[Royal Guard] "Unto Vorfon Marcion ul-Fenduth ul-Arduin Tagran Aldenbar, Lord Chancellor..."

UNTO VORFON MARCION UL-FENDUTH UL-ARDUIN TAGRAN ALDENBAR, LORD CHANCELLOR:

Greetings,

Three nights prior to this day, [date given] Professor Caius Stygian brought
Magistrate Zybella T`Laranor to the Temple of Menxvan stating there was a
strong possibility she had become host to a hostile entity. Having come with
the Professor of her own free will, she appeared to be calm and cooperative
when asked to surrender all weapons. After escorting her to a room where she
was locked inside with both key and wards, two Templar Guards were stationed
outside for her own protection; and allowed me the opportunity to be fully
briefed by Vorfon Stygian. As he has already sent you a detailed report of
what transpired between himself and the young woman, I won't burden you with
the same information, but include only what occurred after the Professor
left the Temple.

After performing a thorough physical examination of Magistrate T`Laranor,
during which she continued to be fully cooperative, I found no visual traces
of unusual aspects to her body. On the outside chance any of her clothes or
the armor she wore were affected in some negative manner, they were removed
from the room and she was clothed in one of the robes used for our
Initiates. Those items have been placed in a safe area after rigorous
testing was performed and appear to be free from any taint. Remaining very
calm, though speaking only when asked a direct question, I performed Second
Sight upon her; with her full permission. Though I wasn't able to pick up
anything directly in relation to what the Professor told me about the
entity, there was more than a little doubt in my mind in regards to her
being compromised. A sedative was administered to her and here was the first
time she protested, but to my way of thinking the Magistrate had experienced
a very traumatic event; and also this might in some small way control a
surfacing of the entity should she truly be infested during the evening
hours.

On the following day this was to be shown the case in an extreme manner.
Former Magistrate Ketara Lyon, a self professed friend of Magistrate
T`Laranor appeared at the Temple requesting she be allowed to visit. After a
long conversation with Tespin Lyon, I deemed it would not be detrimental to
Zybella and in fact might be helpful bringing in someone she was familiar
with. Leaving the Templar Guards in place after issuing Tespin Lyons into
the room, I gave instructions to be called when the woman was ready to
leave; or if any trouble arose. What happened after I left was related to me
by the Templars and Tespin Lyon, as I came only at the very end of the
incident.

When Tespin Lyon first entered, the Magistrate was indifferent, but after a
few moments became very solicitous. Upon asking about the condition of her
pregnancy, Ketara immediately called out for the Templars to fetch me.
Unfortunately that is not what occurred. Instead of coming for me, Templar
Marnuth ul-Donnovath Folvad and Templar Sivrian ul-Amurath Dabalbire made
the decision to remain; to watch and see how the entity was transferred from
one to another. The fates were with Tespin Lyon that day for having
forgotten to mention something to one of the Guards, I returned of my own
accord to see Magistrate T`Laranor in what appeared to be the process of
attempting to indeed infest Tespin Lyon. Quickly using a projectile dart
with a heavy dose of sedative on the tip, thank Menxvan she dropped
immediately. I fear this is full proof the unfortunate Zybella has in fact,
been compromised and is not capable of holding office at this time. On a
side note, the Guards were in no way acting on my orders and will be
severely punished, being demoted to a lower level and sent back to basic
training where they will learn to have better judgment.

The man purportedly responsible for this infestation, as well as perhaps to
a number of others, has been teleported to the Temple; it being deemed too
dangerous and unsafe to house him within the dwelling of Vorfon Stygian. He
is being held in a suspended state until a formal ritual can be performed in
which myself and a Guardian of Menxruk will extract this being from the
infected Allistan. We pray once the entity is banished back to its own realm
that all those infected will return to normal. Barring that, this same
ritual will be conducted upon Magistrate T` Laranor and she soon should be
able to continue on in a normal manner with her life.

Thank you for your attention and I look forward to meeting with you in
person to go into greater detail about this and other matters of import.

Me exenim,

Velantri ul-Kethlen Mintrat
Prelate of Honor for Southern Arangoth
