Subjects of Kormyre,
I write this letter to you from the Black Keep in Winterdark with unfortunate news. Recently there was an infiltration in the Keep where over some days, several things were noted stolen. A royal seal, parchment reserved for royal decrees, battle maps of the Demon Barrows, and one of my own trained ravens.
These objects were found in an inconspicuous room, at a writing desk, where a declaration was being forged. For matters of our Kingdom’s security, I will not share the information here, but will have the declaration present with me in the Keep to be studied for its forgery. And thus, where I write this letter to you. The Royal Guard are presently pursuing this investigation, and have detained several suspects within the keep’s cells, and I am requesting any of you who wish to, to aid the Guard in their pursuit, that we may weed out this criminal and put an end to this.
My guards will escort you about the Keep as you need for your investigations, and afford you time to interrogate the suspects as needed. It is my hope this comes to a close by the end of the Winterdark Ball to be held in the coming weeks.
By My Will,
Count Sebastian Everest
Count of Winterdark Warden of Kormyre
Thank you both Dame Angeliana, Magistrate for the update.
