AC 1005 – Mystery of the Dead Elf – The Concept

Set in Spring (Months 3 to 5) in AC 1004. I have moved the event to AC 1005 to make it part of Phase Two of the storyline.

Decades ago, an Alphatian elf named Troikithus, loyal to Empress Eriadna, travelled to Glantri as her spy. Pretending to be an elf from the Grand Duchy of Karameikos, he ingratiated himself with the elven Clan of Ellerovyn and established his identity as a vigorous, intelligent student of magic.

Recently, he uncovered evidence of a secret order of magicians studying a previously-unknown type of magic (the Radiance). He also heard rumours that there were followers of Entropy among the rulers of Glantri. He sent back a report to his Empress describing what little he knew and promising to find out more. A week later, Troikithus’s drowned body is found in a canal of Glantri City.

AC 1005 – Mystery of the Dead Elf – The Reveal

AC 1001 – The Empress assigns the spy to infiltrate the great school of magic in glantri, by obtaining clan records for the clan of elves who migrated from Alfheim and still have some records in that nation. The spy is able to recover enough records to create an identity of a clan member to assist in his entry into Glantri.

AC 1002 – The elven spy manages to gain admission into the clan of forest elves with the help of material obtained in Alfheim. Then using the clan’s assistance he starts to work on gaining patronage to study at the great school of magic.

AC 1003 – After becoming a valued member of the Elven clan, the spy manages to get accepted into the Great School of Magic to continue is investigations.

AC 1004 – An elven student is investigating the reports of Secret Crafts, Meetings and the national Religion of Glantri.

AC 1005 – A group of investigators operating under Rheddrian’s Investigation Bureau are dispatched to look into the issue as an independent party as arranged by the Headmaster from the School of Magic. They discover some books that a student should not have had access to and most likely lead to the murder of the elven student by one of the princes of glantri and were able to smuggle them out of the country.

AC 1005 – Mystery of the Dead Elf – The Outcome

The princes of Glantri do some research into the background of the popular murdered elf and discover that he was an Alphatian with an assumed identity – in short, a spy. Alphatia responds by denying that he was a spy, saying that he took the identity because of Glantri’s long standing disdain for Alphatians. Empress Eriadna protests his obvious murder, but with no evidence on either side neither Alphatia nor Glantri is willing to press the matter.
