Assassin Apprehended, then Escapes
|
The rogue assassin Jorel of Kent was captured in Bescanon two days ago during an attempted break-in at the tax offices. During his time in prison, Jorel of Kent admitted in letters to Arch Priestess Balkeese that he had come to Perdan to assassinate several nobles and collect their bounties. In payment for his crimes, Lady Balkeese sentenced Jorel of Kent to execution by hanging.
However, the execution was marred by the escape of Jorel of Kent. Through some as yet unknown method, Jorel of Kent managed to overcome a guard. The guard was disguised as Jorel, drugged, and switched out for Jorel. The deception was not uncovered until after the hapless guardsman was executed in Jorel's place. The city guard has been called out, and a city-wide search is in progress to capture Jorel. His location is unknown, and it is feared he may have escaped the city altogether.
In other news, the other rogue assassin plaguing Perdan, Yaki, was deported by Arch Priest Cartor of Caligus. Yaki attempted the assassination of at least one noble of Perdan, and was caught attempting to steal gold from the tax offices of Caligus.

Goodbye Lord Cesare!
|
Today all of Perdan is in mourning over the departure of our long-time Royal Treasurer, Cesare Salinado. Lord Cesare was the driving force behind feeding the commoners of Perdan despite a large shortage of Perdan's food supply. Lord Cesare was unavoidably called away on family business, leading to a sudden retirement from public service. In fact, Lord Cesare has disappeared altogether from Perdan. We hope that some day he may return.
After a long, and somewhat tumultuous, search, Queen Evangeline has announced the appointment of Lord Fire Fox Wylie as the new Royal Treasurer of Perdan. Lord Fire Fox was appointed immediately following the stepping down of Lord Cesare. Lord Fire Fox will have a difficult task in feeding the commoners of Perdan, but he is confident that he can meet the demands of his new office.
