Thanks to his experience as a bard, Anton knows the following rumors about the noble families.<br/>Assumbar: The boy, Myklos, who is beginning to resent his aunt's rule is not simply a rebellious teenager, but at 15 years old, he is already beginning to accumulate gold and a reputation for himself as an information broker, eager to sell out any of the adults who are restricting his actions for the time being. Word is that he doesn't follow Siamorphe like the rest of his family, but instead the god Mask.<br/>Cassalanter: The family follows Waukeen, the goddess of commerce, but the rumor is that not all of their sales are entirely legal. They're not slavers, but they have been known to sell illegal substances and to sell legal, taxable goods under the table to avoid paying the city's tax on them.<br/>Eltorchul: Anton doesn't know anything new about the Eltorchul family.<br/>Tchazzam: The Tchazzam family has no trouble bringing in game, though not all of it appears to have been killed by arrows. Some of it seems to have been killed by hunting dogs or by a broken neck. Curious, that.<br/>Urmbrusk: "Landowners and moneylenders" may be putting it in too benevolent a light. Slavery is illegal in Waterdeep, but the Urmbrusks have a habit of pushing legal limits on such things, and sharecropping can begin to resemble slavery when the farmers are given enough to live on, but not enough of the profits to improve their lot in life. And as for moneylending, they have a habit of targeting failing businesses with loans, having the owners sign away their business as collateral, and then when the business inevitably fails, they take possession of the business and begin running it at a profit again. Dirty bastards.<br/>Zulpair: Don't get on the Zulpairs' bad side or they may make a more generous offering to Umberlee than a handful of gold coins. That is, they'll toss you overboard on their way out of the harbor, in an area known as Umberlee's Cache, the entrance to a series of large underwater caves in Waterdeep Harbor.<br/><br/>The Watch liason looks at Aldros for a moment, then nods.<strong>"That is a possibility. We could certainly suggest that they take extra precautions and offer to have a look around to ensure that the home is secure."</strong>
