The Cutty Wren

We'll shoot the cutty wren! said John the Red Nose
And who'll get the spare ribs? said Milder to Moulder
Oh we may not tell you! said Festel to Fose
We'll give them all to the poor! said John the Red Nose

It has been three years since the hubristic upstart General Källe arranged the assassination of Rickson and became the next leader of the state. His charm crackles over the crowds when he speaks, his smile ignites smouldering patriotism in a million hearts. Behind the fragile facade, he is fragmented, relying on whiskey and a powerful stimulant known as Neurospeed to even make it through the day. When the American Alliance invades the oblast of Arkhangelsk, powerful memories of his long-dead father return, and his already fractured personality fragments until only a husk remains.
