Things have been going rather fast at times so I'm sure I'll miss some things, but I'll do my best to offer a brief synopsis for people who are interested in what's been going on. There is a lot more detail, but I don't want to go on for too long.
On Monday night, a caravan of erithi stopped in Ta'Illistim on their way from the erithi homeland to an enclave of other erithi somewhere in Elanthia. A girl of the Eloth Dai was traveling to meet the Nathala man whom she was to marry.
Torrential rains caused one of the carriages to be caught in the mud and to break. While work got underway on repairing the carriage, a couple of bodyguards ventured out to look for a place for the Eloth bride to stay. Unsatisfied with any of the places proposed, the bodyguards returned to the carriages saying the bride would stay there as well. Members of the Sapphire Guard were contracted to guard the path to the carriages, preventing anyone from going who was not a member of the party.
Tuesday night the whole wedding party emerged to tour the city. The bride, Narue, wished to visit and have a look around. As the group wandered about, their various personalities manifested, some grating on one another.
Narue came to rest at the fountain in the northwest part of Briarstone Court. A pair of erithian artisans arrived to offer their services to the wedding party, but Narue said she had no need of it and they then offered their services to a few of the general populace. Once done, the group retired for the evening.
Wednesday night Narue's handmaiden Ravessa left the carriages, appearing quite shaken by something but not willing to discuss what had happened. She found her way to Briarstone Court where she was found by the bodyguards and escorted back to the group.
Thursday night Sapphire guard Iliase stopped by the path leading to the carriages while on her rounds. Soon after she left, the body of an erithi was discovered on the street just east of the smoke shop. Judging by her features and clothes, she was identified as Ravessa.
The Sapphire guard appeared soon after and took the body away for investigation. Iliase returned to the carriages and ordered the erithi out onto the street to inform them of what had happened. She also ordered that the erithi were not to leave the area. The erithi returned to their carriages, leaving the people gathered to ponder what had happened.
