A Flurry of Intrigue (event)
The strand turns into a shadow which rapidly spreads to engulf me. Around me, I hear whispers, though what they are saying is impossible to discern. I am then taken on a series of visions of affairs not meant for the light of day - a vassal and their councilor talking in a hushed tone about their liege. A clandestine meeting between two people of interest I had never realized knew each other. A servant eavesdropping on their master. A letter that could cause disaster if it falls into the wrong — or right — hands.
Each of these visions is too short, fragmented and dreamlike to give information that may be of immediate use, but my eyes are ever so slightly more open to the goings-on of the realm that lies behind the curtain of public life and knowledge.
My eyes are open.
