Reference Harlequins Back, stop if you don't want to know.

Serious GM info alert (should be ok for players that succeeded at
this






At the final section (mansion / Masquerade), quite a few of the
'great powers' which includes but is not limited to the totems have
gatecrashed the party. FASA specifically say this to the GM though
they give no indication of what great powers that are not totems are.

Then at the Bridge part3 if you stay about the 'Great powers ' show
up to protect Thayla, ie direct intervention (on the metaplanes
admittedly) by the totems amongst others to protect the planet earth.
