The Ancient Assembly is attempting to create another demonic invasion but kicking off with mass attack from Sunwood, destroying leadership and stength before any reaction can take place, their plan so far has been slowed but the interupption of shipments and the traitor Dazran who is still undercover. She will immediately switch sides moment she is exposed, if allied she propose attacking the Gold Alliance to draw out invasion location and additional info, as with the failed shipments and whispers of a traitor they've been locking down more

They are using a large unfinished forge beneath the city as a staging site for the invasion, they're being funded by the Gold Alliance under the promise that their leadership won't be harmed and will hold positions of power after the invasion.

Torment of Claws know Blackfyre is a notable threat but are also aware of a larger plot, they plan to strike when Blackfyre is weak. Ansley will lead the attack, sending Vaughan as an open attack to weaken further or if 'the coward' does kill Blackfyre then the loose ties will be weakened
