The next notable event is the public declaration that Hey Look! Fairies! Alendi has arranged for there to be as large a crowd as possible, and enlisted the Canton of Orthodoxy to pass it on to everyone else. He announces that the empire is threatened and exactly how, and warns everyone not to speak any names out loud and to make very certain of where all their food is coming from.
He introduces Promise to the crowd as being the one fairy (so far) to voluntarily take their side. By the end of it, no matter where Thorn's people arrive any bystander will be able to tell them that Promise and the Lord Ruler are in Kredik Shaw. It'll make it safer to be somewhere else in a week.
Everyone seems to believe it—possibly the fact that everything he said was true helped—and he didn't even have to use magic.
