Excerpt from tonight's edition of the Seagate Times:

"Word has reached us that the body that was discovered early this morning in the woods south of the city has been identified as Sir Alfred Cole, former Master of the Adventurer's Guild, and celebrated war companion of His Grace, the Duke of Carzala.

The Duke has assigned members of his own personal guard to assist the Town Guard with the investigation.

We will continue to bring you news on this shocking attack on an honored citizen right outside of our city gates."
