Dear Residents of Preya,
My name is Cassiopeia Black. For those of you who do not know me, I am part of Preya's magical community. I do not speak in any official capacity, but as a very concerned citizen.
It is my understanding that a number of the recent 'disappearances' were in fact residents of Preya being taken by ship to an island belonging to the ruler of Preya, for a holiday. While they may have enjoyed their sojourn away, I must condemn this action in the strongest possible terms. If the ruler and his advisors wished to extend the gift of a holiday to these residents, why in the world would they not inform them in advance, giving them the opportunity to notify their friends and family?
It is especially concerning if we consider that other, unexplained disappearances have taken place. One is hesitant to suggest deliberate manipulation of events or a wish to spread fear. I do suspect insensitivity rather than malice. However, it seems essential to speak against this. Where I come from, it is the duty of the community's most advantaged to have the courage to set an example to the others. I have not been personally affected by recent events, and that is why I am speaking out. As an observer, they seem both alarming and confusing.
I call upon the ruler, his advisors and associates, and the council of Preya to condemn kidnapping and abduction for any purpose, however well-intentioned.

I don't believe they'd dare come after me for such a public declaration. All the same, I'm sending Arcturus to stay with you for a few days. I've told him not to be any trouble. Check your protective wards.
