Amos is going to head to Solvunn initially. OOC, I think he's a better fit for/want him to end up in the Free Cities for a variety of reasons, but based on what he knows ICly, his first instinct would be Solvunn.
He's been on edge in prison for a while and since returning from the Horizon ready to snap/Fight Everyone, but everyone being frozen is going to take the wind right out of those sails, leaving him with no outlet for his pent-up energy (unless anyone wants to do a PCs throwdown!). He'll also have just enough awareness to recognize that if Solvunn is reclusive and neutral, that might be his best chance to mitigate any damage he's on the verge of doing: in his mind, he needs to be out of sight, out of mind, away from other people/society for the good of everyone, so, reclusive and neutral is probably better for that than a military power.
Also he suddenly has gravity powers he's never had before so I'm sure that'll work out totally fine as a live wire in a highly stressful situation. That said, I don't really have any plans for him during the escape; he's probably just gonna reach the conclusion that Solvunn is for the best for him and go; that said, I'm still down for whatever.
As for actually being in Solvunn, I have no idea if he's going to take to it or not, if he'll be able to handle daily life there or not (especially when dude really needs to get into a good bar fight or whatever first to release some tension). While I still ultimately want him to end up in the Free Cities, I don't want to force it; if he takes to Solvunn then he takes to Solvunn, I guess! Though that sure will be demoralizing if he doesn't, so, kinda hoping for that outcome, but that's probably further down the line.
Brad, meanwhile, is perfectly happy to stay in Thorne. Thorne's awesome, he doesn't know what the rest of your guys' problem is — high fantasy and a public execution? It's all the dorky and also dark shit he's ever wanted. He doesn't mind that he'll be treated with suspicion and distrust; hey, if he were in Thorne's position that's exactly what he'd do, too. That said, he's not exactly going to have a lot to actually... do... during this event, as a regular human who's still pretty new here, so, rip, but hanging out with any other Thorne thots would be great.
Since he's new he's not going to have a whole lot to offer in the way of information, but acts of service, sure, he can do that. It's less about taking Thorne's side in the overall conflict and more that he sees the most opportunity for himself in Thorne and is interested in ascending the ranks. Not for like, usurping or anything. Just, you know, standard power accumulation, but he's cool with saying whatever to help him get there. He might even mean some of it, who knows!
He's still gotta get access to the Horizon at some point if anyone wants to help out there. Also he needs a sword. For reasons.
