Mission Briefing

📜 Mission Briefing

You have been selected for this mission because of your unique skills and your discretion. The murder of Darian Thrune is not merely a tragedy—it is a political earthquake that threatens to destabilize the already fragile balance of power in Cheliax. Your task is to investigate the crime, identify those responsible, and prevent further bloodshed.

Your Patron: The Unseen is a shadowy figure who operates from the Grand Bazaar. They have provided you with forged papers, a modest stipend, and access to a safe house in the city. They will contact you when necessary, but they will not be easily found. Trust the messages; trust the messenger only as far as you must.

👥 Key Persons of Interest

• Lady Vexilla Thrune: Darian's widow. A woman of ambition and political cunning. She is the most obvious suspect, but the truth is rarely that simple.
• Captain Aelar: The Hellknight captain in charge of security. He was present at the time of the murder and has since been subjected to scrutiny by his superiors. He may be a witness—or a scapegoat.
• Voren Kain: A shadow informant in the Grand Bazaar. He has a reputation for knowing things he should not. He is dangerous, desperate, and may be the key to unlocking the truth.

📍 Key Locations

• Palace of Thrune: Darian's private quarters. The scene of the crime. You will need to gain access and examine the evidence before it is tampered with or destroyed.
• Grand Bazaar: A sprawling market square where information is as valuable as currency. This is where you will find Voren Kain—and where you will need to be careful not to be followed.
• The Shadow District: A dangerous area where informants lurk. The Unseen has contacts here, but the district is lawless and unpredictable. Enter with caution.
