Sacred Knight File: Mysterious Battle Sites

This file is a compilation of information related to the battlegrounds discovered in Ovda and Ostia.Site 1: Located in the northwest of Ovda, in a forest near a roadside inn. Much of the forest appears to have been cleared in the battle. Signs of a fire-based Soul Blade being used have been discovered. One of the combatants appears to have been Captain Kadel Highmoor, whose corpse was discovered by his squad on the scene. Other combatant(s) remain unknown. Captain Highmoor’s squad has a prime suspect, but has been unable to supply a consistent description. This is attributed to the stress of their loss, as most of the squad is young and inexperienced. All that can be concluded is that the suspect is a woman resembling a reltus and a powerful motomancer.Site 2: Near a road in central Ostia. A caravan appears to have been destroyed by an unknown attacker, most likely a high-rank demon. Signs of fire and water-based Blades in use. Reason to suspect a battle occurred after the caravan’s destruction, but evidence is inconclusive at this time.Site 3: Located in central Ostia, in the middle of a deforested plain. Two battles appear to have taken place in a makeshift fortress and on the road to the south. These incidents may be related to the reports of bandits which appear to have been resolved by a third party. Once again, signs of a fire-based Blade. Several corpses discovered, but identities unclear.Current Investigation State: Thirteenth Paladin Falin Rivelda has been ordered to investigate all sites while en route to his diplomatic mission. Given the length of time that has already passed, it is unlikely he will discover anything of value, but evidence suggests too powerful a threat to ignore.Summary: Inconclusive.
