Amhrain na Preachan
Summary
- Dearest love, hearest though my voice, still? Darkness will surely settle on your golden age. But one day, your tiny ashes will dance across thy golden wake of death.
- In the twilight of a golden era, a storm brews on the horizon, a tempest years in the making. The steadfast team of Seattle Software and Special Investigations braces for an onslaught that promises to end their era of prosperity for now and ever more. This looming threat, born of ancient grudges and broken promises, carries with it the chilling whispers; the golden wake of death. The vengeful "Thief-of-Names" and the enigmatic "Golden-Eyed King" emerge from the shadows, their intentions clear: to toy with and ultimately destroy the leader of S3I. These malevolent forces have woven a tapestry of deceit and malice, seeking to bring an end to the light that S3I has fought so tirelessly to maintain.
- Your eyes are so week, outsider. You are always so transfixed... Tell me, what do you see? Danger? Enemies? Your eyes are full, like you have gazed upon god himself...
- In the heart of Seattle, that storm gathers, ominous and unyielding. The city caught in a battle waged between shadowy organizations, stands firm in the face of chaos. Residents go about their lives, unaware of the forces at play, their days painted with the ordinary colors of routine and hope. Yet, beneath the surface, an ancient struggle brews, set to upend the pillars of their community. Seattle's skyline now casts long shadows over its streets. Whispers of unrest float on the wind, carried by the unseen currents of malice and smoldering ideals. The clash between two formidable forces—the enigmatic Unseelie Fae and the relentless S3I—permeates the air, a silent war waged in the alleys and avenues.
- For all this time, you have never told me your name. Why not give it to me, after all this time?
- The city's vibrant pulse is disrupted by strange occurrences, inexplicable yet undeniable. Glimmers of magic and echoes of conflict leave marks in unexpected places: Twins separated, a daughter lost, the lingering scent of something ancient and wild. Seattle’s residents feel a shift, a tremor in the fabric of their reality, but they grasp at straws, unable to name the source of their unease. The Unseelie Fae move through the city like a dark wind, their intentions cloaked in shadow. They play upon the heartstrings of the unsuspecting, leaving trails of discord and disquiet. Their influence is subtle yet pervasive, threading through the lives of the innocent, sowing seeds of confusion and fear.
- It was not necessary. You and I have traveled together. We have run from the courts, I took the arrows they fired from the sky for you, we ate and slept together. With your eyesight, I protected you as my sister. We do not need names, only eachother... You who questioned the court... our bond is greater than names.
- Opposing them, the members of S3I operate with a determined precision, their presence a bulwark against the encroaching darkness. Their struggle is relentless, their tactics a blend of technology and tenacity. The battles they fight are often unseen, their victories and losses marked by the quiet resilience of those they protect. And at the heart of this kingdom of gold lies the dark secret that caused one woman to build walls between herself and the world. One secret that set in motion the destruction of lives and livings of so many so far, and threatens to claim countless more in the wanton destruction of anything that stands between these two unstoppable forces. he struggle between the Unseelie Fae and S3I; the quarrel set in place over a decade ago, stands to rip apart all of S3I and everyone connected to it, until all that's left of the nest is the blackbird's feathers, waiting for the dawn that follows the tempest.
- Then as a sign of our bargain, I will give you my name first. My name is...

The Unseelie Fae
Seattle finds itself ensnared in the subtle but pervasive influence of the Unseelie Fae yet again, whose presence is embodied by the enigmatic figures of Rehr, Sulla, and the elusive Leliel. These fae entities, with origins deeply rooted in the darker recesses of the Unseelie Court, have ventured into the human realm, casting a foreboding shadow over the city. Currently the Unseelie have proven to be influential over multiple people and an organization within Seattle, Pixy Squad.

Veterans of Pixy Pixy Squad
Pixy Squad stands against S3I in aide of the Unseelie Fae. Once a specialized military unit operating under the auspices of Telestrian Industries, Pixy Squad's presence in the city is not merely coincidental; rather, it is intricately linked to the unfolding metaplot that pits mortal forces against supernatural machinations. In the aftermath of their devastating losses during the Aztec Amazonia war, Pixy Squad, under leadership of Nywen Lynch, faced an uncertain future. The resurrection of the unit, orchestrated by surviving members, Telestrian officials, and external allies, marked a turning point in Pixy Squad's history. However, after their defeat against S3I in november of last year, they restructured under the leadership of someone claiming to be Sulla, here also known as Jessica Brinly. This revival coincided with a shift in objectieves, shrouded in mystery and obscured from rhyme or reason.
