[edit] The Daromir Dispatch
[edit] June 17, 1227
Recently the city has been a buzz with rumor and misinformation regarding the abductions from the Dregamoar District in Xalo. For some weeks now, people have been coming down with a confusing illness in Dregamoar, and then disappearing shortly after coming down with the second stage of the sickness. The disease was characterized by a shortness of breath, a darkening around the eyes, and an incredible thirst. The second stage of the sickness entailed the victim to fall unconscious, but to have terrible nightmares.
Taliesin Caradoc, the famed Detective of Brewer Street in Xalo, accepted the charge of Magiarch Abructis and began to conduct an investigation into the disappearances. Lacking broad medical knowledge, a dwarf surgeon named Granby Winsum was assigned to help Caradoc on the case. After several days of exhausting investigation, Caradoc and Winsum, along with a contingent of magical law enforcement, discovered Professor Moriarte, from the Magical Academy in Xalo, conducting hideous experiments in necromancy in a forgotten sub-basement of the Academy. A terrible battle ensued, which caused extensive damage to the sublevels of the Academy, but Moriarte was disabled and brought to justice. Granby Winsum is believed to have died in the attack, and will be buried with full heroes honors.
Much of what was believed to be known about Professor Moriarte is likely to be fiction, told to the administrators at the Magical Academy in order to ensure tenure at the college. His students often described him as aloof, difficult to please, and malevolent. He rarely held classes, preferring to focus on his own research into the art of necromancy.
Taliesin Caradoc believes that he has found some true information about the criminal mastermind, and was kind enough to share some of his findings with the Dispatch.
"Professor Moriarte's real name, which was unknown prior to my investigation, is Peter Irons. He is the son of a deep dwarf and a drow, and he was abandoned in the city of Cauldron at a very young age. He was raised at an orphanage on Lantern Street in Cauldron. After the reaching the age of fifteen, he left the orphanage with a wizard who had promised to teach the boy the ways of the wizard. From here, the trail is lost for several years until his master was found dead, reanimated, and then killed again. There is more, but unfortunately I am unable to divulge any further misdoings of this individual until after he is brought to justice."
