An excerpt from a merchant’s travelling account, excavated from a tomb:
…when we arrived, the city seemed to be astir with the recent passage of a fearsome warrior, who, we gathered, was in pursuit of a thief of rare books, such as are written by heresiarchs. A reward was offered for information about heirlooms and books that this thief had stolen, but few would discuss this matter with the assassin, and she departed in wrath.
We agreed among ourselves that we would not want to encounter such a pursuer, and we wondered what would happen to the pursued thieves. What could possibly influence this relentless pursuit?
