Bab 121: Fear the Oriole (Part 1)

The Fen clan master's head tumbled down, and as all citizens followed its fall, silence settled on the scene. For thousands of years, the overbearing Fen clan held Burning Spear supercity in awe, propping up the racial bias and classist laws that made this supercity into a house of disgrace for non-Spirit scions. Still, the Fen never failed in their martial duties, taking pride in standing at the frontlines of all the city's conflicts.
