    ON A MURDER MOST FOUL

     

    To His and Her Imperial Excellency, Jonah Stahl-Elendil and Celestine Herbert, as well as all those whom they might wish to see this letter,

     

    I hope this letter finds you excellent. The Office of the Maheral of Haelun’or (me, I am Maheral) wishes to express its full confidence in the justice system of the Holy Orenian Empire. We grieve our loss, but we look forward to the closure afforded through apprehension of the murderer. A joint festival in celebration of the capture may be in order, but I have staff to handle that. A gift basket may have to do in the interim -- please understand.

     

    Lots of love,

    Ikur Sullas, Maheral of Haelun’or
