The Beggar's Fall

[Yigit]

It was one violent night in the slum streets. The drunken night party of the Beggars seemed all nice and jolly, populated with the community of Emporium, it was truly a fun night, with everyone enjoying their time, drinking their sorrows away. Unfortunately, it all lasted short, however; as the Raven Cross previously called Creed Thumpers, headed by Edward Jarsdel, and Die Jagdhunde, headed by Corwynn Baigley, rallied a massive force and struck the event, storming the location and forcing everyone to either flee or get beaten to all levels brutality. People began to make a run for it, escaping the attackers while the forces of Jarsdel and Corwynn gave chase to their target; Beggar King.

After a massive gang war breaking out, the Beggar King Jochund Gottieu was brutally murdered by Edward Jarsdel.

No one except those who were there in person knew of this happening. The following day, as things began to return to normal, people who walked into the Emporium would find Jochund's rotting head planted upon a small table. The head still seemed to be smiling.

There was one note attached to it.

"Telikos Beggars are sleeping with the fishes"​

After the Trial in the Rat Court, and Jochund's execution, a crowd from the Night of Revelry formed outside the Court, throwing molotovs and obscura, with everything erupting in a riot, and flames. After half an hour of skirmishing, the Ravens and Die Jagdhunde were able to flee the scene, Jochund's corpse having been cremated in the fires, barring the grinning, severed head.​
