Right, for people in Tavark, the city is being taken, slowly and quietly. The invaders have the advantage of surprise and familiarity. Most defenders will simply lower their weapons and welcome their old friends back. Most civilians are still asleep. The officers of the watch are being killed, and the normal guards are either surrendering or standing aside. Eimund is a charismatic former defender of the city, and he was well liked in his time. They also want the city intact, so destruction is being kept to a minimum. The main Tavark army is outside the walls helping with storm salvage, so will be unaware of the takeover. This chapter is designed to be an occupation story, with most factions not wanting the city to be torn apart by fighting. Complicity is rampant.
