"Whispers"

Look at this fucking guy. This picture was taken in Burdale on April 9, 1859. That's our fucking Barkeep. I don't mean it looks like him. That's him. If you've ever been to the Burdale Bar, you know that's him. Now here's the fun part. There was a tavern owner living in Burdale around this time named Barty Aldrich. Five years after this picture was taken, Barty went up Conjure Mountain as one of the Sickened Seven. He was one of only three people who came back down and didn't die. So......

I've mentioned The Drone before, but I've never really talked about it beyond the basics. Once a month, Burdale hums and vibrates. That's the simplest way I can describe it. It's a low, mechanical sound that seems to come from somewhere in the distance, except nobody can ever agree on which direction it's coming from. And it always starts at 10:28p. Not around 10:30. Not usually sometime after ten. 10:28p. I've asked enough people and checked enough accounts at this point that I'm comfortable...

It's Peter "Pete" Baker. It wasn't hard at all to figure out. The names of the 23 miners are public record and there are only 22 names left on the memorial. What I want to know is why somebody hated Pete Baker enough to remove him from it. Peter was the husband of Birdie Baker, who I've talked about...
