally, the High King's pet Drakes circle the city during the Day, hunting for... something.
The following is a break down of the Factions and their key personnel.
The Enemy Factions

The Wildcard Factions
