Episode: Shattered Peace
Posted by Story on 03/02/23
It's not at all uncommon for Sunaia to take off with little warning, spending days, even weeks impulsively wandering the wild lands; though, certainly, it's been much less frequent since she married into Malespero. Because of this, it's only the lack of *any* warning that seems a little bit unusual this time.
At first.
The guards stationed at Arx's Seawatch gate remember her heading out. She seemed lighthearted, packed for a journey. She even waved to them before disappearing up the road. Nothing about it was particularly strange. She just simply never came back. There's no trace of her passage. No tracks. No witnesses. No body. No sign of any sort of disturbance. It's only several weeks later that a single vague report filters down from a village near Stonedeep that a woman matching Sunaia's description passed through, stopping only to resupply. She told the merchant that she was heading further north, and then left humming an unfamiliar tune.
She's not seen again.
