Calypso’s Room: Calypso and Narrante
As Calypso and Narrante talk the night away in Calypso’s room. Suddenly the talk is brought to an end with the sound of an explosion in the distance. Looking out the balcony the two Exalted woman see a fire developing besides the Duke’s manor, and a large couple of smoke rising out of the area. There is then a trio of smaller explosions that go off in succession off in the distance by the wall of Icehold, and another fire breaks out. Then turning in another direction, they can see another fire seeming to spring up along the docks in the warehouse district.
A chaos begins to take over the city as confusion reigns and fires burn.

Duke’s Palace: Anoke and Jorik
All the major issues addressed, including what to do about Diamond Refuge, resolved. Duke Walks rubs his eye in fatigue. “I think that is enough for one afternoon.†He turns to the window. “Well night now. If everyone would like I could have a light dinner ordered and…â€
What Walks was about to say is drowned out when the sound and shockwave from an explosion hits the room. The room for a moment is encased in a bright light. The glass gets blown into the room, and smoke begins to drift into the room. As everyone’s vision begins to clear from the painful light caused by the explosion they see the room turned from an orderly study into a place of chaos. There is a cry of pain, and Walks to see that his wife had been hit in the arm and side with shards of glass. “Bright!,†Walks yells in surprise and anguish. He stumbles over to her to see what he can do.
Ledaal Ginio seems to have somehow avoided the worst of the shower of glass despite being right next to one of the now glassless windows. He is seen hunching down by his chair which seems to have taken the brunt of the impact of the glass. The armor and supernatural toughness of the Exalted in the room protects them from the worst of the calamity that struck the room. Yelling, screams, and cries of pain seem to be coming from everywhere after a few, all too long and painful moments pass.

Icehold Streets Near Duke’s Palace: Impact of the Twice Taut Chain
Impact of the Twice Taut Chain walks the streets of Icehold gathering information, its various residents, and the region. It was always best to be thoroughly prepared to do ones mission. Having only recently entered the city on board the Guild merchant ship that arrived a couple of days previous.
He looks up at the sky and the seemingly endless black void that hung over this strange world. With nothing solid above him, it seemed as though he could fall forever into the sky. He had thus far not seen anyone fall into the phenomena above him, but he had seen many strange things here in this world called Creation.
In order to get a solid layout of the city, and its places. Chain finds himself near the Duke’s palace, White Haven. Apparently the Duke was some equivalent to a sole ruling Tripartite. At least that was how it was before the Exalted had recently shown up in the city in any event. Causing the whole city , and the role of its individuals, to be frustratingly hard to figure out.
Looking down far down the street near the palace Chain sees a small group of individuals pushing a cart along the streets. A pair of guards approach the card. Seemingly intent on questioning them for some reason. An argument seems to develop, and there is a slight struggle. Suddenly there is a spark by the cart, and an explosion rocks the street. Spreading rock, debris, heat, and smoke. Looking up after the explosion clears. Chain sees a hole has been blown in the wall surrounding the palace, and the palace itself partially damaged. Out of the periphery of his vision he sees at least a couple dozen cloaked individuals run across the street towards the hole in the palace walls.
