<strong><em>Week Five</em></strong><br/><br/>While areas of safety were more common than previously, the Slums as a whole were the most dangerous they'd ever been!<br/><br/>Several distinct camps had formed. Those who backed Kieri and her allies, those who backed the Church of Aros, and those who were loyal to the old ways - the ways of Broken Sky fighting the criminals of the slums in a perpetual struggle of law and chaos. But things were more complicated now.<br/><br/>There weren't huge brawls or exchanges of gunfire the way things were in the Docks. Rather the Slums felt more like a forest that had suddenly gone quiet, with predators lurking behind every corner. The people flocked to where they knew they would be safe, resulting in large stretches of the Slums becoming almost practically the property of Kieri and her friends, or Mother Freya.<br/><br/>The people were torn. Which was the path to salvation for them? More and more were realizing it was not to cower in the fear of mobsters or Broken Sky. Kieri and her allies had the favor of the slums at the moment, but it was far from sure who, if anyone, could take control of this district first.
