Talon and the Yellow Rose

In Phoenatos of 5123, notes became appearing in both the Arboretum located in Ta'Illistim and in the Haycribs of Marshtown. These notes appear to be correspondences between someone named the Yellow Rose and Talon.

Arboretum Note 1

To the Yellow Rose of Ta'Illistim, the Skinny Man is gone. Too much to explain right now, but will attempt to get it all to you soon. What you need to know is that he was betraying all of us by following another man's greed. Can't use thoughts to convey messages to you right now as I've discovered there are birds listening in. You can leave messages for me via one of your shadows in the haycribs of Marshtown. We can talk soon. - Talon

Arboretum Note 2

Yellow Rose, glad to see the old methods are working. Still trying to root out those noisy birds, so the old-fashioned way is still best on this side of the spine. Trial in the frontier may not be safe, I'm working on finding a backup for me now. Keep the lines open, will you? Haven't had any issues with our merchants going on walkabout, but it sure does seem like there's a todo about your folks. What can you tell me about a violet-eyed Loenthran that came to the coast? - Talon

Haycrib Note 1

Talon, not sorry to see the Skinny Man go but sorry for your loss. We had heard there might be birds on the line and had been relying on old messages for conveying things for the past two months. Didn't realize they had reached as far west as over the spine, so that's good information to have. If this letter has found you well, please share with us how your shopkeepers are doing. Ours seem to be having an involuntary walkabout. – Yellow –^--@

Haycrib Note 2

Talon, he's the cousin of a local artist. She runs in high circles, is often seen at court, and was last seen having tea with the eldest mirror we have in town. Left here in a huff to try to force your side to settle the matter of who murdered the woman of the exchange, not that our side is doing more than ruffling feathers. Unfortunately, not the right ones. Last we heard, violet-eyes checked into your Inn. Let us know what you find out. -- Yellow ^--@

Haycrib Note 3

Talon, we heard one of our books made it to your library. I understand the condition was bad. I hope you were able to fix it and get it in better condition. That particular book is very important to one of our members, a cousin or something. Any news is appreciated. -- Yellow --^--@
