No one remembers which came first, the Crows or Crow's Foot, but since the beginning they've been entwined. Other powers have held the district over the years, but inevitably it has fallen back into the hands of the Crows. This latest incarnation of the Crows has been very successful in brokering peace between rival factions bent on bloodshed like the Lampblacks and the Red Sashes. A lot of this success was attributed to the Crows former leader Roric who was recently overthrown by his second-in-command Lyssa. Now Lyssa runs the Crows and by extension the district.
Lyssa is many things. She's brash, she's imaginative, but she's also a killer and a leader. Her second-in-command Bell is the perfect combination of a lack of ambition and loyalty. Together they strangle out the last death spasms of Roric's leadership by ousting those who were loyal to him and securing support from those just looking to advance.
In the midst of this power-play, the other factions are on the move, and while Lyssa sees this happening, she can't as of yet commit her forces to it. It's a space that's ripe for opportunity for crews that have the stones and cunning to seize it.
