Greetings, Sapience.

I come to you today on behalf of the Crystalline Circle, with a warning
and an offer.

First, the warning. Ariela, the tutor of the Crystalline Circle, is
currently engaged in a matter that necessitates her presence around
Sapience in places other than our House Estate. Do not mistake this to
mean that she is no longer Crystalline, nor that she is no longer under
our protection. Should you molest her in her travels, you will face the
consequences just as you would were she still within Shallam, and any
protestations having to do with her location or loyalties will be met
with an extremely unsympathetic audience.

And the offer: The Crystalline Circle is willing to reward up to fifty
credits each for information that leads us to the location the
following:
- One of four Elemental beings known as elemental minions, who were seen
a few years ago disappearing in the four cardinal directions.
- A star-shaped crystal formerly in the possession of Ariela.

Anyone able to induct into the Circle is available to receive and
forward on information on these matters, but only the Order of the Nexus
can determine what, if any, reward is to be given out and award it as
necessary. Be assured that all leads will be investigated before
payment.
