His arrival terrified the other fey, and they left the capital immediately. Some local criminals, not as wise as the fey, fell into the hunter's traps. Watching them struggle amused him no end. They won't be returning to the criminal life any time soon. |

| 3 | The guards arrested several of the dark fey. They were crucified and put on display – all except their leader. Her life was traded for a promise to leave the city. |
