The Council of Six confirms today the disappearance of Lord Aurelian Velmire, sole heir of the prestigious Velmire House. His absence was discovered last night, at the same time as the theft of an ancient artifact, carefully kept in the family’s private archives. This is a forbidden grimoire, an ancestral relic with contents deemed dangerous, strictly prohibited by decree for several generations. Its theft is not merely a break-in: it is an act of high treason, threatening the very stability of our city.
The Velmire House is devastated. In an official statement, Lady Velmire expressed both her distress and determination:
“My son has disappeared, and an object we have protected for centuries has been stolen. Whoever is behind this will be found and held accountable. No means will be spared.”
Initial evidence suggests a planned operation originating from the lower districts, linked to the recent unrest. Commissioner Varnholt stated:
“This is not merely a theft. It is an attempt to sabotage our social model. And it will not go unanswered.”
Immediate Security Measures
In response to this threat, the Council has already announced a series of exceptional measures:
- Closure of the Central Bridge until further notice. No passage between Braeville and the Grid without special authorization.
- Reinforced patrols in sensitive residential and industrial areas.
- Full inspections of public and private buildings, in coordination with the authorities of each House. Certain individual homes may be searched if a possible link to the events is established.
These measures are preventive and serve only to protect the population and maintain order. The Council therefore expects your full cooperation to return to a calmer situation as soon as possible.
Call for Vigilance
The Council urges any person who has seen Lord Aurelian Velmire, or who has information regarding the theft, to report immediately to the local authorities. Substantial rewards are being offered for any reliable information.
The Council of Six reminds everyone that the balance of our society relies on discipline, trust, and transparency. To challenge this balance is to betray every citizen.
Stay alert. Stay united. Stay loyal.
