As news of Kir's slaughtering of the slavers worked its way up Amrita's branches, a sort of chaos began to unfold.
Word from Norneau that Ghostheart had departed finally began to circulate, as did the truth that he was now stalking the very heart of the Amrita Kingdom.
Anxious slaveowners approached the King's ministers, hoping to offload the people they considered assets and property until mere days ago. At the same time, Syndicate warehouses began to suffer from theft and abandonment by their guards, as Kir took care of the more difficult locations in the crown of the world tree by slaughtering the guards and liberating the Syndicate's captives.
True to her word, Imogen managed to quietly distribute copies of Kordia's work detailing Ghostheart's fight, which was limited to what Kir had accomplished in Norneau but still gave people an idea of what to expect and what his side of the story was.
