[These flyers are posted prominently in conspicuous places throughout the Canal Ward.]

How many years have we benefited from where the Unseelie fey have made their home? We all know the drow have an entire navy at their disposal, but have they ever dared attack us by sea? The drowned wreck of the Nempori Rah sits beneath the depths as mute testament to the power of our fey neighbors.

Lucius Westmore may have chased out a pack of scurvy goblins, but that does not entitle him to sacrifice our safety at the altar of his reckless Ilmatari ambition. We are not Westmore's foolhardy army of conquerors. We are merchants, tradesmen, sailors, sellswords and shipwrights, and unlike Westmore, we do not need to commit folly against the dark fey to take pride in the work of our own hands.

This Canal is our livelihood, our leisure, and our lives. We have always lived with the Unseelie, and we will continue to live with the Unseelie. Mark my words, we will chart a course through the Canal. But we will do it the way only we can do best: through hard work, shrewd bargaining, and a draught or two of strong ale.

If you already take pride in what you do for coin and don't want to get yourself caught up in Westmore's dangerous heroics, come to the Sultry Siren at lunchtime tomorrow and we'll have a toast in your honor. Save your hard-earned gold, the ale is on me.
