The Fall of the Beaumont's

[Jtit 228]

The Fall of the Beaumont's, 1638

 

   During the darkest of nights, Astrid, Seff, Erwyn, Alisyanne, and Jethro all sound asleep in their bedrooms. A whiff of smoke drifts upstairs from the kitchen, but no one awakes.  The fire travels throughout the main floor of the house, then up the stairs.  Finally, Seff awakes, he rushes to get the children from their rooms. Astrid struggling to find an escape route before it's too late.  Within a matter of minutes, Castle de Beaumont is left as a pile of ash, taking the entire family with it.  

     A letter is sent out the families of the fallen from the fire. It reads: 

The keep where the Beaumont's reside has caught fire.  The cause of the fire is unknown. 

It gives us much dread to inform you, that there was no sign of life within the remains.  

We give you our condolences.

“T’is is why we smother our burrows o’er wi’ dir’” Madeline Applefoot the halfling would comment from all the way over in Mapleshire “Fire ‘as a ‘ard time burnin’ when i’ does nay ‘ave much room ter breathe”

Upon hearing the news, Otto retreats to his chamber. He lights a candle for his daughter and her family, before penning a letter to his steward, Ahryn.

"Go to what is left of Castle de Beaumont, and collect the remains of my daughter and her family. Astrid must finally come home." The paper is dotted with water marks; an indication of Otto's upset at the loss of his daughter and grandchildren.

Valkenier hears the news, and glances down at his shield. He'd frown, before setting off to kill more Santegians.

Aldrik would stare wide-eyed at the burnt skeleton of what once was the Beaumont manor, the note he received dangling loosely in at his side.

Joren Baruch would remain silent with his hands folded. "Long may you rest cousin..."

Ahryn would, upon receiving notice, immediately ride for the keep. He would toil for hours in the charred and marred rubble, before recovering what is unmistakably the blackened bones of the individuals that perished there. His ride back to Ayr would be somber, and he would arrive back at Saint's Rest to assist Otto in the burial of his family members.
