"Eventually the orcs were driven back and an truce made. But the people of Duvik never forgot Fallon's silence, and so they turned their backs on Fallon and their faces to Orussus for their trade.
"Over the last ten years, Fallon have been making overtures to Duvik, trying to bring the town into their area of influence. In response, group of merchants from Orussus has been pressing the council here to offer an alliance to Duvik. Initially the council was slow to see the need, but the tide of opinion is turning. Fallon knows this, and I suspect that the events in Duvik are in some way tied to this struggle for Duvik. I will not say that the rumours are groundless, but I suspect that Fallon is behind this in one way or another. A disaster offers Fallon the opportunity to make up for the persecution that drove the people out of Fallon and Fallon's failure to assist Duvik 25 years ago.
