(This story occurs around the time of Eavesdropping)

Tohid was a very popular politician who was very vocal against both
the Mechanists and Sheriff Truart. He had foreseen the rise of a
totalitarian regime made of an alliance between the Mechanists and the
Sheriff. In his numerous speeches and rallies he managed to gather a
strong following and become a serious threat. However, about two weeks
ago, he suddenly "disappeared". People started asking questions at first but
as often happens, gradually forgot about him. That was until last
night when he reappeared on the scene, having become a Mechanist
and ardent fan of the Sheriff. In a speech in the Soulforge he
denounced all his previous claims and called himself a servant of
Karras. This caused outrage among his followers who subsequently
abandoned him.

Of course I never cared about any of this, up until now that
is. Now that the Mechanists and the Sheriff want me dead,
I need to find out what exactly went on with the Tohid
affair. My only clue is that his disappearance happened in this
small nearby city where he was going to give a speech. Checking out the
local police station is a good start...It's a long way; I'd better travel light tonight.
