Akiol stood atop a tall building within Settleworth. His slime made cloak fluttering as the sun started to set. This player ran city, he had spent a bit of time looking into its history. Regard Truth performed a sort of hostile takeover, forcefully seizing the city.
This was naturally because it was a hotspot for grinding. So they made a lot of income doing this. However several NPCs were killed during this takeover. The players pushed the survivors out of their homes, claiming more of the city until it was ran by exclusively players.
Here Akiol intended to make his statement, pointing his blade towards the player base. By making an enemy of everyone he could draw the attention away from Mira and Givale. Forcing the players to hunt him instead of them.
Right now. . . despite losing so much of his strength Akiol felt so free.
