GUARDSMEN CORPORAL MURDERED BY... GUARDSMEN?

A stunned audience sat in disbelief last night as trial defendant Lance Corporal Egrad Stormberg was dragged out, already deceased, before the awaiting court. Captain Bladius Dart presided over what followed, the trial turning on it's head as every man and women, civilian and guard, within the citadel walls was put to trial for his murder! This reporter sat dazed as the judgmental finger was pointed at even he!

It is believed that in the hours before his trial, Egrad Stormberg was executed at point blank range with several crossbow wounds. The Lance Corporal was standing trial amidst charges of treason and heavy rumours of heresy. The facts remain largely unknown to this civilian writer, as no evidence was presented before the court. None the less, Captain Dart was confident of Stormberg's guilt.

Rumours about the rebel community had long tied Egrad Stormberg with paramilitary movement the Free Yew Volunteers and their Commander, though no "spokesman" for the FYV was willing to offer comment on the trial. Nonetheless, no member of Yewtown's rebel quarter has ushered a word of claimed responsibility for the murder and cynics amidst the trial's audience were hasty to point the finger of blame at the disgraced Stormberg's own divisional master. Suggestions of a cover up were rife amidst the citadel and will likely not be dismissed should an investigation follow.

Amongst those others suspected were Waywatcher rookies Tyler James, Annwyn Lloyd Brown, Te'ani Lanoor and Timothy Young. Divisional mistress Floria Tenne was not available for comment though was clear in her concern as her force were implicated. Still, the arguments for the four were as fair as any other and eventually Captain Dart was forced to conclude that no verdict could be given.
