Do you have any theories about what happened?
-- It is not within human power to have wrought this; it is the ill-fated will of the Gods. Fate treats the continent as but a plaything; Iphilla's will gave birth to the Crater, and surely some other evil entity here sought to doom us to repeat the sad fate of ancient Aphezerie. But the organism of our realm is strong; the loss of one limb is no great fear while the head and heart yet live, and we must think more on how to bring the rest of the body back under our unquestioning command. Vermgrace could not have devised that cunning plan alone, nor carried it out single-handedly; we must find the guilty one and sever his head from his body — the rumors will fall silent on their own once the source is dead.
Yin rose from his seat and wrote a list on the board:
-- From what I have said before, it is known that at least one, surely an enemy, is among these "neutrals." My trust rating appears to me as follows, from most to least reliable:
Nilcha Imekoh
Galmeus Draxlaüs
Kaleido Cartridge
Diramis Sutrtmoln
Tsiel Pinkoflight
Stratos Genburry
Adalard Grimm
Grimban Odolerus
Gitgood Flaveresens
Maria-Tenerezza Long
Man of Sanborn
Karneya Keykunia Iretiret
-- And if a personal visit to them seems reasonable, I would begin with the first ones on this list.
