Quote:The well-informed public was shocked to awake to the news that the family home of Lolorito, head of the East Aldenard Trading Company, had been attacked late last night. Sources close to the family say that a small squad of hired swordsmen had been admitted to the house in what appears to have been at least partially an inside job. Lolorito's personal guard repulsed the attack, slaying most of the swordsmen but taking one captive. Speculation abounds as to the source and the reasons for the attack, but most are centered around a recent spike in criminal activity.
"It's clear that the landscape of the Ul'dahn underworld is changing", said scholar Hadi Shouna. "We've seen this before, where a new Power attempts to dislodge an established Power in order to fill the vacuum created."
Law enforcement officers have begun an investigation into the attack, but have released no details.
Sasani wiped the blood from his hands with a wet cloth as he walked through the heavy door. Behind him something that was once a kitchen servant dripped and quivered and made soft animal noises. As the door closed, the little Lalafell turned to his patron.
"My Lord Lolorito", he said, his voice soft and sibilant. "We have a name. C'kayah."
