Year 470 of the Emperor, Phoenix 00|10, Fifth Year

Citizens of Hermertia,

I regret to inform you that early this morning the Palace of Rua suffered an explosion that rocked the entire structure. The source of the explosion came from inside Lord Atryl Rua's bedroom. Both Lord Atryl and his mistress were killed in the blast. Very little is known about the source of the explosion, but every investigative team available is working on finding the answer. The incident is currently being treated as a homicide.

As there are no legitimate heirs to the Rua throne. Lady Aeries, Lord Atryl Rua's first sister, will be taking up the throne while the incident is sorted out.

We will reveal more information on the situation as it comes to light.

Regards,

The Desk of the House of Rua

Lady Aeries,
I am saddened to hear about the loss of your brother and I certainly hope you find the one that did it. Lord Atryl was a good man and his death will be felt across the empire.

sincerely,
Duchess Asredai

Awful news. I am doubling my guard until we find the perpetrator.

Our allies in the North are not forgotten, your Aethen cousins stand ready to fight.
