[A] The Wisp Murders

The bizarre murder in the Dwarven District has sparked a full investigation into several strange sightings in the past month that would have otherwise been dismissed by the Guard.
The home of Tianna Stevens, known trainer of apprentice Warlocks - known to the people of Elwynn as the "Witch of the Woods", was reported to have been emitting a foul smelling black smoke from the chimney. Though suspicious, odd sights and smells at the house were considered to be common - though an intrepid young guardsman thought it bore further investigation due to the discovery last night.

Upon closer investigation of the house, the door was shattered into splinters - outwards onto the grass, and a strange blue pennant with a single eye was pinned above the window. The wooden floor inside the house was saturated with blood, and the body of Tianna Stevens was reportedly retrieved from the fireplace, which she had been unceremoniously stuffed into. Upon closer inspection of the charred body, a circular hole had been pierced through her sternum. Inspectors have found that the fire was deliberately stoked after she was placed onto it - suggesting that the scene was meant to be found, and that the pennant is either some form of warning or a symbol of an organisation. Magical experts that were allowed to see the body at the scene determined that faint traces of a spell around her mouth remain - some form of silencing magic, presumably to stop her from calling for help.

Tianna was a kind woman, a good teacher, and an invaluable scholar - cut down unfairly by prejudiced, cowardly thugs. She will be sorely missed.

The Guard are doing what they can to find out just who these vigilantes are. They cannot yet confirm that they target only Warlocks, though it seems likely. If you are a concerned practitioner of fel magic, please contact the Guard for information on how to secure your home, and so that they may direct more patrols through your area.
