[[File:February.png|thumb|February, a member of the Calendar Council]]The Calendar Council is the primary revolutionary organization in London. Its members, named after the months of the year, oppose [[The Echo Bazaar|the Bazaar]] and [[The Masters of the Bazaar|the Masters]], although their long-term goal is a far-reaching anarchist plot they call the Liberation of Night. The philosophy behind it is spreading across the Unterzee and up to the Surface, and may possibly predate the Council itself.

"Some call them the dynamite faction, but they're very far from united. Socialists, anarchists, foreign agents: only their hatred of the Masters unites them."[1]

Most Revolutionaries oppose the Bazaar and the Masters, though this group... isn't really a group.

The Calendar Council[edit]

The most organized group of revolutionaries in London is the Calendar Council - though even they don't get along in all aspects. Its members, named after the months of the year, are for the most part plotting and planning for their end goal, the Liberation of Night. The philosophy behind it is spreading across the Unterzee and up to the Surface, and predates the Council itself.[2]

Past Revolutionaries[edit]

Related Factions[edit]

Some other groups have desires to upend the status quo of the Neath, the world, or the whole of the Is. They have some ties to the Revolutionaries, but don't share the goals of the Calendar Council or most of the street-level revolutionaries; they do not appear preoccupied with the Masters or Night at all.

Other Revolutionaries[edit]
