Prince Corwyn Killed

Crown Prince Corwyn of Dakar was killed today when his entourage was attacked by orcish raiders. He was returning from several successful gatherings in Krandryia and was on the Kings Road just a few days east of Celinus when he was attacked. The only survivors were two ladies-in-waiting, who will probably never speak again after the horror they were subjected to, and a single guard that was ordered to the nearest castle for help.

The help arrived, but by then it was far too late to save the Crown Prince. His body was preserved by the Temple of Light and it took the procession fifteen days to reach the capitol, such was the crowd that followed behind to mourn his passing.

Already the drums of war are beating in the commoners of Celinus and the manor houses of the knights. They seek retribution against those that so cowardly attacked the procession and killed their prince. A few advisers are cautioning against getting the knights bogged down in a deadly game of mountain fighting against the orcs, but their words are being drowned out in the call for orcish blood.
