Ex Undis (Mission Notes)

Executor: Aerivandor Rhydane

There is more going on in Tigris than we initially suspected. What was meant to be a simple escort for House Taif evolved into a high seas salvage mission under duress.

Haberci Fatima had initially hired our services for five mercenaries to ensure cargo from the Dragon Azure Empire reached their trading hub in Eshnunna city. This was meant as part of their reintroduction to Myrias so they wanted to ensure its safe delivery. The team seemed well-suited for the task:


 * Rizael, quick on his feet and proven to be get himself in and out of tricky situations. His first few missions had me worried about his impetuousness but he has gained a cooler head as of late.
 * Wolfram, studious and patient, I had no worries of his participation. He seemed easily distracted by the food during the initial meeting but was intuitive enough to realize when his welcome had run over.
 * Cheldric Treewind, had me worried for his lack of social graces. He seemed stupefied by the envoy and his sheltered upbringing might cause some incidents down the line.
 * K’lingee Asphook, Lady Fatima only had glowing reviews for the first members of the first expedition to Tigris. I hoped he would keep his tongue and hugs to the enemies that may try to attack them.
 * And Kaladin. He seems to be coming into his own. I admit that from the group, I entrusted the leadership role to him once more. He already has experience with Tigris and expressed a genuine curiosity of its culture.

Unfortunately, everything went to ruin, quite literally. Another group had attacked the Prevese, the trading galleon from the Azure Dragon Empire and all its crew were murdered. While our mercenaries did their best, they were only able to recover two of the five essential chests Lady Fatima had described to them. The forces at play are more coordinated and formidable than we expected. I will forward the reports of the mercenaries involved once they are available. As I previously suspected, we will need to rely on them for now until we have established our own guild hall in Tigris.
