20 Flamerule 1500 DR
Word of a murder within
The Royal Court has spread like wildfire through
Suzail.
The Royal High Scribe of
Cormyr, hight Aldegrand Tallfyre, was found murdered within his office yestereve by an underscribe.
Aldegrand's corpse was reportedly empty of blood, that blood having found its way out of his body and onto the papers on his desk, the ceiling over his head, and numerous of the books and scrolls adorning the shelves in his office.
Whispered rumor has pinned the blame on any of several adventuring companies resident in
Suzail that have darkshield reputations.
Among
Suzail’s “informed” court watchers there is tacit agreement that Aldegrand’s pompous nature finally goaded one or more of his rivals to put an end to him. That magic was used to slay the royal scribe is certain; there were no visible wounds on his corpse.
Talk of this mysterious murder in
The Royal Court has not drowned out talk of Ambaerostrus of Athkatla’s Holy Order of Truth.
The High Scrivener is said to have named two Holy Leaders to assist him in running the order. The first is Belertus Mhellovrar, a Glyphscribe formerly based in Zazesspur, in
Tethyr, and the second is a man still wanted by authorities in
Sembia: the traveling Glyphscribe Taumpras Irorlar.
