The Dark Region was as dark as ever.
Philray glared at the Guard beside him with dissatisfaction, waiting for a report from the Scout ahead.
Ever since word had spread from the First Family, many families had dispatched their own patrol Guards to search the outskirts of the city for any suspicious outsiders. There had been no significant findings, however, aside from occasionally encountering a few Gray Dwarves and Goblins.

The crime of fabricating a divine message was a serious one; even the matriarch of the First Family could not escape unscathed. And seeing how the First Family had indeed been vigorously participating in the search, it was hard to suspect any foul play from Mother Angeste.
