Briefing

Garrett's diary:
Slowly but surely it's getting wintry again. Normally I would enjoy it because I like the long dark nights in winter... more time for me to 'work'. But annoyingly there are fewer jobs each week and a lot of amateurs 'visit' the nobles and 'steal' my work. Last night, though, a messenger appeared in front of my humble abode. This fellow was really nervous, looking left and right the whole time as if he were being pursued. Anyway, he offered an interesting job - the most interesting part was the 5000 in advance! For his master (the fellow wasn't about to tell me his name) I'm supposed to break into the estate of the Hammerite, Lord Cantwell. There I need to search for a specific valuable book called the Book of Death, which was written by the Masters of the dark arts centuries ago. The messenger also told me something about a forgotten guild of magicians.
Their tower - called the Tower of the Black Arts - is said to have been destroyed and then swallowed up by a terrible disaster around 300 years ago. Older people in the city always used to say that the eastern hill isn't of natural origin. Most people dismiss this as nonsense, though. However, Cantwell believes these rumours and has started an excavation on his estate which rests on this hill. The messenger also said that informants reported to his master that Cantwell's workers will soon advance into the library of the old guild.
