Effectuator

Mystery is found throughout Talislanta, from the city streets of Cymril to the forests of Werewood. Many of these mysteries are related to crimes, such as the whereabouts of murderers and thieves, as well as the location of stolen or smuggled goods. Effectuators go out in search of these mysteries, and can be hired for a modest fee. They are experts in uncovering information of all kinds. Talking to thieves, smugglers and other miscreants is a common tactic for gathering information, though the bribing of certain officials can garner similar results. Often times, an effectuator must stoop to spying on suspects, and so stealth is a coveted skill. Learning local laws is also a useful skill for an effectuator, as it allows him some leverage with certain informants. It is easy for these sleuths to make enemies, so all successful effectuators learn some form of self-defense.
