Sajia was cautious, sometimes to the point of being ruthless just to be safe.
The very night he arrived in Oupheir, the city that had requested aid, a small team began to move from the city's outskirts into the countryside.
Their movements were swift and secretive as they investigated house by house. If they found any unidentified idols, suspicious ritualistic items, or questionable symbols, they would knock out the occupants, capture them, and toss them into a wagon.
The items would be sealed and transported away. The fate of those associated with the Cult would be decided after a cursory trial, and to ensure no target was missed, most were to be burned to ashes.
The ones responsible for this operation were the "Firewood Carriers" of the Tower of Primordial Fire. They were similar to the Star Robe Mages of the Valois Guild, carrying out special missions that required force, loyalty, and courage.
