Jahleh began, "I will start with the facts as I know them. Shortly after King Sebastian II took the throne, this temple's leader was called away on important business. I've since discovered that In that same week, every high ranking cleric in the city was drawn away by a similar message. Since the different faiths are not in constant contact with each other - many are rivals who would never directly share information - the suspicious nature of this wasn't plainly visible at the time. As suspicions grew, the Guard stepped in, taking the remaining clerics one by one for questioning and protective custody. In a similar timeframe, the sale and ownership of weapons has been more closely regulated. Last week, they confiscated our maces and sickles, though we managed to conceal a few scrolls and knives."<br/><br/>"Today, believing me too weak to resist them, they tried to take me to the guardhouse "to ask what happened to the superior". Likely as not, they know exactly what happened to her. And they all but admitted to my accusation that they would kill the two of us and dispose of the bodies when we were in custody - I didn't realize how until I saw for myself. We would simply disappear like so many others."
