A canvas poster, with a notice written in elegant stylized script— almost like calligraphy— with a crimson seal with the appearance of a rose at the bottom:
—A Call for Public Inquiry—
Citizens of the Spire-Town:
Your way of life is beset with uncertainty. Uncertainty from within, and uncertainty from without.
Every day, more news comes of bandit raids on caravans in the wilds, and the dubious nature of the Knights Lictor of the Lampwood has been raised as a cause for unease by many. Still more worrisome are the killings of members of the Council of Four, as well as robberies of the library and other such events within these very walls.
At a time like this, what is required is unity. And yet — there are snakes in the garden, poised to strike and inject their venom while we are weak.
Concerns have been raised about the so-called Edgard Phonquis and his associates, a Spire dweller of dubious moral standing. In order to assuage the public's fears, it is necessary to clear up any suspicions on this individual and restore order.
If you or anyone you know has been insulted, threatened, attacked, or otherwise somehow slighted by this Edgard Phonquis or any of his associates, your story is important. These are unacceptable actions that sow doubt in the idea that these town walls provide us with the safety to start a new life and thrive.
Seek out Umeneri Helara and inform her of these events. A public inquiry shall clear up any misunderstandings and allow us all to rest easy, knowing your way of life is secured into the future.
