confirmed most of it … apparently having information sources as yet unknown to his allies.

Moving in force, Alexandria led what appears to have been the final assault on her enemy.  As the Library where Krystyna’s force gathered was set alight, Alexandria’s force prepare for battle.  And it waged fiercely within the fire consumed night.  As the Library and its nearest building lit the sky, rage and steel met.  
Turning his back on Krystyna’s child “Istvan”, Johan went after Benedec and eventually took his head.
Istvan was brought low by Tamas’ mortifying powers, and the arrows that rained into the battle from the darkness without.  And mortal allies of both sides were left strewn across the streets.  At the end of the battle, though, the seemingly torpored body of Istvan had vanished, Benedec was dead, Krystyna and Tamas Madas (her childe) had escaped.

Meanwhile, Krystyna and Tamas Madas fled the scene, followed by the stealthy Eugene.  They found asylum in a warehouse across town, unaware of Eugene’s presence outside.  Once dawn came, that Warehouse was engulfed in flames … lit by the Settite’s mortal allies.  The same allies reported that some people fled the conflagration.

Investigations the next night found several bodies inside, but only one with fangs.

A week later, Alexandria called together her forces in the Castle Petreu … where her triumphant husband had claimed his own.  

As there had been neither battle, nor scent of enemy, since that night Alexandria felt it time to claim her praxis of the city.  And began the settling of her forces into the domain.  Deals would need to be founded, and certain politics settled.
