Four days after the death of the witch Tanala, there's yet another high profile assassination. This time the victim is Baneydol d'n Aluseyn, Guildmaster of the Guild of Construction. Baneydol, much like Tanala, was an extreme kandar chauvinist, who restricted humans in his guild to labouring positions. He died, along with both his bodyguards and two bystanders, when the assassin threw a bomb from across the street. A great many others suffered injuries, while the assassin made good his escape in the confusion. The following morning, the city was covered with slogans in the same red paint as before Tanala was first Baneydol was second Who will be next? Yet again, people were press-ganged into cleaning up this graffiti; this time it wasn't just street layabouts, but the guilds diverted any surplus labour to the task. In the case of the Karazthan, that meant Roy and Hank, using some foul-smelling cleaning agent on non-porous surfaces, or a coat of whitewash (or greenwash or pinkwash or bluewash) on porous ones. A week after that incident, there's an amazing sight in the skies above Calbeyn. An airship! Those who claim to know about such things say that only three of four of these craft still exist in the whole of Kalyr. It's the first to be seen in the city for many years, an indication that whatever or whoever it carries are extremely important. It ties up to a mast above the Karazthan, which nobody can ever remember seeing before. It doesn't begin unloading until after dark, when witnesses report a great many sealed boxed and containers being lowered and carried into the Karazthan.
