The House of Gond has long been overlooked by many travelers and locals in Essembra. For the many decades that Gulmarin Reldacap, the High Smith, has been in charge here they have operated a mostly closed door - only briefly and quickly (and grumpily) dealing with the matters brought to them by craftsfolk, faithful, and even church visitors. Still, the works that came from Reldacap's private workshop have gone down in renown among his colleagues, rumor has it that the venerable priest's mortal clock has ticked its last tock.
Early last month -Nightal- a few nosy folk spotted that Caldeen, Reldacap's personal assistant, was hiring messengers at the Watchful Eye and swiftly dispatched them. A day ago, a spectacle arrived in response. A halfling man, clad in bright saffron with a broad hat atop his head, wandered into town on the shoulders of a strange, metal man. This weird mechanical figure set him down in front of the House of Gond, and the pair of them disappeared into the temple and have not yet ventured back out.
Today, Caldeen emerged from the temple to pin the following notice to the door.
