PAXLAIR - May 14, 1999 - Winfield

Tirian, the PaxLair Tour Guide and Golden Knight, reported to Mayor Winfield today that he was attacked yesterday by an assassin named Aeis Fen in PaxLair. Even though Tirian overpowered the assassin, Tirian fell to a lethal dose of poison. Aeis Fen appears to be a hired assassin yet may not hold any personal ill-will towards PaxLair or anyone in particular. His employers in this attack were called "The Dark" which may or may not be short for the Dark Omen.

The Mayor was deeply disturbed by Tirian's report and vowed to alert the townsfolk to keep an eye out for assassins hired by "The Dark". Tirian stated quietly, while looking around to see if anyone was listening, that he recalled something of a threatening book in the town's Sanctuary from "The Dark". Little more is known about this threat. The people of the lands must learn more of "The Dark" before they hire another assassin and strike again.
