<strong><em>Week One</em></strong><br/><br/>The slums are a hotbed of activity!<br/><br/>A brazen bank robbery led by an eye-catching woman has the few money-makers who were investing in or exploiting (depending on who you ask) the slums rather shook. Even in times of anarchy they always felt that they, above the rabble, would receive the protection of the city guard. This attack shows otherwise. Things are changing, but for the better? Only time will tell.<br/><br/>Calls for equality and better treatment for the goblin kind have manifested as an attack on Princess Red's statues, the Princess has a notoriously poor opinion of goblins, and a notoriously high opinion of statues of herself, so this is seen as a direct assault on the leadership of Hexville! Just a few weeks ago such a thing would have united the city against anyone who would dare besmirch the beloved King. These days...these days things are much less clear. Many non-humans find themselves asking if the equal treatment they enjoyed under King Fred is really already gone, and if so, do they need to fight to get it back? Heated discussions take place at taverns all over the slums.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, a new church has appeared, and offered one of the few spots of stability and peace in the increasingly volatile slums. While nobody seems to know much about this new God or his followers, they do know that the bread and calm they offer are real. Such things go a long way in these turbulent times.<br/><br/>The working class of Hexville were braced to be the first hit in the chaos of Red's rule. This week shows some they were right to worry, and others that there is cause for hope. But what will the future bring?<br/><br/>
