Introduction
Mederick Choubard? Of course I know Meddy. We fought half a dozen manticores together at the Jaws of the End-of-the-World. That was three years ago, I think. He's a wonderful comrade-in-arms... Or rather, he's a wonderful friend... No, he's more than that, I'd say he's a brother. I hope you aren't counting on me to betray his secrets?

Hmmm! If helping you with that will also help you to rescue Mederick, then I'll have to put honor aside and tell you what he recently confided to me. Unfortunately, it is very little. A noble with important political aspirations, and his lovely wife, asked the poet to live in their country house, to welcome and entertain their numerous guests. I don't know much about the couple, but I know the man's name is Hammar Colonial. I've heard he went back to Lithavand without even saying goodbye. The fact that many citizens thought he'd be Hawkoria's next mayor makes his departure even more surprising.
