Not long after the conflict draws to a close, House Gabrielli is very quickly established as one of the most powerful families in the Hashat almost overnight. The family also doubles after a certain wedding takes place. It is a lovely triple wedding initiated by Yasmine. The ceremony itself takes place in the Caves. During renovations a cavernous area full of natural crystals had been discovered. In the flickering candlelight it’s one of the most beautiful places in Hashat. Yasmine joins hands with Cosimo, Valentina with Florizel and Sikar with Bella Ciao who he can finally build a life with. Three Gabriellis walk in, six walk out and attend a lavish celebration in the Gabrielli family home.

With Yasmine’s help Leopold is no longer a threat of any kind and Cosimo has taken over all of the Farnese assets, all of which were immediately transferred to the Gabrielli. Meanwhile Valentina has done an excellent job rebuilding Hashat and improving the Caves.

After taking a new bodyguard from the Caves, Sikar is able to remodel the Farnese information network and solidify his connections in the palace. To begin with he works closely with Zotto Tarqel and Valentina who has made adjustments to the Caves so that some secret tunnels still exist to themselves and those they choose to share them with. He also sets up a secret base hidden in plain sight. On the outside it appears to be an office near the centre of Hashat. However it has a secret passage way to tunnels that lead to both the Caves and the Palace. The logistics take a while to coordinate but Sikar soon has connections not only all over the city but also in different corners of Esharia and even a handful in Orrium and the Client States. There is almost nothing that slips by Sikar. The operation is so effective that within a couple of years Zotto is forced into early retirement with Sikar taking over as chief advisor.

Within ten years the Gabrielli hold the true power in Esharia. They are never quite able to take the throne as the line is strong but that ultimately doesn’t matter. They literally own half of the city as well as the Caves and the new Gabrielli bank but are much more benevolent than the Farnese. Still, it is just as well the spy network is so up to speed, there are several assaninatin attempts on both the Gabrielli and the Queen Regent but all are successfully thwarted thanks to good intelligence.

Sikar lives a happy and fulfilling life with Bella and the new Gabrielli family and his legacy is passed on to new generations of Gabrielli (along with Exxxet's coat). Some celebrating his contributions to family and country, others to his more infamous side.

While no one can question the power of the Gabrielli, some question their legitimacy. There is no evidence of Francesco Gabrielli adopting any orphans yet three from different backgrounds have stepped in to claim the name and fortune that goes with it, one who was rumoured to have been a con artist. Were they truly motivated by family and revenge or was this simply one of the greatest long cons in history? -Hashat: Reclaiming a city. Third edition
