Several hundreds flyers with Maavu Arlintal's plea for action has been found in Cauldron "Fellow citizens, hear me! Hear my voice and repeat my words tenfold so that those who have turned their backs on us are forced to hear! Hear me, for I speak for all of us!  My name is Maavu Arlintal, and I am one of you! I call Cauldron my home even though I have been unjustly exiled! I lived here and I did business here and have for many years! Many of you know me, and I know you… We are all hard-working, trustworthy people!  Hard times have fallen upon this land! The roads grow more dangerous and threatens to cut us off from our neighbors and partners in trade! An inn full of people – one of them the high priest of one of our own temples – were all senselessly murdered not a ten-day ride from here! In recent days, dragons – yes, dragons – have threatened the skies and the passes! Stories of creatures unthinkable lurk in the fringes of the wild.   Demons, constructs, kidnappers, all have plagued Cauldron.  But we are a tough people and have weathered tough times before! Heroes and brave citizens like yourself have answered the challenges of protecting us and our lands, though others have been charged with that duty…  But the troubles have also found us at home… We have suffered in recent months, as our sons and daughters were stolen away from us by evil lurking beneath our streets! We have suffered as the rains came and flooded our dear city and threatened to erode the very foundations of our livelihoods! A vile umber hulk from the darkened tunnels of the Abyss itself have torn through our homes and businesses in broad daylight – I know, for I suffered a great loss that day, though I came away with my life, and consider myself fortunate, and mourn those who perished. But again, we have not lain down, for we know how to get through hard times. Again, we have been blessed by the actions of brave citizens who have put their lives on the line to defend the defenseless. And again, others who should have answered that call have done nothing!    Alas, I misspeak, for actions have been taken. The leaders of Cauldron have spoken through the voice of the tax collectors! They offer promises with each outstretched palm, with each cut they take! For the good of Cauldron, they say! To repair the damage, they claim! To help those in need, they promise. But what have they done with your hard-earned coin? Nothing! Where are the repairs to the buildings damaged by the flood? They have not done any! Warehouses stand abandoned, about to fall into the lake! Where are the repairs to the street and the structures attacked by the hulk? They have not been done! And I was not the only one to lose business and property that day… There are many who have received nothing but empty words for their suffering! As I said, many of you know me, and you know me as a man of action. I am not one to complain without a plan of recourse! I am here to say that Cauldron needs new leadership, a new protector who is not corrupt on power or gold. I am here to tell you that a challenge has been issued for the removal of Michelle Castilian as Captain of the Town Guard.  A formal written challenge, which has been presented to Castilian and the Lord Mayor. This challenge invokes one of Cauldron’s oldest laws, the Law of Peers. Under this law, the five founding families of Cauldron have the right to challenge the office of the Captain of the Town Guard if one of them should feel that he unworthy, immoral, or incapable of seeing to his duties, which is the protection of the people. This law, laid down with the founding stones of our city, has never been needed – until now.   By the Law of Peers, only one of the five founding noble families has the right to challenge the Captain of the Guard. This does not leave much hope that one with the interests of the common citizen – of you and I – will be represented. But I am here to tell you that the one who has issued the challenge is such a person. They herald from one of the founding lineages, but their life has not been one of pampered luxury. They know what it means to suffer, as you do, and to rise above it, as you have before. The challenger is indeed one of the brave, heroic citizens who I have spoken of who is willing to risk death to protect and help our city. I am speaking of Alek Tercival.   Sir Tercival, Cauldron's only paladin of Athena, had issued this challenge in accordance with the old ways, and the Laws of our city. But so far, no response has been made. By law, the issued challenge should be made public by the Lord Mayor, but Vahlanru hopes to protect his puppet Castilian by keeping the challenge secret!  Since the challenge has been issued, Alek Tercival has turned up missing.  Strange tiding indeed.  The very person capable to challenge for the leadership of the guard and to challenge the Lord Mayor’s authority has turned up missing.    I, Maavu Arlintal, true born citizen of Cauldron, merchant, and employer of many, ask of you to not to allow such corruption to fester in our fair city.  I ask for all of you to stand up together and face the threat that is the Lord Mayor and the council.   I ask of you to look into your hearts and decide if it is to be a life of oppression and lies, we shall be given, or the freedom and liberty that we all deserve.
