Search for Missing Royal Aide Continues

Search for Missing Royal Aide Continues

SHARN -- On Sar, family members of royal aide Shauranna Rokesko expressed hope that she might still be
found, despite two days of fruitless searching throughout the breadth and height of Sharn.
"Shauranna must know that we're out there looking for her. If we have to search every room in every tower, we'll
find her and bring her home," said her father, Kal Rokesko.
This morning, City Watch commanders reported that they were doubling the number of searchers across the city
and assigning the case to inquisitives in every precinct. Commander Banath Hururik said anyone with
information about the Rokesko case should contact the nearest City Watch official immediately.
Rokesko, an aide to Royal Minister Yarik Freul, disappeared from her room at the Sovereign Towers Inn on Far
evening. Watch captains told the Sharn Inquisitive that the room showed fire damage and signs of a struggle,
although Watch commanders refuse to discuss the investigative details of the case.
Freul, a crown liaison to the Sovereign Host, came to Sharn with his staff for an annual meeting with Onatar
priests. He returned to Wroat on Sar to petition that the crown assign the case to the King's Citadel.
"I have every confidence in Sharn's City Watch," Freul said in a scribed statement on Sar. "But because I and my
staff deal with sensitive matters of state, it seems prudent to involve those with expertise in such matters.
Shauranna is no ordinary girl, and this is no ordinary disappearance."
The reward for Shauranna's safe return now stands at more than 1,000 gold coins. House Kundarak officials
responsible for administration of the fund said that concerned citizens are still donating, so the reward is likely to
grow.
