"Mystery among the Masses!
written by Torel Yorel
Tragedy and heartache has struck the small encampment of refugees outside the city walls of Ul'dah. Among a people already stricken with hardship, a new threat has emerged, as many refugees have reported loved ones going missing. While this has not been an uncommon occurrence among this disparate group of people, the increasing frequency has caused this reporter to finally take notice. While no official investigation has been launched, when questioned, the Brass Blades have released a statement saying,
"While we extend our sympathies to the families seeking political asylum, we simply haven't the resources or man power to keep track of every individual who passes through the camps."
It seems that the Brass Blades are all too willing to accept fines for occupying space outside the city, but are unwilling to allocate resources to ensure the safety of the poor and huddled masses outside the shining walls of our desert jewel. This reporter braved the wilds of the camps in order to try to shed some light on this quandary. When questioned, many refugees mentioned seeing cloaked figures loitering around the edges of the camp, who fled before being confronted. Who are these wolves among the sheep? What could they possibly be hiding beneath those cowls? I will make it my duty to see this story get the attention it deserves! It is high time that we as a nation step forward to stamp out these criminals who would prey on the most pitiful of our people."
"A Lalafell reporter for the Thanalan Post. His stories tend to be slanted towards his more royalist bias. He has made enemies of the brass blades before. It is a wonder he is still employed." -Dovienya
"I'm fairly sure I've seen seen his articles posted on the notice board in The Quicksand- that is until they end up ripped down and trampled underfoot.
I could inquire around the city a bit, see if there's a way to speak with him off the books."
A new clipping as been added to the corkboard, over the old newspaper story:
"Dreadful Sacrifices and a Daring Rescue!
written by Torel Yorel
A shocking conclusion to the mystery of the missing refugees has left the city stunned! Earlier this week a group of noble adventurers took it upon themselves to protect those who had no protection, to shelter those without homes, and to look out for those ignored by society.
For several weeks now many refugees were disappearing, being taken right out of their makeshift beds at night. These poor souls were subjected to the whims of a heinous thaumaturge seeking to recreate the calamity, according to a Brass Blades spokesperson at a press conference. While they claime it was an isolated incident, many in the city are left wondering, how could such a thing go unnoticed for so long? How many more cultists could be lurking in the shadows!? Just who are these "Lambs of Dalamud"?
One thing this reporter knows is that we much remain vigilant! The city could use more brave adventurers like the brave men and women of Remnant, who managed to not only save dozens of lives, but capture the devilish leader alive!"
