Stomping Mad

---

General Batua has been asking for you, Ascended. He was stomping around the city, cursing Crucia every third step. Nobody dared to get in his way. We would all appreciate if you could speak to him. He is frightening the merchants.

Crucia's deceit is plain to me -- why can no one else see it? Or perhaps others see just fine but choose to ignore it. Some are no doubt hopeful that Crucia will join our side and share her vast knowledge and technology. Damn fools, I say. Ascended, it is time to halt this madness.
