RUMOR: Aerie Temple Closed Off!

Word spreads like wildfire.

It seems Hawk's Aerie's main temple has been sealed off by members of the House Nillu Guard. This happened overnight while the Duke himself was in prayer there. Parchments have been put up describing yet another attack on the old nobleman, claiming the place of worship has been left a mess. The culprits responsible are detailed only as three men: one tall, one short, all drunk. "Investigations by House agents have concluded that this is the work of a group of rogue mages who fight against the registration of their abilities," the parchment claims. "While I may be the most logical target, I would advise other Houses to keep alert. I am also offering a reward of twenty thousand gold coins for any information leading to the apprehension of these criminals."

As always, the shifting tongues often alter the tales. Some claim the whole thing has been staged by Orrendous Nillu in order to use the temple as a cell for one of the Shadow abominations he created with the use of dark arts in the soaking rooms of Glittering Bear. Others assure that there was an unusual lack of alarm during the night of the supposed attack.

Only one thing remains certain: by keeping the religious from having a local place of worship, Oren Nillu has earned himself even less favoritism by the followers of the Light.
