Being a noble in Regalia isn't only fun and drinks and running around calling commoners plebs. Nobles often organise parties to entertain each other and their enemies. Today one such party was held at the recently constructed Ballroom in the noble district, largely funded by the Anahera family.
Guards lined the outside entrance to ensure no false nobles would enter, and the party soon went underway. The party was not for dancing and music however, as soon politics became the topic of the talks.
Celine Anahera, a political ally of Alex Kade started by attempting to woo Alex Kade to support a motion led by Grailen Medavinci to function as dowry for her granddaughter, engaged to Grailen. Alex Kade agreed to support the motion for the establishment of the Iron Crucible, the follow-up of the Crimsons with expanded power. In exchange, Alex Kade managed to get Grailen to concede on allowing Orcs to be ranked as second class citizens as long as they performed service to the state in the various military orders of the city, such as the guards, instead of third class citizens.
Various other backroom talks were done between the nobles, plotting against one another, planning backstabbings and assasination attempts on people in the very same room, albeit outside hearing distance.
Suddenly, as the party was slowly coming to a close, Poside, member of the Anahera dynasty suddenly started suffocating in a reaction to poisoned wine. As the guests at the party started shouting and causing chaos, Alex Kade yelled for his fiancee, Faewyn L'thandruil to quickly mend Posidem as she is a healer. As Alex, Malikar and Faewyn tended to Posidem to ensure his survival, the other guests started accusing each other of the attempts to poison the other guests.
Grailen Medavinci accused the Beauverets of the assasination attempt of an Anahera due to the recent insults the Anahera's had made to the Beauveret's during their tea party. The Beauverets in turn claimed innocense, claiming in turn the Medavinci's were responsible as Grailen was seen slapping a bottle of wine out of Alex's hands earlier when he tried to drink it. Similarly, other guests noted how Celine Anahera conveniently slipped away from the party. Other noted families who were completely absent were the Fongs, Lefort's, La Rue's and Lovegoods, as well as the Van Sherburne's.
Seeing as the wine which was used to poison Posidem Anahera was a Beauveret wine, the guards led by Joshua Kade proceeded by protocol and arrested the Beauveret family and their servants. Alex Kade ushered the Beauveret's to cooperate as he and Adrian Pavleon retreated to the Academy's chemistry rooms to analyze the wine. It was found that the wine bottle itself was not a usual noble bottle served at parties, but instead a common brand of Beauveret wine available in common markets. The wine bottle was also several weeks old. Adrian Pavleon, professor of Biology ascertained that the poison used was the spores of undercity mushrooms, very toxic sprores that eat away the stomach when ingested. He stated that the spores would have dissolved in the alcohol if they were added durig the bottling stage, thus deducing that the bottles were tampered with after their corking.
Alex Kade presented the findings at the prison and asked for the immediate release of the Beauveret's due to lack of evidence declaring an actual culprit. Additionally, the Tigran serving the drinks made a testimony claiming the Medavinci's gave him the bottles to serve, though his testimony was deemed not credible due to the fact that he was a Tigran and not a citizen of the state.
With all these potential theories, who do you think is the culprit?
