| You've seen the following "Wanted" poster. Apparently, Shilukar has broken into a number of manor homes in the Nobles’ Quarterand stolen valuables of all types. Many of these homes are owned by members of House Abanar. It is not clear how House Abanar got the dark elf's name (such as through divination spells) without also getting his location. | | You've seen the following "Wanted" poster.

| Rumor has it that the secret of creating shivvel was passed on to humans by a demon. The Balacazars (noble family) are believed to control virtually all of the shivvel traffic in Ptolus. Most people consider it to be the most commonly used illegal drug. | | Rumor has it that the secret of creating shivvel was passed on to humans by a demon.

| |
− | In Ptolus, the City Watch itself is more of a deterrent than a force that investigates crimes. If they get there too late to apprehend a criminal in the act, they tend to file a report and forget about it, unless it becomes a repeating pattern by the same criminals. However, the Commissar (the de facto ruler of Ptolus) has a group called the Twelve Commanders, powerful members of other groups who advise him and come to the city's aid if there are any issues. One of the Twelve Commanders is the local leader of the Order of the Dawn, the martial arm of the Lothianite Church. The core members of the order are all paladins, but there is a large support staff comprised of clerics, fighters and even wizards.

− | My idea is that you are one of the support staff for the Order of the Dawn, and Sir Kabel Dathimol (the paladin who leads the order locally and is one of the Twelve Commanders) has attached you to the city watch to help actually investigate crimes. Your focus, as you note above, is the non-human population of Ptolus, and you have a lot of freedom to come and go as you please because the City Watch doesn't really know what to do with you, so you're left to do your thing mostly without interference (as long as you don't cause too much trouble). You have to make reports back to Sir Dathimol periodically on your efforts, but you are the guinea pig in an experiment that may or may not be successful.

− | The City Watch at this point mostly just gives you information about non-human crimes in the city as they get reports, to do with as you will. But it's mostly up to you. [https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/semi-closed-recruitment-d-d-5e-ptolus-game.852790/post-22839888 link]
