The Arrow in Blackmouth

The talons of the Adamantine Arrow have watched Blackmouth fracture itself endlessly for centuries. They have been sentinels, wardens, hunters, and guards, but only rarely leaders, and suffered for their price when they attempted to take that role. During the chaos of the 19th century, the Arrows of Blackmouth attempted to command the Concilium to protect it and the city from the chaos wrought by the Rebirth. They forgot that the Fifth Phalanx of the Adamant Way - A Throne is a Prison - and only relearned that lesson in the pain and blood and tumult of the Upheaval.

Since those darker days the Arrow has remained in the shadows of power, balancing the ambitions of others while refusing the poisoned chalice of rulership, and standing as memento mori for those who would take up a throne. They keep watch, for that which attempts to seep through the cracks in the world or would attempt to use them, and for those who would stir chaos within the fragile peace of the Concilium. For existence is war and the Arrow stands ready.

The preeminent talon in the city is Rosethorn, the Sentinel of the Concilium, a cold and lethally serious woman who detests politics and approaches all obstacles like a blitzkrieg. Her cabal, the Withered Paw Society, is a semi-paramilitary group that acts as an extension of her will and role as Sentinel.
