The paladin grimaced slightly.  "Of the faith, I know much.  I was hoping that because of your connections you may have heard more about the specific reasons the cult might be growing in the city, or what they intended.  I'm aware of the mage you slew, but it is news that he was a member of the cult.  I see my intelligence is not as good as I'd thought it was.  I'll have to speak with my agents.  As to the 'job' it's quite simple.  We've been contacted by a high priestess of Ah'mie who wants to open a small temple in one of the abandoned buidings near the docks.  While the lord protector is obviously a devout worshiper of Bahamut, she is sensitive to the needs of the city.  She's afraid that to turn away a priestess of any faith might make her seem like a fanatic to her own faith.  If we've allowed a small temple to Weejas, how can we deny one to Ah'mie after all?  While we don't agree with their faith, how can we deny them it?  As you know, Laelith's charter specifically forbids any sort of religious theocracy from forming."<br/><br/>"If she were to deny this request, the council of guilds would likely rise up and the high commander would be disposed.  But she's delayed on signing over the paperwork for the building.  But she can't delay for much longer.  I wanted someone that could fit into that world to try to meet with the high priestess of ah'mie and see what they could learn about this cult.  No doubt they've operated in Laelith for years, but always in the shadows.  They must have many members and have grown in strength to be ready to come out into the open.  But more, they must have a REASON for finally coming out into the open.   We want to know why, and how strong they are."
