===Setting Details===
Basically, Denandsor is isolated, but has a great deal of wealth. Lookshy has location and legitimacy, but is recovering from a grievous blow. A working set of Auspicious Passage Gates between the cities were rediscovered by the Solar Circle, letting them transport personnel and goods instantly. While their governance of Lookshy is strictly "temporary", it seems obvious to the average man on the street that the Solars are likely there to stay. Trusted thaumaturges and savants are allowed into Denandsor, and are reactivating factory-cathedrals and the like.

The (formerly) Lost City is protected by both the surviving automata and booby traps, but also by its still-imposing reputation, giving the Circle a measure of security. They are also running Lookshy, but serve primarily as "protectors"; while they can intervene in the city's politics, their main focus is helping rebuild the badly-damaged Seventh Legion. Denandsor and Lookshy are fast becoming sister cities; while this not only strengthens the River Confederation and its leaders, it also serves worry both the Deathlord Mask of Winters, and the Realm, to boot.<br>As can be imagined, Lookshy and Denandsor are rather pleased by this.
