Indrajit and Fix, the founding partners of the Protagonists, a jobber company in Kish, are the go-to individuals for all tasks in the corrupt old city. From unblocking wells to repairing tollgates, and even hunting down murderers, they tackle a diverse range of responsibilities. Indrajit, a poet of a dying race, seeks his successor, while Fix, a failed monk, pines for his lost love. Despite their diverse backgrounds, they are skilled swordsmen and thinkers, revered as heroes in their hearts and deeds.

In addition to their jobbing duties, the Protagonists recover stolen documents, unravel financial fraud, escort shipwrecked diplomats, and explore the ruins beneath the city in search of missing academics. However, as they investigate the criminals they encounter, rival jobbers, sorcerers, spies, assassins, and other mysterious parties grow increasingly determined to eliminate the Protagonists.

Welcome to Kish, a city where danger and intrigue lurk around every corner, and the Protagonists are the only ones brave enough to face it head-on.
