As Peitha planned to haul the defeated Queen Labris to the Coliseum of the Midnight King and show the Kryptis the might of her rebellion, General Nephus quickly caught my attention. While he had reservations with Peitha's chosen course of action, he felt that it should be performed in front of the largest audience possible—that if this was going to be the plan, we should go all in.
The general sent me to find an elder Kryptis, Tecla the Venerable, back at the forward bivouac. She had knowledge of an array of beacons spread across Inner Nayos. These would serve as a call to the people of Inner Nayos, drawing them to the coliseum and giving Peitha a massive crowd to draw support from.
I activated the beacons as quickly as I could while Peitha and our allies marched on Nyedra. With a massive crowd assembled and the defiant Queen Labris now a feeble captive, Peitha stood on the cusp of bringing the vast majority of the Kryptis people to her cause.
