The Dread Guard, new jackbooted thugs that have made their presence known on the streets of Aliso, have taken the unrest as a result of the schism at the top of the Ascendant Clan as an opportunity to ratchet up their activities in the capitol. They have been seen dragging citizens from their homes and businesses throughout the city. There have even been reports of Ascendant Legion regulars supporting the Proconsul opening fire on them in limited skirmishes. This has put you right in the middle of the conflict. Do you support the Dread Guard and the Throne, or do you stand against the chaos and oppression they are inflicting upon the Clan.

Write a fiction detailing your efforts to either assist or hinder the Dread Guard on the streets of Aliso City.
