Crime Type: Serial Murder with Syndicate Ties
Location: Varies — Cargo decks, old crew quarters, turbine service shafts
Status: Major Case — Unsolved

Overview

Three bodies in two weeks. All with internal burns, eyes turned to ash, but no external wounds. Each was a known informant or black market contact. The killer leaves behind a sigil of char made with necrothermal magic—a fire-and-death fusion rarely seen on the Tavern.

Leads

He’s been chasing whispers of the Embercoil Syndicate, a criminal network that may have infiltrated the Tavern during its last landfall. The victims all had ties to trade corruption or illegal relic transport. Clubs found a scorched storage crate with banned arcana that never made it to inventory. He’s quietly calling in Doc.
