After months of total withdrawal from public affairs, the Alvaret house has finally reappeared and with it, a message that has set the town abuzz.
The new head of the family, Archaios Alvaret, announced that their absence was due to work on a major technological breakthrough.
"We have developed a new form of intelligence, capable of transforming the foundations of society."

No further details were released, and we have very little information about this new family head. The announcement did, however, receive the approval of the Council of Six, which reaffirmed the family's role as the city's intellectual beacon.
Speculation is rife, but one thing is certain: House Alvaret is back, and something has changed.
