Whisper Network: You maintain contacts in Brightwater's merchant guilds and tavern circuit. You can reliably learn one significant rumor about a person, organization, or event within the city by spending an hour and a few coins.
I never share information for free — everything has a price.
I introduce myself with a different name in every district.
Knowledge: Information is the truest currency.
Freedom: No guild, no lord, no oath owns me.
A contact in the canal wards went silent. I need to find out what happened.
I keep a coded journal of every secret I've ever learned. Losing it would be catastrophic.
I can't resist eavesdropping, even when it puts me in danger.
I've burned too many bridges to ever fully trust an ally.
