Saringallow: The first records about settlers moving into this area date back to 4425 ar. However, all the documents from that time refer to the community as “Sarini’s Hollow.” Each of the researchers notices that somewhere between 4600 ar and 4610 ar, the town’s name seems to have changed to Sarini Gallows, and gradually, that name was corrupted into Saringallow.
ReplyDeleteSarini Estate: An invoice for construction materials reveals that the construction of the main estate building began in 4426 ar, and a later bill indicates that a wall was built around the grounds in 4600 ar. Barnacleez noticed that the text has been tampered with to obscure some details.
ReplyDeleteAnother individual document indicates that the last legal owners of the Sarini Estate were the Baron Marcius Sarini and Baroness Sadira Sarini, who acquired joint ownership of the property in 4593 ar.
Sarinis’ Diabolism: There are no documents that even mention the word diabolism or any other outward indicators of the subject; however, Lupia is a skilled archivist and has dug up some letters from Marcius Sarini to an unnamed priest of Asmodeus in Egorian. The letters contain vague and cryptic language, but they do mention the existence of gifts for a nebulous patron, and that these gifts were carefully recorded somewhere in a secure location on the estate known only to Marcius and Sadira. Barnacleez and Lady Emyralda arrive at the conclusion that this is a reference to diabolic sacrifices and the records the mayor seeks.
ReplyDeleteHangings: No official records of the Sarini hangings exist in the library. Ro-Mahn knows that Chelish laws would have required a considerable amount of paperwork if trials had been held. There are, however, allusions to the town abruptly coming under control of the mayor, rather than nobles.
ReplyDeleteMissing Persons: Between the years 4600–4604 ar, many missing persons were reported. Each of the researchers notices that the average age of the missing persons was 12–20, and many of them were female.
ReplyDeleteReports written by a watch captain of the time indicate that the bodies of a few missing people were found. Barnacleez and Lady Emyralda notice details in the reports that suggest the persons were killed in witch or diabolist rituals. Lady Emyralda concludes further that in all cases, from the death descriptions listed, the cause of death was complete exsanguination as opposed to simple blood loss.

Marcius Sarini: A deployment letter dated 4585 ar indicates that Marcius Sarini volunteered to serve in the Chelish army and trained to lead a special engineering unit. Ro-Mahn deduces that his training involved building traps and sabotage, among other things.
ReplyDeleteA letter from a servant dated after Marcius’s return also indicates that the rising baron brought a young ward by the name of Luca back to his family’s estate in Saringallow. Ro-Mahn notices that the word “ward” is written messily, with no further accompanying explanation, as if the writer were uncomfortable lingering on the topic for long.
Sadira Sarini: Documents indicate that the baroness was originally from Remesiana in Cheliax

ReplyDeleteLuca Sarini: A death certificate says the following: “Adolescent ward of half-Mwangi descent. Died of an accidental poisoning at the Sarini Estate in 4599 ar.” Ro-Mahn realizes that the handwriting of the word “accidental” shows hesitation, as if writer didn’t believe that the poisoning was accidental.
