The Lemig Sortion
The byword for Syndicate gridlock that Victory invokes to explain her powerlessness in office.
Story so far
When Donut asked whether the new acting Syndicate Prime Minister could stop all this and get them out of here, Baroness Victory refused the hope. The post is temporary, and even if it weren't, she has less power now than she had as a judge.
The Syndicate Council, she said, is just as bad as it was in the Lemig Sortion days. Total gridlock.
Role
The historical benchmark for the Syndicate's political paralysis.
