The Harts regain control of Londinium, previously taken by the lich AEthelwold. Clean up commences thereafter as the enemy have left a number of unliving to be dealt with.
The Turnkey Court continue to harass the Harts as they did throughout 1118, offering a magical box to send messages through. The rogue justice that they deal is seen by some subjects as preferable to the King’s justice, and a party from Oxford visit to declare independence from the rule of law and claiming they will answer to the Turnkey Court instead.
