Hello, I'm fairly new to the Shadowrun metaplot, but I grabbed Storm Front wanting to figure out all the changes between 4th and 5th.  There's a couple things I don't quite understand.  First, what was Prop 23 supposed to do?  There's a lot about the vote itself, but it's hard to pick out what it actually is.

Also, why did Hasteby get stripped of her Horde?  She didn't seem to do anything so drastic that would earn her banishment.  Any idea why did the dragons do this?

Prop 23 made the Ork Underground a real district of Seattle so they are entitled to services and taxes like the rest of the city, if they are SINners. Hestaby went against dragon culture and wanted a dragon to be judged by humans which the other dragons didn't like to say the least.

Ah.  Wow, they don't mess around considering all the other craziness that Dragons have been up to.

Thanks for the help

More about Prop 23 can be found in Dirty Tricks and the Shadowrun Missions Season 4 adventures (Mostly the odd numbered adventures).

As long as that crazy doesn't go against dragon tradition or side with non-dragons....yeah, it's legit.

Some speculation is about that there are reasons other than any past actions of hers for her banishment, and that the given reasons are merely a cover.  She could, for example, now be dragonkind's very own deniable asset - given Celedyr's edict and the general direction dragon-metahuman relations have been going, that could have some serious value.

Soooo... can a Dragon even grow a Pink Mohawk?

And tats, if she is going be a Runner, she is gonna need some tatwork done.

Given how her horde and followers were burned down, I doubt she has any interest in helping the anti-meta Dragons, unless there's a secret contact that states she will get everything back and then some at a later date. Which I doubt since they already divied up her belongings.

[Sendaz]

  Actually isn't Sirrug supposedly locked away in the Draconic version of Arkham (and we know how well that place worked) with no way for the humans to check in on this? 

That would make him a pretty deniable asset as with only a few minor transformation changes in appearance and he could be back in business....

What's that?  A Great Dragon just trashed the Paris MetaPride march?  Well it can't be Sirrug as he is locked away, must be someone new....

Or they could add insult to injury, no transformations to his appearance, just a big domino mask or some glasses.

[Michael Chandra]

Except that they didn't lock him up to please metahumanity, but to please the dragons who thought he went way out of line. Letting him loose risks a second Dragon Civil War.

There is in-world precedence for a dragon to be sprung from draconic imprisonment too - Calozerca.

Weird thing on that is that he started all that mess in Poland and no other Dragon lifted up their head and went, "Wait, that guy? Isn't he in jail? Hey! Shouldn't somebody, I dunno, go arrest him again or something?"

Of course, we still don't know who busted him out in the first place, so.

[Angelone]

He's been pretty silent since then he might be back in dragon jail.

[Sendaz]

Dragon Arkham I tell ya.

[TX_DM]

It kind of makes you wonder what dragon jail would have for guards...
