6 Characters

“Near the inlet of Saltsjön there is a small untouched place at the bottom of a mighty tower. There is still time before the place takes on its intended task for the infrastructure of the Kingdom. That is when they come, the six characters. Perhaps they came alongside the water or on the roads. They are now standing at the slump, a small ensemble acting as residential area. People will inhabit them. They will find their rooms and their movements. Maybe they will stay longer or maybe they are gone tomorrow.”
