strangers in the night

I met some strangers today, scrapping with some ruffians. They are my best chance at making some coin. They are acquainted with the Traders' Guild. I have nothing left to lose.
 
They spoke of the voice. What dark magic could this be? What sorcery could cause thousands of people to hear the same voice?
 
My mind is racing. I believed the Father of Death had called out to me. Could this be false? Could it have been some crazed sorcerer, locked in some tower on the other side of the world? Seeking to destroy my mind, and drive me mad?
 
Perhaps the father of death has plans for me. Perhaps he does not wish to meet me yet.
