A BROTHER’S DEATH
Issued by the Bailiff of Brandthof    
In the year of our lord 1899

SÖHNE UND TÖCHTER VON MINITZ,

 

Today, we find ourselves in the midst of a troubling situation. Lukas, presumed missing, was found outside of our own walls! Beheaded and left to rot. Without even letting his brothers weep for the death of their fellow Reinmaren, a NOTE was left with the body reading “The rest of Minitz is next”. 

 

The office of the Bailiff believes the killer to be Zenna “The Mad”, however this is merely a speculation. Given the circumstances the office has elected to dub them “THE MAD BUTCHER” 

 

Furthermore let it be known that thus declares the Herzog: Should anyone apprehend this killer, whether dead or alive, they shall be rewarded with 200 Minas for their efforts.

"A barbaric display! Her head will be next!" *Yvian bellowed, outraged at the loss of a brother of the warband, his weapons of war would growing ever sharper...*

Slith 'Azh Arm' brings the missive up towards his helmet, skimming it over.

 

"...Awwwhh... that Lukas was a rather kind young lad..." They thought in silence, shaking their helm side to side.

 

The marked helm tilted to the side upon reading the rest of the parchment, eyeing the words 'THE MAD BUTCHER' specifically. "...Curious," He spoke in their own head.

 

"...Seems like a baseless accusation... Are we really just blaming Zenna fer all of our problems now?" He pondered with a faint, dry chuckle at his own unspoken joke, folding the paper up and tucking it away in his pocket.

"I recall seeing her headless corpse in my feasthall?" Louis Joseph scratched his chin in thought, reflecting on the inquisition against her and getting her executed on the spot...

Hearing upon this news from Gregorius next door, Blume would recall the last time she'd seen the proper lad while she was in the clinic after her knee had been shot with an arrow. She remembered the last words she'd hear him say as he wasn't too happy at the time with the bell ringing outside for some form of defense....

Lukas would mention he was leaving; how Minitz had their morals disorganized, as well as the military supposedly grinding against his beliefs.

“I'm not to break my bond just will follow it elsewhere.”

 

Blume would begin to quietly cry for her departed friend in her newly reorganized room prior to the news, she couldn't see the excitement in decorating it any more at this time frmo the grief that welled up inside of her. He was one of the nice townspeople, & one of the closest neighbors at the same time! With the thought of an empty bed within the mini castle next door, she couldn't help but leave a flower beside the Roan fort in memory of Lukas.

When word reached the gate of the death of Lukas, its keeper could only lament his passing with song. He would recall the fond memories of the hopeful lad, his brother in arms, a young guardsman.
