Over the last decade a pattern of peculiar revenge stories has slowly spread throughout the city. Citizens who have been victimized would their aggressors prostrated, injured, maimed, sometimes even killed. Each recipient of the Sting's vengeance is branded with a personalized version of The Unquenchable Flame's symbol. While the mysterious avenger clearly has ties to Calistria, city officials have little hope that the Court of Bees would help capture The Sting.
