You meet an unkempt, unshaven man. He wears travelling clothes, and is armed, and yet was still trapped here. He looks very glad to see you.

"We were captured through our carelessness. We were hiding on one of the northern islands, but we didn't flee soon enough when the invasion came. They caught us while we were leaving."

"We are traitors to the Empire, and gave Exile information which helped them assassinate Hawthorne. For that, they had planned a vicious punishment indeed."

"We lived on one of the northern islands, in a well guarded tower. We were a great help to Exile. But when the invasion came, when we fled the tower, they caught us."
"But it doesn't matter! We can escape now."

"We told them how to get assassins to the surface to slay Emperor Hawthorne. It worked. So I guess the invasion is, in part, our fault." She sighs. "Now that you've helped us, I wish I could assist you."
