Some of the rumors about the murders are:
- They were traitors to Sshamath, and were secretively working with the new drider tribe in order to subvert Sshamath.
- They were worshippers of the moon goddess Eilistraee, and that House Sshamath has hired assassins to deal with them.
- That the Charnag are killing civilians in order to scare the population into supporting the construction of the Vharr Latyema towers. (This is even more discussed after the incident at the Spider's Kiss)
More and even stranger rumors can also be heard, but they so unlikely that they aren't worth mentioning.
