Disinformation

From that day onward, a strange rumor started to float around the nooks and crannies of Ravenfell - the criminal organization known as Umbra Thieves had tried to assassinate the Patriarch of the Flynn Family and had miserably failed.

The one behind spreading this rumor was naturally Elysande Flynn.

Given the resources at her hand and the influence she wielded, this was the best way she knew to cast a light on her enemies who were hiding in the shadows.

Manipulating public opinion!

She understood the landscape of the city very well and knew that the ones that held sway over public opinion were none other than influential nobles, respected Magi, popular bards, and powerful merchants.

Elysande also deeply understood the society's cultural values, beliefs, and superstitions. This allowed her to tailor a message to resonate with the public.
