  Feral Ghost Kills Again
  Where are the Wardens?
  The Feral Ghost known as 
  the Scarlet Bride kills at will 
  in the back-alleys while those 
  the Immortal Emperors’ sent 
  to protect us are holed up in 
  their Ivory Manor, denying 
  the spectre’s very existence.
  On the 17th of Elisar, Quess 
  Sevoy never made it home 
  from the Leaky Buket after 
  asking 
  Crowl 
  Templeton 
  for his hand in marriage. A 
  gondlier found her body, a shriveled husk, spring flowers in her hair and 
  under her fingernails. The Spirit Wardens quickly removed the body.
  The same day Ring Daava was found headless, with flowers 
  stuffed into his neck-stump after the Daava and Slane families had 
  arranged his marriage to Mara Slane on the 45th of the same month.
  Sources say that Whispers in the know claim it is a feral ghost called the 
  Scarlet Bride who is to blame. Spectrology evidence confirms as much!
  The Scarlet Bride stalks the back-alleys of Duskwall during feast-
  days with her maid-sisters in tow, murdering young men and 
  women on the precipice of getting married. Survivors say the 
  Scarlet Bride maid-sisters begin by throwing flower petals at their 
  victim’s feet and ambush them in the alleys as they run in terror.
  The Warden-General declined to give an official word on the status of the 
  Spirit Warden’s hunt for this feral spectre but his office offered this statement:
  “Your reporters need to seriously consider that the Scarlet Bride 
  could easily be a clever gang. This puff piece does nothing but cement 
  the reputation of Duskwall’s latest masked criminals.” (cont’d, p12)

  Details on the Scarlet Bride and her latest victims. Gruesome!

  SCARLET BRIDE
  EVENT:
  1 A pub owner has been finding flowers in his ale after hosting a wedding. He’s 
  looking for protection from the Scarlet Bride, who he’s sure is coming for his head.
  2 A gang of bravos are dressing like the Scarlet Bride and mugging folk in your 
  hunting grounds.
  3 Black market ghost hunting equipment is suddenly in high demand and there is a 
  shipment of going in to a railjack warehouse tomorrow night.
  4 Cults are looking for muscle as they go to war over incorporating the Scarlet Bride 
  into their cosmologies.
  5 A burglary contract is on the market, a job to steal books on feral ghosts from the 
  library of the Dimmer Sisters, located deep in their haunted manor stronghold.
  6 A gang leader just got married and a few of his enemies are putting out a contract to 
  kill them and pin it on the Scarlet Bride to avoid the Heat.
  1 Whispers are vying for position in hopes of binding the Scarlet Bride to their will.
  2 A cult has begun to desecrate local altars and churches, said to be followers of the 
  Scarlet Bride, trying to somehow turn her from feral ghost to demon-goddess.
  3 One overly ambitious Whisper is attempting to bind the Scarlet Bride by marrying 
  her in a public ceremony in Charterhall’s famous Jayan Park.
  4 Rogue Railjacks are hunting down the Bride for some side-cash while off work. 
  Officials are displeased about this moonlighting with railway company equipment.
  5 A pair of cults are attempting to drawn the Bride out by marrying their deities and 
  merging their cults. Rival cults are worried about this consolidation of power.
  6 The Church of Ecstasy is sending in a team of ecclesiastic scholars who believe that 
  the Bride is an example of an ascension gone wrong.
  1 A high society black mask possession party is going to try to put the Scarlet Bride 
  into an up-and-coming socialite.
  2 City Council is cracking down on illegal funeral practices. The new laws will likely

  him for the Scarlet Bride and some even gossip that she was killed at his wedding.
  4 A wealthy family is looking for a cult to safeguard their coming wedding festivities.
  5 The Red Lamp is dressing their sex workers in red, marketing them as Scarlet 
  Grooms and Brides. Whispers say this will bring dreadful consequences.

  illegal for their rank and file soldiers to marry.
