The Rekindled Fire, a faction for Blades in the Dark:

THE REKINDLED FIRE — TIER II

Information brokers and spies recruiting ghosts into their ranks and using a secret drug to keep them lucid.

FACTION CLOCKS:

Turf: Trendy bar down a back alley in Nightmarket (HQ), makeshift electroplasmic chemical lab hidden in the Lost District

NPCs: Leander (leader, former Reconciled, meticulous, resolute), Dr. Everett (disgraced researcher, clever, smug, ambitious), Charlie (ghost, indebted, young, naive), Deacon (ghost, new recruit, skeptical, observant)

Notable Assets: The formula and supplies for Stabilizer, a drug that can be administered to ghosts and prevents them from going feral.

Quirks: Several of the ranks of The Rekindled Fire are recently-dead, and each ghost they recruit requires Stabilizer to remain in control of themself.

Allies: The Wraiths, The Path of Echoes

Enemies: The Reconciled, The Silver Nails, Spirit Wardens

Situation: The Rekindled Fire have grown quickly since they established a foothold. Dr. Everett’s formula and Leander’s knowledge of tactics used by The Reconciled (from whom he defected) allows them to recruit spirits and collect valuable secrets, so long as they keep Stabilizer on hand. Powerful enemies seek to destroy their formula, pursuing them even in the Lost District, and The Reconciled presume Leander is leading a petty rebellion against their designs, but Leander has loftier ambitions and imagines a Doskvol where spirits need not be obliterated as a matter of course.
