The tale take place in Sherbourg, capital of the Saronnean colony of Aradie. Of focus is a pair of rooks, high-minded Jassart LeBlanc and laid-back Blaise Dansereau.

The two later find out that the thief has been stealing from the wards of various rooks -- a big no-no according to the rook code -- and promptly throwing the treasures aside.
