Blessings Be Upon You,
I am quite curious about how those Cassomir dogs keep the Swift Prison afloat. Find and bring me a copy of their financial statements— specifically from their indoor market. Should this disturbance prove beneficial to our cause, you should have no trouble finding their ledger during the chaos.
Additionally, a rival Qadiran merchant in Cassomir won a coin from me. It is dear, for it was the first coin I ever made in business. When I offered to repurchase it from the cur, he mocked and discarded it in one of the Swift’s beggar’s boxes. On the chance it may still be there, go through those boxes and find my coin. You can identify it by my initials on its face.
Scarab Sages – Osirion:
Child of the Sands,
Thanks to the timely delivery of Dalirio Teppish’s head, I was able to find a strange black rock melded into his skull at the top of his neck. If you come across a black, flaky ore beneath Cassomir, bring me a sample, but take care removing it. I want a piece that has not already embedded itself into living flesh, so you’ll need to bring me the raw ore. Lazurite, I believe it’s called.
Should you also find a ghoul or, gods forbid, a stench-ridden ghast while beneath the city, bring me another head for study. I need to see if there’s a difference between Teppish’s transformation and the transformation of any other creature.
Sovereign Court - Taldor:
Glorious Agent,
Here’s a little secret: the reason Swift Prison keeps its prisoners in line lies in the magic of a chapel bell. If word gets out that this bell is, in fact, the legendary bell of obedience, I fear one of Taldor’s greatest treasures may be torn from our hands and whisked off to some distant museum in a far off land. With this missive is an enclosed chest—inside you will find a music box. Open the box while you are in the Swift’s chapel and then ring the bell above. In case the bell is lost, we will forever have its tone captured.
Should you, during your investigation of the Swift’s missing prisoners, encounter that wonderfully crazy artist, convince him to paint a portrait of me. Enclosed is a rather droll picture an artist in Oppara did for a pittance—as you can see, it’s a poor likeness. Describe me to the painter and have him paint a portrait of me worthy enough to hang above the Emperor’s own throne.
Dark Archive – Cheliax:
Object of Desire,
I hear silvered whispers of an item that resides in Swift Prison’s chapel. It’s a chapel bell called the bell of obedience. Scholars say the bell’s yoke has an inscription written on it in Azlanti. Make me a copy of this inscription.
If during your visit to Cassomir you should encounter that lovely painter once more, convince him to look at the book enclosed with this missive. It is a code I am trying to decipher and my inability to crack it is quite maddening. See if he can fill in the blanks.
Liberty’s Edge – Andoran:
Agent of Freedom,
My spies tell me a ring of Andoran smugglers supplies the Cult of Nature’s Cataclysm. This cannot be true. Discover who really funds these smuggling jackals before they start a war between Andoran and Taldor.
Those peculiar creatures called mites seem thirsty to drink the rebellious waters of freedom. I received word the derros hold their leader captive. If you should encounter this mite, see that he is freed. I have it on good authority that once their leader is freed, the mites will rebel against their derro masters.
