Vindicator Dreyfus Assassinated!
Vindicator Helmar Dreyfus, Waterdeep’s highest-ranking official of the Order of the Gauntlet, was found dead yesterday morning in his Castle Ward home. The Vindicator’s body, reduced to a desiccated husk, was discovered by his personal attendants. Sources within the investigation claim that a cursed object had been smuggled into the residence, which drained the Vindicator’s life force in mere moments.
The City Watch has declined to provide further details, citing the ongoing investigation. However, individuals close to Dreyfus have stated that there was no sign of a break-in, leading to suspicions of a carefully orchestrated assassination. “Vindicator Dreyfus was a pillar of justice in this city,” said a fellow member of the Order. “We must find the culprit behind this heinous act.”
The news has rocked Waterdeep, with many questioning the safety of its leading officials, especially in light of recent unconfirmed reports of body snatching throughout the city. Waterdhavians are left wondering: if the Vindicator himself could be targeted, who among them is truly safe?
Open Lord Silverhand has yet to comment, but it is rumored that this attack has prompted urgent discussions about the security of the city’s highest-ranking officials and faction leaders.
