Dialogue
Intro
- Shani:
- I will be forward with you.
- There is a traitor in al-Merayah.
- Here, seething in these very streets as we speak. This snake feeds information to the cultits.
- I am to blame. I was too trusting, I should never have relied on anyone but Marya.
- Forgive my anger. You have done good things for us.
- One of Cairo's trade-princes is among us.
- I think they scent opportunity for profit on the desert wind.
- We arranged a bartering in secret, as much as I dislike secrets, but the Atenists knew. They knew!
- Our snake was watching us, even then.
- But perhaps it has shed some of its scales.
- A trail that a patient hunter could follow.
- Be wary, it could be anyone...
- I can't understand.
- Does our history means nothing?
- Does their freedom mean nothing?
- The trade-prince, I spoke to him of this.
- He told me, if I truly want to understand humanity, I need only read the comments section on Youtube.
- I hate the Internet.
Tier 3
- Informant:
- The Templars' zeal is of no consequence. We will show you the meaning of true faith.
Journal Entries
- Tier 1: Shani arranged a secret meeting with an unlikely ally in al-Merayah. Somehow the cultists knew about this meeting. They must have an informant in the village.
- Go to the restaurant where Shani had her secret meeting
- Find a way inside
- Look for clues
- Tier 2: You found a polaroid of Shani meeting with something called "the Kingdom" and a drop-off point for the photo. Go look for the informant and try to find out what he knows and who his contacts are.
- Go to the drop-off point
- Find a way inside
- Look for clues
- Tier 3: In the apartment there was a computer. Checking "sent items" revealed an email indicating a meeting point in the south of the village. The recipient was only referred to as "Master." The signature, "Praise to the Aten," points to cultist involvment
- Go to the drop-off point
- Find a way to the roof
- Defeat the informant
- Flee the scene

Report
Dragon
Betrayal is inevitable. Only fools are surprised by it.
This informant - this traitor - exposed the Marya. But he also exposed much else that was hidden. His treachery created a link between the Marya and its enemies, a trail of deceit that revealed evidence of yet more links - meetings, messages, relationships - every one of them a bridge that takes us further into the unknown.
This man may once have been a Dragon. He may even have been conditioned to seek out the enemy. It matters not. All that matters is what we learn and where it leads us.

The traitor was "special" like you. Goes to show you can't trust people, unless they're grafted with a tracking chip. We have supreme confidence in you, by the way.
It's also worth noting that he was a Dragon, or used to be. We intercepted a message they sent out to their agents about "re-misconstructing" things. Ugh. It's no wonder these guys go off the deep end.
As you proceed, you'll need to make snap judgements out there. My advise: evaluate based on clothing.
Atenists: wacky (unhinged). Marya: drab (functional). The prune-prince in the polaroid: snazzy (connected).

The Marya's betrayer was a prodigious member of the secret world, like you. The difference is he arrived under the Dragon's banner. The Dragon deny their affiliation, of course. It is impossible to know what is what in that organisation.
This informant's falsity nearly secured Egypt eons of devilish worship. Indeed, it is a skill to know when to extend one's hand and when to withdraw it.
As you track the Atenist master, you may have to extend your hand to people who lack our moral standards. I recommend you wear gloves.
