Multiple copies of this hand-written note are placed throughout Sanctuary.

Citizens of Sanctuary,

The minions of Montezzi claim that the dwarves of Clan Mithrilsoul wish to start a war against them without cause. This is a lie, as we attempted to stay nuetral in this matter, though we detest their habit of murdering any who stand in their path.

Now that the those in Lower who would stand in their way including the Hoarran Temple, the Shrine of the Ascension, and the Seekers, they have turned their cruel eyes towards the Canal Ward and Clan Mithrilsoul.

We have formed an alliance with a trading partner of our people. While we have attempted to promote trade to help the fortunes of Sanctuary above and below, the thugs of Montezzi in honorless fashion murdered a citizen of Sanctuary named Krovus, who had just opened his stand for trade. By the good graces of Dumathion, his ties to this plane were still strong and he was returned to us.

The murderer, one of our own blood named Banjo was tailed back to his employer, a goblin named Ghyrrt. Both are members of House Montezzi, and it is by this act that they have attempted to draw us from our neutrality into war.

And now, the tyrant Montezzi demands that an Elder of our Clan begs for pardon for some imagined crime against their House. I am that Elder, and my name is Faenor Breena Watchever. Long have I lived and served in Sanctuary, having worked to found the Sanctuary Shelter, and now lead a good and honorable clan of Moradin's own.

Of course, I have committed no crime against this murderous crimelord. It is a poorly-concealed excuse to justify their next step in their quest to rule all of Sanctuary.

Citizens, we have done nothing to violate the rule of these madmen. I is merely now our turn to face their accursed blades in their sinister plan. We will not bow down to this tyrant, and warn you all that if those who care about the welfare of its people do not band together, the blood of countless innocents will continue to be shed and it will be upon the conscience of all.
