Rumors swirl throughout the taverns of Bezantur that one of the Flaming Brazier's senior leaders was kidnapped while at a brothel at the Street of White Roses. It is known that at least some of his guard were killed at the Red Embrace, but temple priests and members of the Flaming Brazier refuse to comment on his whereabouts or if they know what happened or why he was there (said with a wink and nod after a few ales).

Temple priests, fire drakes, and the monks of the order of the Salamander are currently turning the Street of White Roses inside out for some apparent reason though.

Priests of Kossuth preach the following proclamation or variation of it throughout Bezantur:

The faithful of Kossuth and all true Thayans are called to defend the faith - it is under attack here in the very land it saved! A recent break-in at the Flaming Brazier temple has left several of our brave Fire Drakes and temple priests dead, as well as the disappearance our powerful and feared General of the Knights of the Drake.

Most responsible for the attack have been captured and now roast in the flames of Kossuth. However other infiltrators have yet to be found. Two human women are sought; one clad in full plate mail wielding a longsword or bastard sword, and another with lighter armor with no leggings, only knee-high boots. Women speaking out against the faith or any hostile women to the flames of Kossuth should be killed on sight! Or for those unable to defend our faith as demanded, report your suspicions to the Most Fervid Walker of Fires Brianna found in the Flaming Brazier's Inner Sanctum.

It is also strongly believed that the attack on our most holy of Temples is directly related to the disappearance of our feared General of the Knights of the Drake and the death of his personal guards. Sought for questioning for this heinous act are five humans who are believed to have played a direct role in his disappearance. Among them are two women; one with a stutter, and three men; one with pale skin, a long mustache and dressed in a light-blue tunic. It is very likely the women involved may be those sought in the break-in at the temple.

A 10,000 talon reward is offered by the Flaming Brazier for information leading to the death or capture of any of the temple infiltrators or those last seen before the disappearance of our General of the Knights of the Drake!
