"They didn't tell you?", Runaka replies with amazement.

"Tanala is dead", she says.  "Killed by an assassin.  Crossbow bolt
from a rooftop.  Assassin also went after her lover, that Knight, but
the bolt missed his heart, and he lives.  The Academy is in uproar;
Tanala's acolytes are baying for blood".

"Most rational people are blaming human terrorists, but the conspiracy
theories are starting to spread; I've heard the the Black Hand ordered
the hit to stir up anti-human feelings.  What the true is, I don't
know".

"At the moment, nobody in the Academy knows of your return to the
city,and at the moment, the fewer people know, the better".
