The Dukes…the shining light of failure surrounding us all, providing us with war, famine, drought, and most recently plague and death. with no decent guidance, lack of strength and the endurance of the elderly. The one Truth is the leadership of this city has failed us all.

Prosperity …now barely a flickering flame in the winds of evil spewing forth from cowardly maws…

The City around us crumbles to its core, the weak leadership barely permeating the thick, choking stench of evil surrounding the lands. The Government has become corrupt, common thieves walk the street and the virtues and laws of Holy Orders that aid the Government upon this vast city have failed you and served their own interests for far to long.

Holy Orders both benign and cancerous to the lives of many good-souled peoples threaten our way of life, and in our streets and homes, A Good and Just life is far from realized. Be it stealing donations from the very people the raised gold for to the tarnished roses refusing to help the good people of Beregost during the war letting innocents suffer and die. These same orders have failed you time and again most recently allowing the plague into our fair city in place of taking the fight outside of it. Furthermore letting the Dong of the Morning and the Neverwatch help when they never should have left Amn.

Our hope dims, but our strength and our perseverance do not. For we are the brothers and sisters of the Crimson Blades, of the City that shines bright in each of our souls. Through our Swords and through our shields prosperity will reign in our homes once more.

…these are but few of our lives' work, and for these we will lay down our lives to bring order back into the lives of the wretched and ignorant Dukes.

The Dukes must be snuffed, perfection decayed, order dissolved, and minds fragmented. The plague of travesties this city has suffered shall not stay long, for the tide of the divine crashes against the very bastions that seek to hold us back. And in the end…

we shall prevail…

The Crimson Blades

They Parchment are only up briefly before Fist patrols remove them. If asked about the Crimson Blades those Fist taking down the Parchments reveal the following.


Background Brief Lore found out from the fist if asked
The Crimson Blades were a unit of the fist composed mostly of Mercenaries who came to the sword coast to join the Flaming Fist and lived in and operated out of Beregost Prior to the War with Amn. After the War the whole unit vanished after their families were slaughtered when Beregost fell. Since then they have directed hit and miss attacks against the Dukes interests but mostly remained unnoticed until now.

A small, child-like form in beggar's rags can be seen near one of the wanted posters. When she moves on, however, the poster is gone.

Later that day, however, the hin known as Dram Goodbar is seen replacing it.

Osmodeus notices the posters and the counter posters. "Hmm... someone finally speaks the truth about the dukes and they are angry about it. Aww does someone need some cheese with their wine?" He laughs and continues on his way.
