_________________________________________________________________________
On 24 Decembris, the Baron of Seahome generously invited crowds of
citizens to the city center, where he and the Grand Magnate hosted a Yule
party: the young baron must have dropped over a thousand silver on a
talented quartet of troubadours, the finest imported wines and liqueurs,
and food prepared by ranking chefs throughout the kingdom.
The event proved popular, with most of Lithmore's notables attending,
including her Majesty the Queen, who graced her people with a visit toward
the end of the night. Nothing uneventful happened, save for noblewomen
arguing over who might dance with the popular baron, and Count Jei ab Sevoi
asking the Queen herself for a two-step.
As the evening drew to a close, a black-cloaked mage appeared, announcing
that he was from the Red Hand. The witch perfidiously extinguished all
light in the room, announced that he had murdered another mage, and
terrorized everyone. The Count and a red-armored Inquisitor attempted to
block the eastern exit, but to no avail.
The man, who called himself Magis, escaped; and when the lights came on
soon after, the disaster of confused guests scrambling around revealed
itself: broken glasses, food crushed underfoot, and upended serving trays.
The most poignant line of the evening was perhaps aired by a young
baroness, who claimed during the fray, "I am too drunk for this."

A town crier passes by, calling, ""The Justiciar has been KIDNAPPED!" A
woman in a moon-covered cloak and black mask told me to say, "Attention
citizens and idiots of Lithmore! Your precious, tiny Justiciar is my
captive. Her life is in my shadowy tendrils. Search for her, pray -
irrelevant. The shadows will hide her for two weeks, waiting for 10, 000
silver deposited into the Red Glove Company's account in the bank
(OOC:Manus). If, by the end of two weeks, this is not accomplished, you
will find her body floating down the River Bren, battered, bruised and
beaten.

_________________________________________________________________________
Some few days after the announcement of Justiciar Veronica ab
Fairchild's disappearance at the hands of witches, town crier's have begun
making the announcement that the ransom of a hefty ten thousand silver sum
is to be paid. As it is told, though, Veronica herself must be alive to
claim the money at the bank. Have the Reeves and Knights given up looking,
or is this a ploy? None seem sure, but ten thousand silver seems a lot to
throw down for a Justiciar, most feel--especially one so recently
appointed.

Reeves report a body was found aflame in the Holy Order Offices in the
Town Hall soon after the mages' call to the River Square. Despite
disfigurement, the corpse bears resemblance to the Grand Inquisitor
Machivel Laenseiliv. The Reeves are asking for those in the Church Square
prior to the heretics' call to the River Square to come forward as
witnesses to any seen leaving the Town Hall at this time.

Shortly after reports of the Grand Inquisitor's body were heard, notes
spread like wildfire around town, marked with the Grand Inquisitor's seal
and simply stating, "Let this be a lesson to all as to what befalls he who
seeks to oppress the poor and the innocent. -Brotherhood of Common Goods".

_________________________________________________________________________
People are running throughout the city, some in panic, some in awe. On
the afternoon and evening of Maritus 6 in the 349th year, Lithmore was
buried in putrid black shadow for a full minute. This darkness was far
from natural, as no light could penetrate it. It felt dank and thick,
though nothing could be touched or grasped of the darkness. At it's end,
the sun set and a woman's scream could be heard echoing throughout the
city. What caused this madness?!
Rumors are burning through the city, because apparently a frantic scene was
found just before this covering darkness. In River Square there stood none
other than His Holiness, Jochen ab Blackwell, The Cardinal of Lithmore. He
was stripped of most of his garb, wearing only his white robes, bristling
it's own aura in the setting sunlight. Across from him people have
described a woman wearing the Justiciars Reeve Cloak but wearing a mask
decorated with moons. She looked as if the shadows themselves circled
around her. This could only be the infamous Zanthia Dashian. Knights,
Reeves, and Commoners alike tried to enter the square to save the Cardinal,
but they were prevented, a strange spheric haze prevented any from
entering.
It was a showdown. A duel. An end for one of them.
It is said they spoke for a while before the fighting broke loose. The
Cardinal burst forth and launched himself at her. She flew back, drawing
her dagger and the fight began. His Holiness struck at her with only his
bare fists, with a fury like no man hath seen from him before. Zanthia did
her best to avoid, including using a battered copy of the Erra Pater as a
makeshift shield, but was not fast enough to dodge his fists, kicks, and
trips. She would not go easy, so people describe. She constantly struck
out with her blade, tearing into The Cardinal's Robes and some claim his
flesh. Others claim he was never touched, the Lord would not let her touch
him. The fight carried on for some time until Zanthia finally began to
crumble under Jochen ab Blackwell's rage. Rumors suggest she even threw
down her blade and tried to surrender, but the Cardinal was in such a
berserker rage he could not tell. He threw himself atop of her and began
to savagely wail on her head with his fists.
The shadows instantly grew without warning, shadows creep up from every
crevice and shadow in Lithmore, reaching up into the skies like climbing
tendrils until they all meet in the center, drowning Lithmore in a dank
darkness that no light can brighten for a full minute. No one could see
what happened next. The scream was all that followed, a glass shattering
sound that made everyone flinch. Then the shadows began falling apart in
nothingness like grains of sand falling from the sky, returning the lights
and skies to normal once again.When the light returned all that could be
seen in the square was the Cardinal, his whites robes covered in blood,
standing over the body, glaring down at it. Her skull had been crushed and
plastered against the cold stone of River Square.

_________________________________________________________________________
A small crowd filled River Square on the evening of Maritus 16. A chill
wind, driven from the north, heralded the arrival of Lord Justiciar Rafael
Aria; surrounded by high ranking Reeves, he stood upon a platform and
delivered a steely proclamation:
"People of Lithmore, I bring before you today the man Firo Prochai, who
stands before the law guilty of the crime of murder, for his brutal slaying
of the former Grand Inquisitor Machivel Laenseiliv. For the crime of
providing leadership as Sapiente to the heinous rebel faction known as the
'Brotherhood of Common Goods, ' he is found guilty of sedition and treason.
For his role in aiding the heretical Rubeus Manus, practicioners of the
darkest arts, and his role in abetting the murder of the Lady Justiciar
Veronica ab Fairchild, he is declared an enemy of the state and the people,
to be sentenced with extreme prejudice.
His sentence, to be drawn before you and quartered alive, is effective
immediately. Let the dark hearts who would bring injustice to the city of
Lithmore know their fate, and let the people know that the Reeves
Lithmorran stand resolute in their commitment to provide peace and
security. Know, even in these troubled times, that order will prevail."
It is said that the Lord Justiciar himself saw fit to participate in the
execution of the sentence. Those who have visited River Square since will
note the amalgam of rotting flesh and metal that constitute the charnal
remains and last artifact of Firo Prochai.

As of Aprilis 7, the year of our Lord 349, His Holiness Jochen ab
Blackwell disappeared into thin air, not to be seen in Lithmore since. A
message was sent to the city through the town criers: "Your Cardinal is in
my rather blood-stained hands, and about to add to them should my demands
not be complied with. The warrant on the Tenebrae shall be removed, and
30, 000 silver banked into the Brotherhood account. For every day that
this is not done, the Queen will receive a lovely, grisly present in her
mail, in loving remembrance of His Holiness.".
