Contract: Assassination Attempt & Guild Investigation
Involved Parties: Sa’Ragna (mutated cat), Olivia (Norlander), Amon Vourkehardt (target)

The Incident

The contract began with Sa’Ragna, a mutated feline figure, approaching Amon Vourkehardt, a young scholar, within the confines of a library. Sa’Ragna extended an invitation to join an organisation ostensibly advocating for the rights of Grendels and Kha people. Their rhetoric focused on defending the oppressed, yet Amon sensed deeper motives and declined.

This refusal set into motion a grim sequence of events. Sa’Ragna led Amon to a secluded riverside under the guise of further discussion. The young man was branded a “loose end” for knowing too much. Attempting escape, Amon was wounded by a thrown blade from Sa’Ragna. Despite the attack, Amon survived, though grievously injured.

Olivia’s Role

Olivia, a Norlander associated with the group, hesitated in her allegiance. Initially, she intervened during Sa’Ragna’s attack on Amon, indicating doubt rather than loyalty. Later, however, she followed Sa’Ragna to Garenbridg, where the group sought to exploit Amon’s family as leverage. Pressured to kidnap Amon’s kin, Olivia resisted and fled, pursued by the Kha’s agents.

In an act of contrition, Olivia surrendered herself to the House of Vourkehardt, revealing some information concerning the organisation’s operations and implicating Sa’Ragna. Given her coerced involvement, her punishment was lenient: tending the ashes of a pyre.

The Organisation

The group, described as a collective of alchemists and medics, has eight members. Sa’Ragna’s leadership displayed ruthlessness, yet his actions diverged from the group's professed ethos, as revealed in a written plea to Amon. In his letter, he expressed a willingness to sacrifice his life to protect the organisation, a stark contrast to his earlier violence.

Investigation Progress

Returning to Sólgaard, I conferred with trusted allies—Gudbrand, Sucelia, Bjorn, and Birkir.

• Gudbrand recalled a past encounter with Sa’Ragna at the forge, during which the feline questioned him about discrimination.
• Furthermore, the support provided insight into mutated cats, noting that some had been housed in the Vale. 

Therefore, I informed them of my leave and set off to the Vale.

In the Vale, a gathering near a duel provided further clues. A figure named Theodred, claiming to be an associate of Sa’Ragna, attempted to intimidate me, though his threats proved futile due to the appearance of the Solvikingrs, who were trying to find out why I was gone for so long.

The Final Encounter

Months later, the investigation led me back to Númendil, where fate intervened. With the aid of Ljúfvina, the Norn Dýravörðr, and Ser Vandrake Vourkehardt, Sa’Ragna was captured and taken to Sólgaard for questioning. His interrogation yielded little actionable intelligence, suggesting a need to trace his broader network across Aevos.

Soon after, a connected guild associate resurfaced at Númendil’s gates, now a marked Grendel. Their fate was sealed by the Knights Ser Baralin and Warrior Enrique, though her quiver bore a Norlandic insignia—a clue pointing me back to my roots.

Next Steps

The path leads home to delve deeper into the Norlandic connection and uncover the guild’s remaining secrets. Sa’Ragna’s network stretches wider than expected, and dismantling it will require unearthing each strand.

As always, vigilance remains paramount. Shadows linger where truth hides, and this contract is far from over.
