  • Especially if the player characters are part of this group.
• What about the people who live in the nation where the Exilarchy has established itself? Are they members of the same group as well? If not, they might resent these intruders - especially if they are now in the minority or even subjugated…
  • Alternatively they can end up being rolled into some kind of Bay of Pigs style fiasco…
