Feral Ghost Kills Again

Details on the Scarlet Bride and her latest victims. Gruesome!
Where are the Wardens?

The Feral Ghost known as
the Scarlet Bride kills at will
in the back-alleys while those
the Immortal Emperors’ sent
to protect us are holed up in
their Ivory Manor, denying
the spectre’s very existence.
On the 17th of Elisar, Quess
Sevoy never made it home
from the Leaky Buket after
asking Crowl Templeton
for his hand in marriage. A
gondlier found her body, a shriveled husk, spring flowers in her hair and
under her fingernails. The Spirit Wardens quickly removed the body.
The same day Ring Daava was found headless, with flowers
stuffed into his neck-stump after the Daava and Slane families had
arranged his marriage to Mara Slane on the 45th of the same month.
Sources say that Whispers in the know claim it is a feral ghost called the
Scarlet Bride who is to blame. Spectrology evidence confirms as much!
The Scarlet Bride stalks the back-alleys of Duskwall during feast-
days with her maid-sisters in tow, murdering young men and
women on the precipice of getting married. Survivors say the
Scarlet Bride maid-sisters begin by throwing flower petals at their
victim’s feet and ambush them in the alleys as they run in terror.
The Warden-General declined to give an official word on the status of the
Spirit Warden’s hunt for this feral spectre but his office offered this statement:
“Your reporters need to seriously consider that the Scarlet Bride
could easily be a clever gang. This puff piece does nothing but cement
1 the reputation of Duskwall’s latest masked criminals.” (cont’d, p12)
