The Tangled Web

Make no mistake--I have no intention of sending you off to skitter about in the dark like a freshly-hatched beetle. It wouldn't do to have my little morsel snatched up by a starving cave borer. You must educate yourself, my dear. Your allies have found themselves ensconced in a torrid tapestry. Only by familiarizing yourself with its erstwhile architects can you hope to reclaim them. Luckily for you, I have made some of my personal resources available to you.
