A Hit in the City of Gardens
The rain fell in heavy droplets upon the dark figure as he trudged through the streets of Estaea. He'd just arrived in the port city before sunset, but now without the heat of the day, he started to feel the creeping cold of autumn soak into his drenched body. Winter was only a few weeks away, and he would have liked to have been settled someplace warmer, but for now, he would have to make due. A new shipment of Inquisitors had arrived earlier in the year, but the man known as "the Ghost" had been making his rounds in Oriscina during the winter months.

The Ghost was a terrible rumor. A boogeyman that made even the most powerful military officials quiver at the mere mention. Several years ago, one of the Kadmian troops set out from Crimmor had been hired out by the inquisitors. They headed into Aevallan territory, and were never heard from again. The Ghost, it is said, was responsible.

Now, the men who went in after him are being hunted. One after the other, slowly, with careful precision.

Peh, who needs ghost stories?
