If the actions of the Night Blades in the city of Warding could be described as successful, their operations in Starling City could only be termed a resounding success.
Starling City was already home to many families who had pledged their allegiance to the Night Blades.
During this operation, these families played a pivotal role. At the onset of the Night Blades' movement, these families coordinated with the members of the Night Blades to dismantle the official organizations of Starling City. Initially, the city had a branch of the Angel Guild.
However, right from the beginning, the Angel Guild's branch was completely destroyed by the Night Blades, in collaboration with several powerful families. The Angel Guild's branch in Starling City couldn't even manage to send this information to other branches of the Angel Guild.
At this point, Starling City was left with only a few forces resisting the Night Blades, led by Sophia of the Green family.
