ic description: Injustice is the air the Knights breath passing it off as integrity and nobility. They have taken our family from us... our home and they must pay. We are not strong enough. We must become stronger... must become legion. Open war is the suicidal ideation of fools. From the shadows... from the side of the ring we must do battle. We must wage war against those who have cut us down. Justice will prevail.
ooc description: There will be 2 phases of attack, each one with its own thread threshold that must be met before the next phase can begin.

phase i: media and the masses. spying, experimenting and information leaking missions are the name of the game. relics of a forgotten age and creatures that should no longer exist. any kind of weakness or wrong committed by the knights is up for fair game. In this phase, each successful mission will be to the goal of causing political unrest against the knights. Thread minimum for phase i is 3 threads to trigger an event thread with 2 event threads this phase.

phase ia (optional): the second serpent. leviathan would be a helpful ally in the second phase. it would be beneficial to gain them as an ally. what better way than to aid them in their war? 2 threads with leviathan members trigger 1 optional event thread. Event thread must be triggered before phase ii.

phase ii: war of serpents. what better way to cause the chaos to continue than to get the people on your side? continue to expose atrocities and fake attacks from the helios knights in the areas around the city to sew the seeds of distrust. attacks will be purposefully placed close to the south where silvertongues forces are focused in order to provoke a response. Use this as a cover for the assassination and pin it on Silvertongue.  Thread minimum for phase ii is 4 threads to trigger an event thread this phase with 3 event threads this phase.
