Codex text
More new faces in Dock Town looking for work. Say they're refugees from the front, but the scars tell a different story.
The shutdown of that textile mill north of Asariel was all over the broadsheets. Story says sold to new owners, but word on the street is that it's another successful slave rebellion. In just the past year—the South Nocen Shipyard, the caravan moving slaves to Ventus, the mines in the Hundred Pillars. Perhaps more, if they kept it quiet.
If you know who to ask, and you ask about the rebellions, you'll hear about the Viper. They say he arrives, helps the slaves, finds them new lives, then disappears. I like the sound of it.
Slave rebellions used to get put down easy. Something's changed. Is it just this mysterious Viper? Or is there something else going on here?
