Ambushed in my home.
"Braham"—or someone masquerading as Eir's son—sent me an urgent mail calling me back to Hunter's Hearth. I should've suspected deception when he wrote something about "overcrowding." (Since when does Braham meddle in Knut Whitebear's civic affairs?) But I could not ignore the urgency, so I ventured forth.
This mysterious "Braham" was nowhere to be found. Instead, I found that a reporter from New Kaineng named Mi-Rae was his impostor. She pounced on the spot and went straight into an interview. The whole thing was a blur. She asked several very...pointed questions about the events in Cantha, and—against my better judgment—I shared my story. I got the sense that she had some sort of agenda, but I couldn't tell what it was. Thank the Spirits Taimi sent a message right when things got bad, giving me a timely exit. Mi-Rae said she got everything that she needed. This doesn't fill me with confidence.
