Wanted: The Slasher of Savoy

Artistic rendering.

Let this proclamation serve as the guiding words of Lord Marshal Joseph Brandt, as penned by the scribe Libris X. Nihilo, spoken in good spirit and under witness of his lordship the Prince Oliver Renault and the eyes of the most holy GOD. 

 

A well regulated militia, being essential to the security of our state,

the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. 

 

It is under our dour watch that we make admission to an ill omen infesting this cradle of man, The Princedom of Savoy, for though we strive in regularity to cleanse our holy city of the artifice of the heathen, the heretic, and the profligate; it is within the nature of man to be fallible before GOD, and impossible for GOD’s servants to be in every place at once.

 

On this, the 1839th Saint’s year, we issue a proclamation of wantedness for one such agent of devilry within this blessed city; desired dead or delivered to the ESHEVEURD BRIGADE alive for the crimes of assault, assault upon an officer of the law, assault upon a knight, attempted murder, cannibalism, witchcraft, and devilry. 

 

Dubbed the SLASHER OF SAVOY for its twisted appearance: it is beast in the shape of mankind, last seen adorned in a black hood and cloak to hide its ghoulish appearance. A corrupt reflection of humanity, its appearance is twisted with claws, long jagged teeth, wrinkled gray skin, and pointed ears like an Elf’s. Witnesses report that it carries upon it the sickly odor of onion and ash, and it is said that the creature burns in sunlight, is averse to water, and can take on the appearance of a beautiful woman. It is vulnerable to fire, symbols that are holy, and water blessed by a priest.

 

Citizens, sellswords, and hunters of monsters are encouraged to redouble their prayers for the safety and sanctity of Savoy that we might have GOD's blessing in the beast's apprehension, and to report any suspicious behavior to the ESHEVEURD BRIGADE, which is offering a bounty of one hundred mina to any folk hero who would bring the beast’s body or head to the Esheveurd Bastille that it might be burned and the ground beneath the pyre consecrated.

 

Praise GOD. 

 

Signed,

Lord Marshal Joseph Brandt

Scriptor Libris X. Nihilo
