Bastards of Breland Trial Moved to Wroat

Sharn Inquisitive, Aryth 4th, 998

The trial of the Brelish soldiers, nicknamed the “Bastards of Breland”, but otherwise known as a squadron of the Breland 2nd Infantry, is being moved from Sharn to Wroat, capitol of Breland, after several mysterious deaths of the ‘Bastards’.  This move is out of concern for the safety of the defendants.

The defendants are on trial for war crimes committed during the last years of The Last War.  Charges of killing of non-combatants, torture, rape, and grand theft have all held up during the initial grand jury investigation and have now been brought before the high court of Breland. 

Representatives of each country who have brought forth these claims are present at the trial.  This includes Aundair, Breland, New Cyre, and Karrnanth.  Also present are representatives of the twelve houses.

Captain Reynold Mur, recently of House Deneith, was responsible for the squadron of men known as the ‘Bastards of Breland’, as well as many hundreds of other men and women in service.

Lt. Osama Burns, also of House Deneith, was the field commander of the squadron during the war and is under particular scrutiny.

The members of the ‘Bastards’ in custody are:

• Sgt. Meeks.  Meeks is a landowner on the outskirts of Sharn.
• Pvt. Sneak.   Sneak is rumored to be connected to an unnamed syndicate in Sharn as an enforcer.
• Pvt. Wall. Wall is known to be employed by the businessman, Boss Hugo.

The members of the ‘Bastards’ who have been recently killed are:

• Sgt. Pike, Deceased. Sgt. Pike was pushed off the High Court Bridge during the early morning of Sypheros 24th.  When his body was later recovered it was found tangled in the suspension of a lower bridge with a noose around its neck.
• Pvt. Shield, Deceased.  Shield was found dead in his cell in the early morning of Sypheros 25th.  Shield was known to be employed by the businessman, Boss Hugo.
• Pvt. Dog, Deceased.  Dog was killed sometime during the transit on the Sharn-Wroat connection of the lightning rail on Arhth 1st.  Dog was the owner of the Lifted Leg bar located in the Sharn lower Cogs.

Their is one remaining member of the ‘Bastards’ that needs to be brought to trial.

• Pvt. Ghost.  Ghost is living up to his namesake as he has never been found to answer for his crimes.  A reward of $1000 gold for the capture, or information leading to the capture, of Pvt. Ghost still stands.
