The Sundered Houses executed the producer-playwright's brother last week

That brother was the leader of a failed revolution against the power of the Sundered Houses

This play is about a failed uprising of the orcs against Azgra, possibly the last one that failed before they were finally successful

Hal finished writing this over a month ago, well before Thjazi was arrested and executed. Dol-Makjar KNEW what this play was about.

Executing Thjazi a week before his brother opened a play about the glory of a failed revolutionary...this is an own goal on the part of the Sundered Houses.

Azune Nayar asked a friend to subtly judge how many of the fired Revolutionary Guard and other hired guards around town would be willing to stand against the Sundered Houses.

Over 350 people somehow heard the call and responded "Yes."

Dol-Makjar is where Azgra ruled. After he fell, it became the seat of the uprising against the Shapers. It is an orcish city.

Shadia, daughter of Halandil Fang and Thaisha Lloy, rehearsed with Pariah Blades disguised with paint. When the blades met, the ringing reverberated in the blood of every orc present, filling them with pride and vitality.

Shadia also painted the backdrops of the set with the paint her uncle sent via Bolaire.

The paint exhibits a very minor enchantment, but that minor enchantment is hiding a much larger magical effect. One that might be triggered by the performance of a play.

A play that is taking place in The Hallowed Round, what was previously known as the Dithyramb of Azgra. Where Azgra demanded worship and worked great scopes of magic. And when Hal casts magic there, in the language of the orcs, it's mostly stagecraft. Mostly.

The way the venue is shaped, sound travels from the stage throughout the city.

A city of orcs

Who will hear the ringing of the Pariah Blades

As an undetermined magical effect is triggered

During a play about the last failed orcish revolt

Written and produced by Halandil Fang

One week after his brother Thjazi was killed

and at least 350 veterans of his rebellion have already heard the Cry

Julien: absolutely not

Rewatching the latest episode has made me realise something. That House Halovar is so much more dangerous than House Tachonis, and that is because of a very powerful tool they have. Before It was that House Halovar was the overt power while Tachonis is the subtle power. The image of house halovar is that they are like: "LOOK AT US! LOOK AT OUR GROWING NUMBER! IS IT NOT GREAT?!" while Tachonis works in the shadows to get shit done.

But that works against them. Even the average person when they hear about the reputation of House Tachonis is that they are "Shady necromancer with a mansion in the realm of death and they are soo spooky" and every person would go "Oh of course they are up to some shady shit and evil deeds. Better keep an eye on them". But House Halovar has the public reputation of being a religion and about light and being just a bunch of boastful rich people. And that works so well for them because they want it that way. They have cultivated that image to gain the most powerful tool in the world:

Being Underestimated

Of course all eyes are going to be on the shady necromancers and not on a bunch of silly light religion people. And that allows them to do their own schemes. Now making House Tachonis the Overt Power because everyone knows what their deal is: "Shady Powerfull Necromancer will obviously do shady evil things". While House Halovar is the subtle Power: In that while presenting the image of religions rich people, behind closed door they are harvesting angel blood and demon contracts.

AND NOW, Yanessa had gotten so much more popularity and credit because she is now in the publics eye the First Resurrection in the world since the death of the gods. And its all because of her devotion to the Light. House Tachonis in their arrogance is stretching themselves thin while House Halovar is getting more and more power and credit and the public support.
