"Here's what I found out...I know this is going to hurt you, Vasha, but you said you wanted to know...Some woman named Vrymiin turned Zythryd in to the authorities and alerted them to you. In exchange, she was freed from slavery and given possession of all of Zythryd's belongings and estate, which had been confiscated. She was quoted as saying that although freedom from slavery was sweet, the thing that brings her the most joy is that this will make you suffer, Vasha, and she hopes that you realise that Zythryd's torture is completely your fault. Since then, she has been busy selling off and destroying much of Zythryd's property for money that she has been using to purchase expensive psychoactive drugs. As for Zythryd, he is being tortured for information about you, but they haven't been able to get anything useful because everything he has given them seems to be false. For the moment, they think that he is lying to protect you, so they're going to torture him more. Eventually, they will realise that he is telling the truth and that he doesn't know anything useful, and they will discard him. That's when I can rescue him and bring him here."
