Quick notes

Corvo and Emily anchor the story. Corvo’s role as Royal Protector connects his personal revenge to Emily’s safety and the throne.
The Loyalists provide a base. Havelock organizes the resistance at the Hound Pits, Piero equips Corvo and Samuel handles transport.
The Outsider supplies power without simple instructions. His mark creates supernatural possibilities, but Corvo’s choices determine how they are used.
Keep Daud’s expansions separate. Daud appears in Corvo’s story, but his playable campaigns belong to The Knife of Dunwall and The Brigmore Witches.

The Loyalists provide a base
