    The Slaying of Master Veinoren Zaregorn.
    Criminal Activity

    Master Veinoren Zaregorn was slain in the town square of Dead Hare by an unknown assailant after a minor verbal altercation. It's suspected that Zaregorn may have been the cause of his own demise after ordering a mercenary group to apply pressure to a competing trading company known as the Capulet Caravan. It's currently unknown whether Zaregorn's attacker faced justice as few town records were kept during a competing town tragedy, the death of Mayor Heirengon's son, Kar.
