Bruna's Espionage

The Caliphate's surveillance operation against Alaric, conducted by their agent Bruna.

The Operation

Bruna has been assigned by the Caliphate to maintain surveillance on someone identified only as "A" - almost certainly Alaric, the disavowed spy turned bandit leader.

The Instructions

The Letter to Bruna discovered by the party contains explicit orders:

Remember the blood that binds you and the oaths that hold. Your duty to your family remains paramount. Continue your reports on "A" without fail. We depend on your eyes and ears.

Leverage and Loyalty

The letter reveals that Bruna's service is not voluntary - she is bound by:

• Blood ties to her family
• Oaths that must be honored
• Family duty described as "paramount"
• The implicit threat that her family's safety depends on her compliance

This suggests Bruna's family is either being held or threatened by the Caliphate to ensure her cooperation.

Intelligence Gathering

Bruna is tasked with:

• Continuous monitoring of Alaric's activities
• Regular reporting back to Caliphate handlers
• Maintaining her cover while conducting surveillance
• Acting "with diligence" in her duties

Current Status

The espionage operation is ongoing. Bruna continues to report on Alaric, unaware that the party has discovered the letter revealing her role as a Caliphate agent.

Complications

• Alaric may or may not be aware he is under surveillance
• The party's knowledge of Bruna's role could be used as leverage
• Bruna's family situation creates potential for manipulation or rescue
• The Caliphate's interest in Alaric suggests he remains valuable despite his disavowal
