Information on the prior murder and Joran Tailor
�� The crime occurred five years ago.
�� The body of Rialta, a lovely young courtesan from the Gilded Cage, was found in an
alley behind the shop of Joran Tailor. A pair of sewing shears were found plunged into
the chest of the victim. The shears belonged to Joran Tailor.
�� Joran Tailor was seen arguing with the victim outside his shop a few hours before she
was killed.
�� Joran claimed to be alone, working late in the shop, at approximately 3 bells before
midnight, when the attack occurred.
�� When the Diamond Legion arrived in response to reports of a woman screaming, they
found Joran Tailor in the alley, covered in blood, kneeling over Rialta’s body.
�� Confronted with the evidence against him, Joran Tailor confessed to the crime and, due to
his mental state, was sentenced to life in prison rather than execution.
�� Because Joran Tailor confessed, speak with dead was not cast on the body of the victim.
