News from Suzail
— LETTER FROM THE SEA OF FALLEN STARS
Tragedy struck Suzail and all of Cormyr this past Ches with the assassination of King Baerovus Obarskyr. Culprits yet unknown are believed to have entered the palace through arcane means under the mask of preparations for the annual Planting Festival.
The Royal Mage Caladnei found the king’s personal guards slain outside his chambers and rushed to his aid, but was overwhelmed by the dark sorceress she encountered within. While she was restrained, the king was tragically killed. Obscured by unnatural shadows during the event, the sorceress could not be identified and investigations remain ongoing.
The motives for this terrible act remain debated. King Baerovus’s personal treasury was also found emptied of privately kept family relics as well.
It is yet unclear if the sorceress worked alone or had help from within the palace, but any information that leads to the capture of her or her associates will be rewarded by the Cormyr crown.
Princess Raedra remains the sole surviving member of the royal family and will be returning from her military campaign. She is to be crowned queen on the first of Tarsahk following nationwide mourning.
