Where should a wayang go?

The Lantern Lodge was a ticket to explore the world; now it is gone, but my home is Absalom. Should I turn to the Sczarni? They say they could make use of my... particular talents. They are hardly up to the standards of honor that I learnt from Amara Li. The Silver Crusade are honorable - so honorable that they cannot see the end of their noses. Where does a wayang go? Where does the Dissolution direct me? Maybe Andoran's claims of freedom for all extend even to the creatures of the shadow.

Now we have fought off the attack on the negotiations, I see the purpose behind the Lantern Lodge's actions. It was an honor to serve and I shall look forward to seeing Lady Amara on her trips to the Inner Sea or mine to Tian Xia.

I am most discombobulated to learn, after a long and perilous dangerous from Tian Xia to Absalom, not only that such a journey might have been rendered a great deal shorter and safer in little time, but that the Lantern Lodge I was sent to serve appears to be - dare I say it? - less than the honourable institution it was presented to be.
