The Shadow Tribe kobolds have been awarded a contract to defend the Canal Gates. About a dozen of them will be guarding it at a time. They's to be treated just the same as any other citizen of Lower, cause they got the same rights. This means no killing them, no punting them for sport, you get the idea. You can tell them from ordinary kobolds by the black tattoos. Anyone who can provide them with food (meat) or zhurkwood to build a shelter talk at Tommy Ten-irons or Baldev Cole. Right now they getting paid with gold but we rather change that, especially since I'm paying out of my pocket till we get funds sorted out.

Spellguard tiles. In all my time as a Footman I always allowed magic in reason and nothing bad ever happened. The tiles don't do nothing to protect us. We's working on a way to remove one from the Beacon. Anyone with information on removing them, or anyone else who wants one removed from their place, talk at V. Blackhaw, Tommy or Orison.

Last, I've been told the Spellguard have been killing Lowers when it's convenient for them. Some of them have died in their custody, some of them they get executed. Let's get this straight: Lowers can't be tried or jailed by Uppers for crimes they allegedly commit in Lower. Uppers can always make a rotheshit excuse to jail or search you, and it's in your right to resist if the excuse is made up. If you don't like being harassed for walking around in Upper, do what I do; never step in Upper without a damn good reason, and be ready to fight if they approach you. If I hear of another Lower citizen dying with Spellguard even remotely involved, I'll take it out of an Agent's head, starting with either Nikitovich or Ferrington.
