In the wake of rumours:

[Mathieu Laurent]

It is telling of recent climate that even in these early hours, the roads are warm beneath the boots, the air dry and stifling. It is through such conditions that a rider delivers his several copies off this missive, and each time into the hands of a man who wears Lothbury colours.



Commander,

Eventuality approaches. We proceed as contingency arrangements dictate. A rotation arrives soon to bolster your numbers; extraneous patrols are to return immediately to the Estate. None pass by your post unless they mean to leave.
