How about a game this time, Traveller? The rules are quite the same as last time…
If you have been invited to join the Nightbathers' meeting they will say:
Pleased to meet you, Wanderer. The others call me 'Farmwife', due to me running a farm while raising several children and a husband. As you can imagine, this place gives me much needed respite from my daily chores.
Dialogue
When you finish the Kasa Incident quest, and speak to Farmer Ravda the first time.
Instead of blabbering like a gang of school kids like some others I could mention. I have been connecting the dots and tying the knots of Dandelions' findings over these last few days… Probably my mind has been tempered by juggling farm work and a swarming family so that I can sort the chaff from the wheat… and draw lines in the willow pattern of what happened to Singer and what happened in Kasa…
So… Here is my conclusion:
Singer began his journey, binding journal entries every day describing his travels. He entered Kasa just a few days before the incident to which he was fated to become a witness. Having set himself up in a cheap and lofty place to stay, in a tower overlooking the political district of Kasa…
On his second night in the tower, burning the midnight oil over his lute on some unfinished melody, he became witness to some kind of pre-arranged ritual between the Arch Sefra and the Union leader of the Esoteric Union; Grandmaster Grahma. The ritual proved a violent spectacle that left the Sefra lifeless on the floor, and the servant girl who assisted in the ritual, by Master Grahma's hand, dead.
Shocked by the sight, Singer's lute slipped from his hands. The sound of it smashing against the cobbles below drew the Council Warden's attention. Head over heels in flight, Singer made a narrow escape.
From some hiding place in the city, Singer attached his messages intended for us to his homing pigeons and sent them skywards. Only one of his Singer rosary however, the one we have hanging here in our Pavillion, managed to reach us. Singer did not suspect after he has released his homing pigeons the next day, that the City Warden falcons would be used to hunt down and kill any and all message birds leaving Kasa.
In the aftershock at the loss of the Arch Sefra, the Kasa council held a flash vote, deciding by a small margin to disband itself and give emergency power to the Northern Council in New Foundry. The New Foundry Council moved fast to commission two of their number to form a Coroner task force to investigate the details of The Kasa Incident, not least the unheard of fact that it was possible for Sefra to die.
Something that had always been believed impossible, and that if true would shake the foundation of the entire belief system of Braided Shore. A part of the New Foundry city watch were drafted to assist The Coroners, and began cordoning off areas, in various ways.
It appears Grandmaster Grahma only has vague memories of what happened the night of the Sefra's demise, but he accuses the servant girl tampering with the Mystics' and the Sefra's spirit counseling ritual. The Coroners' Wardens made a thorough investigation of the servant woman's body and then hid the remains somewhere in the old Kasa cemetery.
Since The Coroners investigation and blockades are still in effect… Unless there are some obscure political reason beyond the crime and shock at the death of a Sefra, I can only surmise that The Coroners are not yet fully content with Grandmaster Grahma's account of the "murder."
And that is all I can surmise from the journals and evidence that has reached us. How does this tale sit with you, my friends?
After completing the quest and speaking to Ravda again.
I'm not repeating all that again, Dandelion. I am more interested of your interpretation of these events.
…And as soon as we find evidence to the opposite, I will keep hoping that Singer will return to us one day…
