Chandea, Year of Severus, 21st, I.R., the 79th day of Spring, Ardantean Township, Nhils' Il Bucay Outskirts

The night was cold, and the wind blew hard as Orphella walked from the seemingly deserted streets of Aburucay, the slums just outside the western gate of the town. Lamentosza brought her there shortly after meeting her.

"There are too many ears and mouths inside the town's walls." Lamentosza said as he snuck her out of the western gate a few nights ago.

The veteran spy took her to a small shack at the edge of the slums, near the dreaded ancient burial grounds where most of the Ardants would prefer not to go, let alone step a foot in its cursed grounds, or so they say. There, she was brief of the assassination attempt. As she walked, she recalled their conversation.
