Pash Cobble Posthumanously Cleared

Though but a mere footnote in the daily ambiance and chatter of the Empire of Fastheld, it would seem that the Imperial Tribunal has posthumanously cleared a Freelander by the name of Pash Cobble of being Shadow Touched.

The Freelander claimed to have been Shadow Touched several years ago, apparently in an attempt to deflect attention away from another Freelander. According to those who know of the event, the Church of True Light swiftly pounced on the cobbler, and he was executed before the former Emperor's Blades were ever given a chance to investigate.

It would seem that the Tribunal has, for whatever reason, conducted that investigation in recent months, and found no proof that Master Cobble had ever shown any sign or manifestation of being Shadow Touched.

Though the Tribunal doesn't speculate as to what would cause the otherwise law-abiding and Light-following Freelander to commit "Suicide-by-Scourge", it does conclude that the Freelander may have only been guilty of attempting to mislead an investigation, and nothing more.
