Residents have noted unusual sounds from lower levels, but investigations have not confirmed sources. The activity's nature suggests mounting clandestine exchanges or faction movements. Authorities remain cautious, monitoring the area for signs of escalation or conflict that could spill into the surface city. The lack of transparency fuels speculation about new alliances or threats forming in the shadows beneath Sphodel.
