Reign of Grimm Faustus

Political event

Grimm Faustus focused his efforts on the elimination of Black Market Necromancy and the Stitchers that profited from desecration of the dead. His zero tolerance policy on this diabolical trade led to an arrangement with the Cult of Whisper, allowing them safe passage in & out of Respite for the purposes of eliminating undead and destroying the hidden labs that raised them.   His death is still under investigation. Having fallen ill during an excursion into the Ulvenwald, Grimm insisted on continuing, believe the symptoms to be simply the result of exhaustion on the road or a lack of proper bedrest. When his symptoms worsened and he could no longer ignore them, the on-hand medic apparently diagnosed him with a rare blood disorder. Grimm ordered the caravan turn around at once to seek out proper medical assistance. En route to the clerics, Grimm's convoy was attacked by bandits, who discovered upon prying open the royal carriage that Grimm, considered a fearsome warrior in his own right, had already passed out from his illness.   The exact nature of the illness was not discovered, as the unconscious Grimm was repeatedly stabbed to death by the bandits, who then fled into the woods.
