The Ríastrad

What are the consequences of pushing One too far? Ryan's Ríastrad - the famed Irish "Battle-Frenzy" - is the Answer. Civil Unrest remains a threat to the Citizens of 'Salem. Recognizing the plays for power, Frankie Fasthands - like Charlie Treadway, years prior - returns in an attempt to dissolve the current incarnation of the Triumvirate. Ryan realizes that those who defy Death are destined for self-torture in the Guilty Spaces of his Grandfather's Realm. Unwilling to commit to this belief, the Doc-Rua enlists the aid of Rilke - who has returned to Interfere upon Frankie's behalf. Ryan continues to question his family's supposed "neutrality", and as he concludes the role Time plays in his own existence - the Doc-Rua begins to allow a self-destructive Singularity to grow within him while Rilke gathers the Memories of The Lost upon the White Stone Path.
At the Center of the City, Hilo has somehow engineered a method of wiping out the Memory of the Old World to make way for his New One. The only option to battle the "Brights" of his Panopticon is a less than savory option - for the only thing that can combat this power is that of The Night. Thus, an old trickster is called upon and invited to "set things right". With this apparent furlough, Seventeen is able to fulfill the actual vow, as intended, between himself and his oldest enemy and foe.
