From the introduction: The Autocrat of Nishanpur rules the city with an iron fist, and by virtue of the assurance that he is divinely Chosen to lead the Swords of Nier. With the disappearance of the Sword of the Heavens almost a year ago, the Autocrat himself now stands as the ultimate symbol of the purity and righteousness of the Swords' cause. But what if the Autocrat isn't as pure as he seems? On the darkest night of the year, accusations and rumors fly, blades glint in the torchlight, and the truth will be revealed, suppressed, or manufactured as the victors see fit. This adventure is Part Three of the Confessions and Consequences story arc. This LIVING ARCANIS adventure is designed for 1st to 9th level characters.
