Rumors begin circulating through the Commonwealth of Cordor and beyond that the Minister of Law, Hector L. Carton, perished of natural causes in his home overnight.

Minister of Welfare and Public Health, Johnathin Leohnard, reportedly held vigil with the man until the end. Funerary services are planned, as well as a procession through the Legal District, where Hector L. Carton served Cordor as Chief Justice for thirty-five years before being elevated to head up the Ministry of Law.

No official statement from the Commonwealth Council comes yet. But many of the citizens mourn a public figure who was much loved. Unless they were criminals.

To those who visit the prisons often enough, there is a lot of chatter, glorifying the fact that the old son of a bitch finally kicked the bucket.

In Wharftown, a bronze armored woman sits on a bench overlooking what once was the gulf of Lumorier. She spends most of her time sharpening her axe, checking over a cannon-like weapon, and tossing around a few throwing knives. Sometimes she can be seen speaking quietly with few passing travelers, but for the most part, she does not leave the town.

"One last time" She said to herself.

As word of Hector's death finally reaches Darthion, his reply is simple and concise:

"Good"

Hearing word of this as whispers of the news spread to Wharftown, Yurioji seems quite unhappy about the judge's passing. "Even though I knew this was coming, it's still hard to hear. However, being so rash could very well mean your death, Reyes."

Sazer can be seen tossing a few back and snickering with some shady locals in the Long and Short.

Weston is not phased by the news as it reaches him. But yet it weighs on his mind and he goes before the idol of Salandra.

"I need not know who the man was. Knowing how he passed, I pray for him."

Alanna sits with her head between her knees at the side of the canal, several of the small memorial boats gathered near her feet like kittens, their lights flickering off the woman's grave, tired face in the dim Corordian twilight.

"The hairs on my neck are standing up... the air smells like it does right before a thunderstorm... and when it comes, the one that tore up the outskirts'll seem like a spring drizzle..."

With a sigh, she rises, looking somberly across the square to the Council building, behind which yet another stormcloud looms.

As soon as Karl hears news of Hector's demise a letter is sent promptly to the Commonwealth building.

Defenders of Prosperity, Caretakers of the Commonwealth

I fear rumours of the passing of venerated Hector L. Carton has already reached my ears. I wish to express my most sincere condolences to the Carton family and the Commonwealth in general for loosing such a staunt defender Commonwealth values.

May the gods themselves welcome such a honourable man in their halls with all fitting for such a man of station.

Long Live the Commonwealth!

Karleron Undt
