Though tensions were high due to Pylia and Kor, Shor made sure to listen to you carefully and make it clear that despite his subordinate's words, he was in command here. "Of course. I know all too well how dangerous information can be when it incites a panic. I'll make sure to keep this information confidential." As he, his group, and Ferric listened to you, they all seemed a mixed of tense, frighten, and confused. "The Black Dragon..." Aisha said quietly. She took a step away from the group to think about this. Yorik didn't seem to grasp the full implications of this information. "Black Dragon? Dat some sorta gang? Or do ya mean... A real dragon?" The two halflings were quiet, just glancing at each other. Suddenly, Shortfang sprang from his back, looking right at you. This caused the guards to immediately grab their weapons, however Shor raised his hand to stop them. "What's a kobold doing here!?" Kor said out loud. Shortfang however didn't pay any attention to them and looked right at you.

"Boss! You have dragon dream too!? Shortfang have dragon dream too! Shortfang left home because bad dragon dream! He returns, Calamity Dragon Kalmeet!" Shortfang seemed to be really intense about this. The others were very wary with Shortfang, however Shor gave them a harsh look to put their weapons down. "Enough! Lower your weapons. Just because he's a kobold doesn't mean he's with the dragon... Hopefully." He took a deep breath, rubbing his face in distress. "But this is worse than I thought. This... Ah..." Shor looked at you with his arms crossed. 

"Well, I suppose since you already know of the dragon, there's no harm in me telling you this; we've heard rumors of the dragon's return. What's been keeping me and my men busy are rumors of cultists who worship the dragon and the destruction it brings. At first it was nothing more than lies told to the poor and desperate, to trick them into a scam and sell what little they had to hedonism and gluttony. Recently however, we've received reports of more organized actions by a group called 'Elysium' who have been sowing chaos in the lands. It's mostly been kidnappings and robberies, low level thuggery... But the fact that we've received no ransom notes, as well as most of the robberies being things such as tools and supplies as oppose to riches, makes many within the guard concerned that these truly aren't just the acts of pretty criminals. What cultists we've managed to capture speak of almost nothing but the dragon's return and death it'll cause. Apparently these people see the dragon's return as some form of cleansing, and plan to live out the rest of their days pleasurably and ensure the dragon's rampage is absolute. Sufficient to say, that isn't good."
