==Publisher's | == Publisher's summary == | ||
=== Faction Paradox website === | |||
An arms race in under three minutes, courtesy of [[Shuncucker|Cousin Shuncucker]]; the [[Godparent (rank)|Godfathers]] make an unlikely wager; [[Demetra Kine|a criminal mastermind]] explains her grudge against [[Faction Paradox|the Faction]], or at least one particular member; [[Justine McManus|Justine]] gets blooded and learns the rules of the hunt; [[Mr Smith (A Labyrinth of Histories)|the minotaur]] in [[records library|the library]] introduces himself; and the [[Great Houses]] send in the troops while the bearer of the Grandfather's shadow takes on the world. | |||

6: [[Mr Smith (A Labyrinth of Histories)|MR SMITH]] | |||
Era: Non-specific, sub-historical.<br /> | |||
Technology: Irrelevant. | |||
It's now acknowledged that the [[Great Houses]] were largely responsible for creating the current shape of [[history]], not simply by interfering in major events (although they may have dabbled) but by engineering the entire framework of history as a [[Web of Time|single definite structure]]. What's less well-known is just how easy it is to access that structure's foundations. | |||
Before [[War in Heaven|the War]], it was usual for Great House installations to be linked to the Houses' "[[records library]]", buried in the framework beneath normal time: though the War made these access-points a liability, many still exist, and encounters with [[Mr Smith (A Labyrinth of Histories)|the library's guardian]] aren't unknown... | |||
