Irregular laborers are alleging they were turned away from Bāhira lumenstone mine entrances this morning without explanation. With no comment from the Bāhira mine operators, speculation is running wild as to the reasons for the decision. Many of the Irregulars on the scene bandied theories that the mine closures are tied to rumors of a chest full of lumenstones allegedly being brought to the mayor’s upcoming meeting as leverage and that the Bāhira are tightening their grip on the city’s primary power supply.
“It’s all to do with that bloody meeting. Mark my words, this is a Bāhira stratagem of some sort and us Irregs is all getting the bill at the end of the meal,” said Hugo Turak, Irregulars faction member and mine laborer. Observer gossip columnist Henrietta Hush previously outlined a rumored Bāhira plan to divide the lumenstones up among the Parastins, Irregulars, and Luciole Ltd., while excluding the Gilded faction.
