Undermine The Port Authority

Speak with Rahebjeh about Changing Sides Hasti would like you to begin by speaking with Rahebjeh of the Sabet family, who deal in arms and armor.

Hasi says, "I am not among those who has put their family in the hands of the Port Authority. Many of Khal's merchant families disapprove of their dominance and will have no part in it. Unfortunately, many still bend knee to them." She looks you up and down. "If you could help me turn some of the other merchant families over to our side, I would be indebted to you. I will provide detailed instructions if this is something you think you would like to do."

Rahebjeh Sabet You say, "Rahebjeh, I need to speak with you." Rahebjeh raises an eyebrow at you and says, "Oh? About what?" "Hasti sent me to speak with you," you say, "about your family's connections with the Port Authority." Rahebjeh seems to grow quiet. "Oh?" she asks. "What does she want to know about that?" "She knows what she needs to," you say. "She is not looking to learn more, but to sway your opinion." Rahebjeh purses her lips and says, "It is not my opinion she should seek to sway. My father is the Patriarch and my older brother Karim is his heir." "Yet I know you to have more sway with your father than Karim," you say. "Only because Karim has made a few... poor choices," says Rahebjeh. "But though Khal may not follow all her laws, succession is one they maintain." "It would do no good for the family to turn from the Port Authority now," says Rahebjeh, "with Karim becoming the new head any day now. My father is not well at all..." "I am sorry," you say. "Does that mean, though, that you would support turning away?" Rahebjeh shrugs mildly. "I have no love for their methods. In fact, I believe they will be the ruin of this city. Soon enough, they will cross the wrong person, and the city will fall into chaos." "Then why not at least try to take it up with your father?" you ask. "It cannot hurt." "It is, simply, futile," she says. "Karim would only turn back to them in a few days and I risk any authority I would have with him as head of the family." Her eyes steel up for a moment. "My brother was once a good man, but now I fear him," she says. "It breaks my heart to say, but it's true." "Is there any way for the family holdings to pass on to someone else?" you ask. "Rahebjeh says, "Well, obviously death, and also if the current successor commits a serious enough crime." You say, "You do not think Karim has committed any crimes?" "Rahebjeh smiles and says, "I have no doubt that he has, but whether they are considered crimes here or not..." "There must be some crimes in Khal," you say. Rahebjeh suddenly looks thoughtful. "Some..." she says. Quest Completion Rahebjeh says, "You have got me thinking dangerously, Chantillary." She smiles despite herself. Rahebjeh says, "Karim did one thing for which I think even Jaluna Fenn would would have to see him thrown in prison..." "Jaluna Fenn especially, actually."
