Message: <blockquote data-quote="SecondTime" data-source="post: 3450941" data-attributes="member: 42381">Kaine: You are able to make contact with Pol as the gnome is purchasing provisions in the town market before he and his 'master', Sir Nelview, depart New Cyre. He nimbly guides you to a narrow alleyway between two small, wooden stores and whispers some details about your assignment. He was able to identify you based on a Citadel signet ring you wear, which he promptly displays for you.Local politics are messy. There are the goblin raids, but the Lanterns consider those to be a minor threat, atleast militarily; Darguun is in no position to challenge King Boranel directly. Your assignment is based on percieved threats from within New Cyre itself; Oargev's position amongst the refugees is not as secure as some believe. The goblin raids are hurting his image and his vision of a new Cyran homeland, and some whisper that the raids are being advanced by someone close to him. In addition, there are whispers of perverse cults taking hold amongst the Cyrans. These rumors have spread to the surrounding Brelish hamlets, raising tensions between the two peoples, tensions that are being pressed by Sir Nelview, castellan of the local castles, lord of most the surrounding estates, and chief magistrate of this district. Pol suspects that Nelview, a powerful noble member of the parliment, is trying to bring Oargev under his power; these suspicions are what lead to the gnome's assignment to this backwater in the first place under cover as Nelviews chamberlin. He is tasked with keeping abreast of the local Brelish, while you must be the Lantern's eyes amongst the Cyrans. To this end, you are tasked with getting close and protecting King Oargev; despite his occasional patriotic hand wringing, he is of royal blood and considered the Cyran noble least threatening to Breland. You must stop any assault on his position, whether it comes from the goblins, the Brelish, or even the Cyrans themselves.</blockquote>
