Report from Lion’s Arch Patch Notes - Seeds of Truthiness http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Game_updates/2014-12-02 “The death of the Zephyrite Master of Peace and Caithe’s hasty exit with Glint’s egg have left more questions than answers. Why did Caithe take the egg? And, more importantly, how do you catch a thief?” The follow-up to this is To catch a Thief you must become a thief.” Which, thanks to Caithe’s skills I think is the number one reason why there are new Thieves EVERYWHERE. Rewards Continue collecting Carapace and Luminescent armor with the addition of heavy, medium, and light boots and leg armor. Earn pieces of Carapace leg armor by completing the Seeds of Truth storyline. Extra pieces can also be purchased for bandit crests. Carapace boots can be found in Lost Bandit Chests.
