It is a sad day for the Sirens. Several of our Sisters have been missing for several days. News came to me this morning that Sister Rowan, Sister Chikita, Sister Varaya, Sister Encrypti and Sister Leahas bodies were found near the Ruins of Leron, in Windy Gate. Their remains are being carried home for a proper burial. Sister Aliyahs whereabouts remain unknown.
We do not know what happened and are seeking the help from our allies and friends to uncover any leads that would help us in solving this mystery and the safe recovery of our missing Sister Alyha. The Sirens have 2. Million dappers placed aside for the reward to the safe recovery of our sister. Donations are being requested to increase the reward for the safe return of our Sister Alyha.
A private ceremony will be held for those close to our Sisters who wish to say a few words on their behalf.
OOC: This is a player run event. Details of the meeting will be send trough the use of in-game emails.

Oh dear, such loss... I don't know what to say.
The discover of this horrible truth must have been one of great pain.
I have spoken to both Chikita and Encrypti, two kind Homins whom always were open for fun and joy. And now...
I hope that they will find joy and happniess where ever they may have spread their wings and flown to.
They might perhaps be gone, but not forgotten. They live in our hearts and memories.
Trixie, my dear friend, and everyone if there is anything I can do please let me know.

2 million million, or just 2 million? I want to make sure that the amount of money here isn't misleading

As you might have already heard several of the Siren Sisters have been killed. One of them, Sister Aliyah, is missing and no trace of her whereabouts have been confirm yet. I fear the worst but Im optimistic and strongly believe that she is in fact alive. The remains of the missing sisters were brought home and their identities have been confirmed. Family and friends have been inform and a small service will be held this Sunday at 2:00 pmEST/7:00 pmGMT in Pyr by the Imperial Hall Square, Flame of Justice.
Several days ago we discovered a map. The map pointed us to a sacred ruin where a very important artifact had been buried by one of our ancestors in order to protect the Secret of Seiren. I immediately gave orders to several of our warrior sisters to verify and retrieve the artifact. The six of them traveled to Windy Gates and I have since lost contact. Until yesterday when the following note was found posted on our door stating that five of the six sisters were found dead. Attached to this note was a strange encryption but we have not been able to decipher the strange language.
I suspect that who ever sent the note knows where our sister is. If one of you recognizes or can translate its meaning. You will be rewarded 1-million dappers for the accurate translation. Please contact Trixie ASAP with the information.
Thank you for your assistance.

I met Trixie near Fairhaven yesterday evening. She showed me the parchment when suddenly an Yber spat on it ! Doh ! Some letters were half erased and we had to spend time trying to guess what the original message was :
L(I?)tqgip akzmiua ivl akzmiua ivl gmb vw wvm kiv pmiz pmz. Gwe(c?) eqtt vmdmz nqvl pmz qv bqum.
The message looked like a normal text with sentences, words and spaces... probably letters have been "shifted". Then I noticed the m letter was often used. I think the e letter is the most used in our language, so i started writing a table with corresponding letters between coded message and our language ... m=e, n=f, o=g, ... That was it ! I could decipher the message in :
Dliyah (Aliyah?) screams and screams and yet no one can hear her. Yow (You?) will never find her in time.
Aliyah is probably in great danger !
I immediately reported the deciphered message to Trixie who asked me to share the translation with you so you can help understand this worrying riddle.
No time to lose, i'll spend the next hours studying my Atys maps. I think the first part of the message is a clue on where to find her so I'll look for a place which name is related to silence or scream.
I'll keep you informed if I find something else.

Thankyou for saving me the trouble of deciphering it, that two million dapper is going to be even easier to earn than I thought. The screams obviously refer to the Zorai tribal shouts popular in some of their festivals. Why doesn't everyone turn their attention to Min-Cho and it's surrounding area while I scout in less likely places. Let me know if you find anything and we can talk about splitting the bounty. If I find the wench then I hope the ransom, ahem I mean, reward can cover the expenses of bringing her home...

This riddle worries me greatly. I know realized that it is written in Seirenidiom. I fear the worst. Please find her.
I have been studying the encryption and it could be that the letters D and C are a clue in itself. Thank you Sumsum, I will keep you posted as soon as I receive more information.
OOC: Congratulations to Sumsum for translating the encryption. I hold your reward until Sundays memorial service.

Attention, Attention!! Last night as I was returning from the lakes I noticed a stranger coming out from the doors to the Sirens Guild Hall. When he saw me he ran off. I didnt give him much thought until I noticed the note that was attached to our door. I asked Deckos Meckops our caretaker and he confirmed that the note was just left by old men who spoke in strange language.
The note:
Qdm ammv I oqzt wqbp zml piqz jcb Qu wcbtie bw mvbm ackp zeqwv. Qtt abig pmzm qv bpm lcvma, ainm kzwu Sqbqva nwz q pidm vw axavm. Qdm ammv zml piqz oqzt akzmiua ivl akzmiua ivl gmb vw wvm kiv pmiz pmz. Gwc eqtt vmdmz nqvl pmz qv bqum.
I know there is a message here and hopefully the location where Sister Aliyah is. I hope to gather some friends soon and start a search party to seek out the stranger. I believe he is still in Pyr and could not have gone far. If anyone has any clues that can help us with this new riddle please contact me ASAP. You will be kindly rewarded for your help.
