Prelude to Invaders
One step outside of your home - be it the lush rooms of a mansion or the harsh stone and dirt ground of the ruins - will tell you there is something wrong: a tension in the air.
Look closely, and you may see why.
There are missing persons posters appearing all over the city. A few at first, and then more - and they are not all looking for the same person.
Listen closely and you may overhear the whispers.
...just went out to set up his fruit stand in the marketplace. I don't know where he is. No one saw--
--never came back from school yesterday. Have you seen--
--said his wife just disappeared. I don't know where she could have got off to, she isn't--
There are dozens of stories, each muttered under the breath of a distressed or nervous person. Mothers, fathers, children, husbands, wives... vanishing without a trace.
It probably isn't surprising that sometimes suspicious eyes fall on you.
[ooc notes: Anatolians are disappearing... and no one knows where they've gone. There have been no witnesses. There is no trace of them at all. There is no pattern to their vanishing. Some of the residents are looking to the Scorched as a scapegoat... but in truth, no one has any leads, or any clue. Investigate if you like. In time, all will be revealed.]
