Hadrian has set the bar for the War of Blood and Thunder in the Wizard World and the Rebellion that the Necromancers were waging to his people for his former heritage. He has all the cards lined up and ready to be used as he wants...he only needs time to execute his plans.
His courtesans danced with him dangerously as they all smiled with bright eyes and beamed amid the Villa and the Underground Palace as the Jewels of the Royal Court of Courtesans.

But the game was going to soon become deadly.
Hadrian had mocked the Rebellion by showing this; he wanted to enrage them. To show he wasn't scared of them. To prove that he and his clan would fight for their survival; down to the last bloody claw, if needs must...
