It's basically a 3 way struggle to try and control the city for their own personal agendas.

The Aristocrats being wealthy tend to use their money for bribery and control.

The Hudsons desire riches through natural resources and mining, but with the Aristocrat's oppression on the area, it makes it fairly hard to gain money legally.

Children of Umbra are a dark organisation, almost like a cult, that is hell bent on power and destruction however they fell off the radar for several years when the leader of the House of Hudson and two mercinaries from the aristocrats killed off the leaders of the Children of Investment.

I don't wanna have a full out war or anything but more focus on espionage, back handed deals, deceit and betrayal.
