Coercive Knives. AKA Compelling Knives. AKA Steering Knives. AKA KNIVES

The CITADEL hates the KNIVES.

Even the smallest Steering Knife, placed on the poisoned soil is enough to make the city turn, like a witch-beetle touching salt.

There is little the KNIVES will not keenly cut. So eager are they to sunder, that they are locked in cages made from the bones of the few ENVOYs that have ever been killed.

They will not cut the ENVOYs. Nor DELGATEs or Angels. Though the city itself they seem eager to destroy. Perhaps the city knows this and slowly flees whenever they are near.

An inexhaustive list of KIFE prey:

Each time a KNIFE is used, it grows slightly shorter.

This is true:
The city will do almost anything to avoid approaching the KNIVES
