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. Edric 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.

Edric wonders aloud to his sons around the fireplace, "Peculiar. It seems we 'pagan' people are not puposely invited to partake in this particular party to pacify the poor lizards. I expect this performance to pain me, done by those without even a pair of peanuts in their pants."

Implement post. Allow people to send messages from anywhere as with the current system, but people can only retrieve them by visiting a post office. Either by interacting with it or by being within a passive range. You put an npc alongside bank and auctionhouse, i get a notification saying i have post, i need to go to the post office to see what it is.

Edric reads the notice and grins, slapping his son Rune on the back. "Fisticuffs, lad! Come, lets head to the arena and train for that. Im a tad rusty."

If Daria was present when she said this, Edric would have happily informed her that a person cannot disown themselves.

Let it be known by my word as Chieftain of Clan Vildr that Daria, daughter of Agmaer and Tullia Vildr, is henceforth disowned and outcast from Clan Vildr. No longer may she use the name Vildr to identify or further herself or her goals, or draw upon the contacts and resources available to Clan Vildr. Despite the overwhelming evidence suggesting the guilt of Rosalind Kinslayer, namely her own admission to the crime, as well as the threats she made upon the life of my wife, Herilissa Vildr, Daria has announced she will protect the outlaw, among other things. Daria has shown that she knows far too much about the events that transpired between Rosalind and Tullia, by making mention of an axe - which was not present at the crime scene, and so only an accomplice to the crime could know it was used. As no witnesses have come forth with further evidence toward Tullia's death, Daria's actions can only be taken as an admission of guilt, as an accomplice of her twin. She is invited to present herself to authorities in Norland, at which time she may present any relevant evidence and be given trial by the High Keeper. This extends to her sister, who has made no attempt to correct what Daria claims is 'false evidence', in order to clear their names. Thus, Daria is charged with being accomplice to murder, in specific kinslaying, and the Red Faith crime of unholy action by allowing her sister to mistreat the corpse of her mother. Further she is charged with harbouring and defending a known outlaw of Norland. For these crimes a warrant is now issued for the arrest of Daria, with a bounty to be given to any that return her to the custody of Clan Vildr. A hundred mina, in the form of five Norlandic Marks, will be granted to whomever does this, dependent on her being returned unharmed or with little injury. Fifty mina, in the form of two and a half marks, shall be granted if evidence of her death is obtained and provided to Clan Vildr. Signed, Edric Vildr Chieftain of Clan Vildr

Edric reads the response of his other niece, and shakes his head in confusion. "Didn't the kinslayer admit to the crime, to my own wife? Curious also that she mentions an axe...there was no sign of the weapon at the crime. I suppose it can only be assumed that Daria was complicit in this heinous act, given the amount of knowledge she has about it." He begins to write up a similar decree for Daria.

Let it be known by my word as Chieftain of Clan Vildr that Rosalind, daughter of Agmaer and Tullia Vildr, is henceforth disowned and outcast from Clan Vildr. No longer may she use the name Vildr to identify or further herself or her goals, or draw upon the contacts and resources available to Clan Vildr. Tullia Vildr has been found dead within the Vildr Clan House in Varhelm, her head almost hacked from her shoulders, and the house covered in blood. It has also been found that Rosalind has fled the scene, taking her belongings from the Clan House without any word. This is taken as an indication of guilt until such a time that otherwise can be established, as no witnesses have come forth with further evidence. Further events have transpired in which Rosalind threatened the life of my wife, in order to evade being questioned on what happened to Tullia. Thus, Rosalind is charged with the crime of murder, in specific kinslaying, and the Red Faith crime of unholy action by mistreating the corpse of her mother.

"Shun lust...?" Wonders Edric. "Their grandmaster is a world renowned lecher!"

If you make an effort to stop being anti norland, there are good lore writers in our community.

Edric chuckles, taking the money from Vane. "Never bet against a salty southerner, lad. Drinks are on me."
