Kilna
Type: Thaylen port city Status on arrival: Mid-revolt, dark-eyes vs. light-eyes Status on departure: Defended, evacuated, one tyrant fewer
Overview
Kilna was already coming apart when the party showed up — a Thaylen port city where the dark-eyed population had finally had enough of the light-eyed status quo and said so, loudly. The party’s answer to an incoming mercenary army was to turn the whole city into a trap: pits, ambush points, and whatever Kael could rig up with the time available, all deployed against a force marching in under Shardbearer backing. It worked, which is more than can be said for most plans built around “let’s just booby-trap an entire city.”
Somewhere in the middle of all that, the party interrogated and executed the tyrannical city lord Stukov — no great loss to anyone, least of all Kilna — while Tasni handled the evacuation of the dark-eyed population out to the Reshi Isles, getting the people the fighting was actually for safely out of the blast radius before things got worse. How exactly Sebarial threads into all of this, the record doesn’t spell out in much detail — the connection’s there, filed and cross-referenced, but the specifics apparently didn’t make it into anyone’s notes.
Key Events
- Interrogation and execution of Stukov.
- Tasni’s evacuation of the dark-eyed population to the Reshi Isles.
