Echoes of a Father's Wrath

News has spread rapidly about a harrowing incident involving Amin, the son of the esteemed merchant Jalaar. Amin, who had traveled to Byzaris to handle trade deals on behalf of his father, was ambushed and attacked by a group of bandits. The assault appeared to be more than a mere act of random violence; it seemed to target Amin specifically, suggesting that someone had a vendetta against Jalaar or his family, or perhaps after their vast wealth.

Jalaar, who was not present during the attack, was devastated when he learned of the incident. Although Amin was eventually rescued and returned safely, the relief Jalaar felt was quickly overshadowed by his growing anger and concern. The fact that his son was nearly killed in what appeared to be a targeted attack has left him furious and determined to seek justice.

In response, Jalaar has declared a bounty of three thousand coins on the Al-Mughlaqa bandit group, who are believed to be responsible for the attack. He has made it clear that the bandits are wanted dead or alive, showing his resolve to bring those responsible to justice, no matter the cost.

The incident has also cast a dark shadow over the region of Byzaris. The stories of bandit infestations, though perhaps exaggerated, have spread far and wide, causing traders and caravans to avoid Byzaris out of fear for their own safety. The decline in trade has begun to affect the town's economy, threatening the livelihoods of those who depend on commerce.
