Things have been peaceful for some time at Bifyrd and Feron manors. The villagers have become used to their young lord, Lumin, over the past five years since his father’s unfortunate death. Lumin mostly keeps to himself, and lets the villagers handle their own problems. Everyone has pretty much accepted the appointment of Saran as well. When Lumin selected Saran, his close friend, to fill the role of Bailiff of Feron manor, quite a stir was caused by this breaking of tradition. Saran is the first Bailiff who is not a member of Clan Calayner. Nowadays, most of the discussions in the village focus on Lumin’s younger sister, Myrel. At 13 years of age, she is fast approaching maturity, and with this change, she is becoming more and more eccentric. She has always been a bit odd, but now things are getting much worse. Her speech is confused, and she wanders about aimlessly much of the time. Some have heard her complain about hearing voices in her head.
--- BIFYRD MANOR ---
It was just another dull spring morning, and many folk were preparing to begin their day, when the word spread like fire through the village. Myrel is missing! She was last seen the previous evening on the road to
the west of the village. No one really thought much about it, as she was often seen walking about. But she never returned to the manor house. Rumours have been flying about all morning. Perhaps she finally succumbed to her sickness and ran away. Or has she been abducted? But who would do such a thing? Have there been any demands for ransom?
The manor is an uproar all day. Lumin had left early that morning, before anyone knew about Myrel, to go hunting with Saren from Feron manor as he often does. And without the lord of the manor, no one is willing to make a decision. Mosa and few of the others do a search of the area around the manor. Lumin and Saren eventually return around noon. After taking to Mosa Lumin immediately sends out messages summoning a number of people to the manor. Meanwhile, the people scurry this way and that under orders from Lumin or sharing rumours and stories, or both.

OK, halfrogman, you're up. Feel free to push a few pieces around the board to suit yourself.
