Scourge Dead in Ambush

FASTHELD - Laeria Mikin was ambushed by a Shadow-Touched mage while boarding a carriage in the River District, near Hawk's Aerie. The mage, a hooded figure believed to be a male of average height with curly brown hair, assailed the Shadowscourge from the Church of True Light - an experienced Shadow hunter - with tendrils of blue energy. Unprepared for the assault, Laeria Mikin died. The mage escaped. Bandus Flint, a priest from the Church's Stanchion who currently leads the Lightbringing in Fastheld, said the Church will offer a reward for the criminal's capture.
