Execution of a Kinslayer

Deep in the crypts of Norland, at the bottom of a nigh endless pit, lay the discarded ashes - justice served - of one Rosalind. Once of Clan Vildr, of late an Outlaw, disowned and disgraced for her part in the wicked murder of her own mother, and the unholy desecration of the remains. The swift burning of Rosalind's corpse in accordance with Norlandic tradition was far better than what she afforded her own mother, who was left to rot in her own bed, head almost - but not quite - severed. While the mortal remnants of Tullia Vildr, whose soul has joined the All Father in his Golden Halls, sit sanctified within the ancient crypts, no such honour is given to the kinslayer.

 

At the lip of the pit stands Edric, staring into the abyss. The shadows flickered in the cracks and crevices of the crypt, given form by the light of the torch he carried to guide his way into the unknown. Anger bubbled within Edric, that he did not witness the death of Rosalind, or preferably deal it to her himself, though it simmered in the knowledge that justice had been served for his sister in law. The silence of the crypt echoed about him for a time before he turned to leave, disrupted only by the guttering and roaring of the flame he held. Finally, hobnail boots clicked upon the stone floor as he walked out, heading toward the light of day.

 

Later in the square of Varhelm, Edric finishes scribbling the missive regarding his erstwhile niece, lifting his hammer to nail it into the notice board of Varhelm.

Rosalind Kinslayer has been caught, trialled, and punished. The bounty for her arrest no longer stands, and will not be fulfilled. Let it be known that the Kinslayer was executed through partial decapitation - a fair treatment in mirror with how she killed her own mother - followed by a peacemaking crossbow bolt through the brain. Her body has been burned, and her soul will be judged by the All Father as to whether she will have the opportunity to redeem her crimes in the Eternal Conflict, or be cast out into the Void.

 Chief of Clan Vildr

 


 

Pleased with his work, Edric gives a short prayer in memory of Tullia, and turns away from the sign. His mind is occupied momentarily by thoughts of his other niece, who still evades justice. Next is Daria, he muses.

 

But now was a time for celebration and festivity, not mourning or hunting. He casts away the thoughts of Tullia and her children, and trots toward the crowd gathering in the square.

 

"Just in time for the Festival of Bjorn!" Observes Edric joyfully, handing a purse to King Vane, the bounty money promised for dealing with the stain upon his clan's honour and name.

Air comes across this on the notice board of Varhelm, carefully reading it over and walking away with a sigh "Just like that, it seems I'm down a slave" he whispers to himself
