A large dome like room with many levels that was filled with people from all around. Each and every one of them were peering down into the center of the room where a sandy floor was making it look like a windowless coliseum. At the top one extremely large chandelier was hanging, slightly laminating the room.

A man, black as night walked in. his robes were that of a monk, plain white with gold trimming around the neck, wrists and ankles where it ended showing his head, hands and feet. He was heavily decorated with gold bracelets, anklets and necklaces. Earrings decorated his ears going from the cartilage at the bottom to his bald raven head. His feet and hands were bare of these adornments and took the color of the floor below him. His head was decorated with red markings that danced all around and twisted, turned into a single of centered hexagon.

The people inched forward as the southern monk raised his hands to silence the others. As each and every person in the room silenced he dropped his hands.

"My brothers and sisters, friends, I come before you all today to spread my thoughts on our Empire. While our soldiers were off at the crusades, our empress was basking in the life of royalty! Squeezing money out of every possible person! Leaving farmers and their families to starve! Hell, leaving everyone starving in the streets! Dethrone Nastasia!" he raised up his fist in revolt as the rest of the crowd cheered.

"All hail Salvatti! All hail Salvatti!" they chanted. At the top of the coliseum was a set of five heavily armored men.

The first and fifth were very short and very fat. They both had long grey hair and a matching beard that hid his chin. His eyes were grey with hazel speckles while the other was missing his left. Their noses were quite large for their faces, as were their cheeks. Their mustaches formed into their beards and hid their upper lip. Their lower lips were rather thick and pouted heavily. The first had broad shoulders and hunched over when he sat, while the fifth sat straight up and was missing his left leg.

The second and third were twins. Both had short red hair, green eyes and freckles. Their bodies, unlike their predecessor, were lean and tall. The two looked to be about one forth of his age.

The forth was, like the twins, tall and narrow. He looked to be much older and possibly wiser. He had only one usable eye, his left, while a black patch covered his right. From the top and the curved bottom was a scar that disappeared under the patch and reappeared at the bottom.

The chanting slowly moved to a different name and saying "Imogen! Imogen!"
