A man wearing dull gray robes slowly walked into Peleg square.  He glanced around before quickly
 nailing a sign to the door of the Inn.  All across Bernia, a similarly dressed figure did the same
 at every town square.  All of them seemed to disappear from town as they finished thier tasks.  A
 crowd soon gathered to read what the signs say:

Zalbag, where ever you may be...  We cannot allow your arrogance to be the cause of distruction
 within Bernia.  You have shown Us enough so as to give Us a vague threat to Bernia.  If you do not
 throw out this arrogance, and look for the truth... then We will have no choice but to have Our
 greatest warrior challenge you.  If you win, We will let you alone to do what you choose... But if
 We win, you must listen to us, and defend Bernia at all costs...  If you deny any challenge We may
 present, Our fears will become reality, and We cannot allow that to happen.

At the bottom of each sign, is a small mark.  That of a dagger surrounded by a glowing blue aura of
 some kind.
