You can find [object=385576] next to the portal to booty bay. One of the entries in particular stands out if you've played through Legion where we were introduced to Senegos.

For you, Runas. The journal entry for today is just--for you.
Thank you.

Seems that even Senegos was moved by Runas' actions despite his history with the nightfallen.

Can confirm: Clicking that option didn't change my rep -- still maxed out! :) It just gives an in-game reason for you to be able to go to Booty Bay if you've made the Cartel angry, basically -- you get a buff while in the area.

Description

You will not believe who I read about today in the Booty Bay Journal. What is that look, {name}? I too enjoy light reading about world affairs. Booty Bay is fascinating! Regardless, I read about Zeros--he was once the captive of an evil mage who hated all blue dragons. He seems to have found his own way in the world since his rescue. A bit of advice for you, young one. Debt is a foolish thing to be in, especially in Booty Bay, and especially to the Baron. Let's retrieve him before the sharks do.
