Daggers in the Dark
5 Dec - 17 Dec 2016
In the month of Flowers, 8290, Song-Lu was host to a hopeful gathering of leaders from all nations. The world watched as representatives from both Kingdom and Empire sat at the same table, and expectations were of lasting peace and trade. Everything fell apart when it became clear that Fabian Roenach, Crown Prince of the Empire, had been killed. Delegations scattered and fled, leaving the scene of the failed talks behind.
In the time that has passed since this tragic event, an elite team of Peacekeepers have been working hard at gathering evidence, interrogating witnesses and doing everything in their power to find the guilty party. On 4th Stars, 8292, during a Year of Souls which has been memorable in many a dreadful way, rumors begin to surface that the Peacekeepers' hunt is coming to a close; they are circling the murderer at last. But who is it? Virtually everyone who attended the talks are suspect!
A short series of articles published worldwide in a special edition of Alva Weekly make bold claims and point fingers in every direction, encouraging the citizens of every nation to speculate and make up their own minds about the truth. The Peacekeepers refuse to comment, but an anonymous source claims the newspaper has accurate information.
