Quoted By:
Streynsham MORTMAIN
Statues and oleographs depicting the Lord High Intelligencer in various heroic actions from the Great War are a common sight throughout the City, though Mortmain himself has not been seen in public since the abdication of the former Child-King, Searlas III, as dictated and ratified by the terms of the Old Armistice. It is commonly believed that Mortmain has dedicated himself to vigilance against the Great Powers of old, having received a debilitating war-wound during the course of fighting at Al-Ghurab. Across the city there are some who maintain that Streynsham died long ago in the trenches during the opening salvoes of the Great War, but if this were the case, no remains or evidence have ever been found.
QM: A strange scrawled message has appeared in your pocket-book journal. It reads simply,
-The Horned Crow Hunts For You.
It is bookmarked by a brief telegram dispatch ticket, that reads
ARRIVAL DELAYED / TWO MORE WEEKS / AWAIT CONTACT PRECLUSION / MORTMAIN
Perhaps this message was already present in your pocket-book, and was merely waiting to be read and found?
