Rumors run rampant…
“And what do you know about it anyway Ramiro? You weren’t there!” “No, I was at Maverick’s. I saw what happened there.” “So what did happen there?” “That was why Contarini wasn’t at Minotaur’s, why there was no showing from them at the Salwain Pageant either.” “Well can the suspense, what?” “The Head of the House was off confronting the Lasombra of Maverick’s, over the influx of Templars here. He brought the full force of the fact that there’ve been two Contarini Doge’s in Venice’s history into the argument.” Anthony gives that news digestion. “Why?” “Templars are bad for business, you know that. They scare the crap out of the common people, rob the merchants, boss around the church folk, and in theory are supposed to guard the citizens from foreigners and the Devil’s men, but personally I’d rather have a Hospitaller if it came to that. At least they drink.” Anthony lowers his voice and his head subconsciously. “I saw a gang of Templars wearing silver coin necklaces; it struck me as strange, I thought they didn’t do jewelry much.” Ramiro pales and crosses his lips warningly. “That may mean they work for the Order of Iscariot. Say nothing more about them.”
