It is a quiet morning at the Legionnaire Branch Office within the Nobles District. During your morning duties, an officer enters through the open doors. He has a hawkish face, graying hair and an air of unmistakable authority. Constable Skylar Hillard approaches you without hesitation. You move to snap to attention, but he waves you down. “As you were.”
“I have an assignment for you. Please be seated.” Hillard waits for you to get comfortable before he continues. “A problem has arisen and your name has come up as a candidate who would be an ideal choice to help find Lord Consul Mour’s missing daughter. It was discovered that Lady Elaine Mour never returned home from her volunteer work helping the homeless from the District of the Poor. Then this morning, the Lord Consul received a ransom demand. I would like for you to proceed to the Mour Estate and assist with the investigation.
Hillard passes you a piece of parchment, written orders on your assignment. “It is my understanding that time is of the essence. You will receive your full briefing at the Mour Estate. Any questions you might have would best be asked after full disclosure.”
The constable pauses a moment and he looks at you in a very grave manner. “It is very important that you succeed in retrieving Lady Mour. The Guardians of the Star Sapphire used to police the Noble District. Now with them gone, the Nobles are leery of trusting the Legion for protection. This will be an opportunity to begin earning their respect. I am sure you are fully aware of the gravity of this situation.”
Hillard sees the acknowledgement in your eyes. He nods. “Good. Then you are dismissed.”
