'Word has begun to spread among the people that Azagath fled from the city, and while the details vary, in most of these stories both Tumúldo Fierce-water and Nakási Wave-reaper followed him. You and I know the truth of that, but it is best that the people not yet know. Of Tatháta no tales tell, but she has not been seen in some time.

'Did I say \qno tale?\q This is not the truth complete, ${PLAYER}. Kinsman Khôltekh has spies everywhere, and this morning he related to me that some days ago one of these spies observed Tatháta engaged in combat with an Umbari woman he did not recognize. There was another who stood by, ${PLAYER}, and that other was you.'

Hármelak raises her hand to silence you as you begin speaking.

'I know the circumstances that brought you to our city... and I know too that Khôltekh delayed in relating this information to me, for reasons of his own. Learn what these reasons may be, keep me informed of them, and discover what you can of Tatháta's fate. We are allies now, ${PLAYER}, if perhaps not friends, and this matter concerns us both.'
