You were in royalty, watching from the castle, overlooking the streets below from your window in your room. You always wondered what it was like down there. Why were they fighting?

That's how you got here, disguised as a commoner lurking the streets. You saw a protest where there was carnage. It looked horrible, but you wanted to know why. You tried to get a better look when you heard someone coughing in the alleyway near you. You turned to see a tall man with his face cut and bleeding.
