<em><strong>Week Six</strong></em><br/><br/>The powers that be continue to loom taller and stronger in the Slums. Conflict between Mother Freya and Kieri's alliance seems inevitable and yet it has not come, not in the form of violence in any event. The three way divide in power continues, putting all on edge the closer they are to the borders. The petty criminals of the slum are forced into these uncontrolled areas, making the narrow strips of no man's land the most dangerous places to be of all, yet leaving the other areas peaceful, almost disturbingly peaceful. The people feel as though they live under a bell jar that is about to shatter, sure that Kieri's alliance and Mother Freya and Broken Sky are due for a showdown, a mighty one, and yet...not today.<br/><br/>There may be some others at work here, but their impact is muted, barely felt.<br/><br/><strong>Tagging Kieri</strong><br/><br/>Big Snuffles has been hard at work! A lot of ground has been cleared for what will be an aqueduct that will pipe in water from a nearby river to supply wells and sewers, some of which will need to be dug and some of which will need renovation as derelicts. The woolly loxodon though works as hard and as mightily as several dozen goblins or humans could, and Kieri cannot help but be impressed by the results! There is still a lot to be done though.<br/><br/><em>The utility project is 25% complete! Snuffles will keep working on it unless instructed otherwise! Let me know here or via PM if you'd like him to switch to something else!</em><br/><br/><strong>Tagging Mother Freya</strong><br/><br/>Saurus is present in church for services. He seems on edge, hungry, not sated but not frustrated either. His presence garners a mixed response from the other petitioners. While everyone fears his might, many are also starting to see that having him on their side is a blessing. A blessing from Aros. From Freya. Is she more than just a reassuring presence? Some are starting to say it is so.<br/><br/><em>Details sent via PM.</em>
