The Possessive Benefactor

The Possessive Benefactor

The mysteries around the controversial House of Yore have recently began to unravel, as it turns out they are, in fact, serving a mysterious dwarven man known only as the 'Benefactor'. This was revealed to the public as the Benefactor and his personal henchmen, two elves of Yore, made a threat on the lives of one Likia Moonwhisper and her friend, Ragnara Thynderssen (who is a known follower of the trendsetter-minister Charlotte 'Charlie' Blazesong) at the Blue Recluse.

These Yorian henchmen, known by the public as 'Yonchmen', presented the two women with an ultimatum — which, unfortunately for the Benefactor, revealed his motives. The women were to break up with their dwarven lovers, the brothers known as Yriah and Yannim of the Ninth Company. Thus, it is evident that the Benefactor has set his mind on making Yriah and Yannim's lives miserable.

One of the Yonchmen, Estnalia (name changed from a guard's request), also treatened a demon hunter known as Sage. She was told that the Benefactor knows of her, and that it would be wise to stay out of this. No threats on her life were made, however.

After asking around for a bit, I found one more eyewitness — one six-year-old Susan who was buying ice cream outside the Recluse at the time of the incident. I explained the situation to Susan and asked her if she knew anything about this Benefactor.

"He looked a lot like Yriah and Yannim! I think he was their secret triplet who their mother didn't love as much as she loved them!"

Susan makes a compelling point, as always. Is it truly a brotherly feud we are dealing with, or is it a simple love pentagon?

Should you know anything more of this, report back to us — as well as Lieutentant Bauldur of the Ninth Company, who is leading the investigation!
