Newland taken over by a criminal group
June 17, 29483 - [Global]
IRRK - IRRK - Selcha Doree - Newland - Last week Newland was shaken by the news that a criminal group is now running the city.
The last week's Newland City Council meeting seemed to be just another regular one at first. The ministers appeared as usual. The fact that neither General Hekkat nor Mayor Toog were present did not alarm anyone since they are busy people after all and such absence would normally be easy to explain. Not this time, however.
The presence of two individuals were soon noticed: Iaskel Nendas and Turms Falon. Those two are not regular visitors to the council although Mr Nendas appeared at the meetings on several occasions.
The witnesses report that the ministers were informed by Mr Nendas that mayor Toog was seriously ill and General Hekkat was taking care of him. However funny the mental image of the general acting as a nurse may be, the matter did sound serious and disturbing considering who was the source of the news.
According to Investigator Tayris Duppine, Iaskel Nendas is a member of a criminal organisation known as Shadow Compendium which is responsible for numerous robberies and thefts around Rubi-Ka. All this made Mr Nendas' explanations of the mayor's absence highly su****ious.
After the council session, which of course did not go exactly as planned, Turms Falon lead a group of highly su****ious individuals on a patrol around the city. The militia guards are reported to not take any action against them, more, they seemed to be cooperating with the group.
What happened to General Hekkat and mayor Zephrem "Toog" King? Why didn't the Newland militia react? These are the questions that need answering. There is, however, a more pressing question: how do we get control of Newland city back from Shadow Compendium?
