"He told me early on... back when we were starting to look into this stuff, the greycloaks, the merging...

Look, I know this is really roundabout, but what I'm saying is that I think the Vahishta was pretty in with the greycloaks, and I think you need to be careful of your own guild. Like, obviously, not all of them, but there'll be some still involved. And I don't think they'll be just some random new recruits, either."
