Panic in Silkfield

In the wake of the rumors about the attack on Kess Kahar of Silkfield, new reports are emerging that late this evening, Lord Kahar and his wife, the Sunkissed Lady Reina Seamel were murdered in their home. It is said that a small party went into the fortified home to try and assist the Lord and Lady against a mysterious Shadow Mage, but were unsuccessful in their attempts, with at least one of their numbers being reported as wounded.

Rumors circulate that Lady Seamel would have been able to survive with immediate treatment, but refused any on the account that the only healers available were Marked mages. Her hatred of all things of the Shadow is well-known amongst those who have had the opportunity to meet her. Citizens around Fastheld, especially those bearing the Sun's kiss, or are known for their devout belief in the Light are cautioned in traveling alone, in case this mage decides to strike again.

Duke Seamel, himself a Marked Mage, has not yet spoken on this recent turn of events, and the murder of his kinswoman.
