Hi Maggie!
Did the new Ordina Rossu Morta quest. Talk to Barsinni in the Chapter House and learn that the man from the rollout article was last seen at 83W, 54S, which is by Ayan. When you get there, you can talk to the corpse to get his last notes. Bring those back to Barsinni, and he will ask you to get the information back from the assassins that killed the scout and give you 2.5 million exp.

You can find the Assassin's hideout at 54.7S, 80.7W. It's level 120, no tie and no recall, although the exit portal is recallable.

Once you are in, just hug the left wall. In it you will find Reapers, Doomsharks, and Fledglings (a new level 155 human). Some of the fledglings have hollow weapons, but no big deal.

At the end is Acolyte Herren, in pyreal green scale! Kill him to get a key to his chest. The chest has the Intercepted Note that you are looking for, and maybe a new Royal Runed weapon! One in three of our party got one.

There is also a piece of lore on the ground called Herren's Orders

Return the note to Barsinni for 12.5 million exp.

Shen-Mara of Leafcull, with thanks to Kiriya Nightcloak and Lyc!

Barsini tells you, "Come closer, friend, you might be able to help me. One of our messengers vanished on the way back from a meeting with some, ah, new associates. He was last seen in a wooded Direlands valley, around 83W, 54S. He was bringing back some very important information for us. We must assume he was intercepted. Find him, but most importantly, find the information he was bringing back to us!

You search the fallen messenger's corspe and turn up a scrap of paper with some scribbled writing on it.
Lost Messenger's Corpse gives you Messenger's Journal.

You have already searched the messenger's corspe and found a page of his journal. Nothing of interest remains.

You give Barsinni Messenger's Journal.
You've earned 2,500,000 experience.
Barsinni tells you, "So it seems to me that our messenger was intercepted, and most likely by these people he spotted... YOu must investigate this assassins' hideout he wrote of. It says here that the hideout is not that far east of where he was brought down. Go there and retrieve the message he was carrying for us. For now, I will reward you for finding this page of the messenger's note..."

The Acolyte Herren's Chest has been unlocked.
Your key is used up.

You give Barsinni Intercepted Note.
Barsinni tells you, "The betraying bastards. How dare they double-cross us on our own double cross! The information we gave them was valid, but imcomplete. The ritual will fail catastrophically without Count Dardante there to guide their clumsy efforts! Those fools of the Raven Hand may have doomed us all!"
Barsinni calms himself down and looks steadily at you.
Barsinni tells you, "Very well. Preparations must be made. We will all be terribly busy in the coming days. I am sure. I must reward you for your loyal service."
You've earned 12,500,000 experience.

Barsinni tells you, "You've already retrieved the Intercepted Note for me, haven't you? I don't have anything else for you at the moment."
