Camelot Grab Bag Q&A

Q: First I noticed the man in Camelot named Martha. Since he was near the Guild of Shadows I thought perhaps he was some shady char trying out a new disguise, though the name Martha would have caused less suspicion if he'd shaved the beard and moustache.
Next I noticed an identical man in Jordheim also named Martha. Curiouser and curiouser. Immediately I went to Tir na Nog to find a suspected third Martha, and there he was.
None of these Martha's will speak to my chars. What is this Martha gambit, this invasion of the Marthas? Could there be a fourth realm, a place consisting entirely of identical men named Martha? I've heard of "A Boy Named Sue", but not three men named Martha. What do they want? Why are they in our capital cities? I for one would like to know.
A: We are big fans of diversity here in Camelot, and I went to college in the American South and therefore with a large number of women named Charlie and Bobbie and Georgie, but an invasion of bearded Marthas?
No, tragically. Says the Bearded Content Man, )The Marthas are involved in the 'Bed Bugs' quest given out elsewhere in each capitol city. That quest is one of several introduced in the capitol cities around patch 1.80 and are available for characters level 30-50.
(As for the men named 'Martha', it's not a conspiracy, just a fantastic coincidence of happenstance. It's probably not wise to tease them about their name either as they can get quite annoyed about the fact most people consider Martha a woman's name.
(If you want to see what part the Marthas play in the grand scheme of things, you can try the quest yourself by talking to Jarnath in Tir na Nog, Marnath in Jordheim, or Jarnam in Camelot.)
