As sun rises on a new day in The Rotten City, flyers are littered about the streets and tacked upon every bulletin.
Attention thieves, pick-pockets, and aspiring ne'er-do-wells! Need a fence? We buy all things illegaly acquired. Need a place to lay low for a while? We can accomadate all. Need that nasty bounty the sheriff's gone and put upon your head wiped clean? We can pull the right strings...probably. Anyways, be on your best behaviour and we will approach you.
(He was sitting in his office, when he was handed one of the fliers by one of the castle guard. Crumpling it up, and then examining his clenched fist, he imediately took a quill and penned a letter of his own.)
Greetings your Majesty
I am eternally grateful that you have announced your arrival with such fanfare. It saves me the trouble of actually discovering you presence. Rest assured thieves of Salarain, your Monarch's words are true - the dungeons of the keep can accomodate one and all, and you are all most welcome to attend. And the right strings can be pulled - though I fear they may be thicker, and closer to your throats than you prefer. 'Anyways' , be on your best behaviour, and we will not approach you.
Respectfully, the Duke of Cape Salarain
(Having signed it once he finished writing, he handed it to the guard who had brought the first flier in.)
"I want hundreds of copies of this made - and for every flier you found like this one, tear it down, and replace it with the one I have provided."
(As the guard left, he pondered the situation. There was enough trouble afoot already - this "King" would only serve to make things more difficult.) _________________ Dream as if you will live forever

He sat upon a rooftop in Salarain that evening. He was quite enjoying his stay. He read Leto's return-fire babble. "That stirred up the hornets nest, indeed. Perfect."
Now he could send his scouts out this way while he operated in Meriddia. His plan was coming together quite nicely.
