This gives a good outline of events and also gives a chance for players to get old characters out of Anaxas without stretching credulity. We'll have to expand on this, but it does lay a nice and bloody foundation.

Oh geez, I think I remember the first fire bombing in old rose, that is probably about when some people started thinking of shipping out

I can think of at least ONE Wick with a nose for news that will be taking full advantage of any rumors that may or may not be true, that's for sure.
