Chapter 21
  • LOCATION Location: About thirty members strong on the page, whitelisted into the Royal Court's personal space by Katia; averaging level 25, a good deal behind Hekla's own 33
  • TAG Official Party: Two personal spaces combined rather than the Royal Court's own conjoined setup; per Hekla, not enough to unlock guest whitelisting on their own side yet, one space purchase short
  • OBJECTIVE Objective: Rescue roughly a thousand crawlers boxed in at station 101 on the Vermillion line, using a captured train fitted with Katia Grim as a living cowcatcher
Chapter 24
  • TAG Official Party: Effectively dissolving per Silfa: Hekla's death automatically made Eva the party's new leader, members are leaving because they dislike her, and the group is down to almost no equipment or personal space of its own
Chapter 25
  • TAG Official Party: Done for good, the remaining Daughters hold back from the fight at station 75 and scatter into the crowd rather than follow Eva, and Carl privately thinks it's for the best, since Hekla had built the whole group around herself and her crossbow with too many healers and mages and no tank
