The provided text details a "shocking assault" on Lady Winter Sage Ultsch in Port Kar. Lady Winter, a prominent member of the Blue Caste known for her outspoken nature, was found severely beaten, choked, and nearly drowned in the city's infirmary after being presumed in a coma. She recalled fragmented clues about the attack, including "ink," a "mysterious Captain," and a "red room in Genesia."
After being stabilized by warriors, Lady Winter was escorted out of the city by her mother and her guardian, Councilor Hendrix (the new Ambassador), to continue her recovery away from public scrutiny.

The incident leaves many questions unanswered regarding the motive behind the attack, and the city awaits Lady Winter's eventual return for the full truth.
Shocking Assault on Lady Winter Sage Ultsch: A Close Call with Death
- Article in the Kraken Crier #6 - 11 August 2025 -In the dead of night, a flurry of activity at the city’s infirmary revealed an unsettling truth: Lady Winter Sage Ultsch, long presumed lost to the darkness of a coma, was the victim of a brutal and nearly fatal attack. Known for her outspoken nature and her ability to stir controversy in any situation, Lady Winter had always been a woman who spoke her mind without fear. Despite her bold demeanor, she remains an honored member of the Blue Caste—a woman respected, though never one to shy away from a challenge.
The details of the attack are still shrouded in mystery, but one thing is certain: Lady Winter was beaten mercilessly, choked, and nearly drowned. She has only been able to recall fragmented visions—a mention of ink, a mysterious Captain, and an eerie red room in Genesia—clues that only add to the enigma surrounding her near-fatal assault.
The scene in the infirmary was nothing short of chaotic as Winter was carried in by a group of warriors who had responded to her desperate cries for help. Her condition was dire, but her survival was a testament to her strength. It wasn’t until later that her condition stabilized, and, once awake, Lady Winter was able to stand on her own, weak but alive.
After she regained enough strength to walk, Lady Winter was escorted from the city by her mother and her guardian, Councilor Hendrix, who now serves as the city’s new Ambassador. Their expressions, filled with both concern and resolve, suggested the gravity of the situation. Together, they moved quietly out of the city, their destination unknown, but it was clear that Winter’s recovery would be taken into their hands, away from the city’s watchful gaze.
In a shocking turn of events, it has been reported that Winter’s assailant met a swift and mysterious demise. While the circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, it is certain that he can no longer threaten Lady Winter or the peace of the city.
The attack on Lady Winter has left many questions unanswered. Why was she targeted? What was the true motive behind this vicious assault? The city remains on edge, and all eyes will be on Lady Winter when she finally returns to reveal what happened during those dark days of silence.
For now, the citizens of Selnar can take solace in the knowledge that Lady Winter Sage Ultsch, though deeply wounded, has survived—against all odds. Her resilience remains a beacon of hope, and the city waits with bated breath for the truth to unfold.

FIRST CONVERSATION - Sylvi Amour
Summary of Event: Attack on Lady Winter
Events: Lady Winter was attacked and left for dead via strangulation. A warrior found her and brought her to the infirmary, where physicians (including Lady Valeria) brought her back from the brink of death. She was in a coma for five days and was a "Jane Doe" during that time as the warrior did not follow up. Lady Sylvi Amour, a housemate of Lady Winter, did not know about the attack or her disappearance due to working remotely and avoiding the Kajuralia weekend. Lady Winter is now recovering at her guardian's home for safety. The person who strangled Lady Winter has reportedly been apprehended.
People Involved:
Lady Winter: The victim of the attack. Winter Sage Ultsch (aaralynneshyla)
Lady Sylvi Amour: Lady Winter's housemate who discovered the incident and is seeking information and action.
Lady Kati Evans: Magistrate's assistant and advocate, who was unaware of the incident due to being busy with a new home. She expressed concern and committed to investigating.
A Warrior: The individual who found Lady Winter and took her to the infirmary, but did not follow up with her identity or condition.
Lady Valeria: Physician at the infirmary who treated Lady Winter.
Hendrix: Mentioned in relation to Lady Valeria scolding him at the infirmary.
Lady Kaela: Also became aware of Lady Winter's condition around the same time as Lady Sylvi.
Possible Time of Event: Lady Winter was in a coma for five days and was found on a Tuesday night. This suggests the attack likely occurred around the previous Thursday or Friday, possibly during the Kajuralia weekend.
Who to Talk with Next:
Lady Valeria (Physician at the infirmary): She would have the most detailed information about Lady Winter's condition, the exact date she was admitted, and potentially the identity of the warrior who brought her in.
Warrior's Hall: Since the perpetrator was reportedly apprehended, there should be information about the incident and the individual in the Warriors Hall records.
Abraham (at the Scribe Hall): Kati Evans intended to speak with Abraham about this, as he is a Magistrate and in the law department. She would likely be seeking his guidance or assistance in pursuing the matter further. or Acting High Magistrate (8/1): Nicholas Syvanus [nicholas.crisp]

[06:37] Kati Evans: Tal
[06:37] Kati Evans: Hello Lady Sylvi
[06:39] Sylvi Amour arriving from her villa to the scribes' hall, she'd see all the scribes busily working so early in the day, she'd turn to the tal behind her and greets Lady Kati warmly, "Tal Lady Kati. I trust you are well? Seems most of us survived Kajuralia." lowers her head a moment, with concern for a friend who isn't well. She'd ask, "Have you heard, that Lady Winter was attacked? She is not well, but recovering"
[06:40] Laerka walked up the stairs and raising her head seeing Aric the warrior stand there again, she asked herself if he was standing there, at this same position always and she smiled at him "Tal Master" she said "Is there anything you need since you seem to be glued to that spot" she smiled gently at him and then added "Maybe something to drink, or something to eat?"
[06:41] Kati Evans: "What! No, I had not heard that she was. What happened." Showing real concern for ladu Winter in her vocie.

[06:42] Ethereal Moonchild Rhenara let out a gasp hearing his profession! Indeed the mention of his profession in conjunction to the property near the Golden Larl did elicit exactly the reaction one who understood how businesses worked would react. Her posture straightened gaining more interest now.
"That explains your interest." she observed, "The Golden Larl does attract clientele who would appreciate fine jewellery, those with means and inclinations to such luxuries," she paused. "What type of jewellery do you specialize in? More aimed to the slaves, I suppose?"
Her mind continued to turn given the location. "Close enough to benefit foot traffic of wealthy patrons.." She had never visited that district, now Rhenara was genuinely curious. "I have heard of the Golden Larl. One of my client helps with the establishment. If you do meet Silas, do send my regards.."
At the greeting from her fellow Scribes, she politely dip her head and greeted the women, "Tal, Ladies" before her attention returned to Corrin.

[06:47] Sylvi Amour moved closer to Kati, and replies softly, her voice decidedly full of concern for her friend and housemate, but no longer as her guardian had moved Winter to his house for safety, "Lady Kati, Lady Winter was attacked, and left to die, fortunately a warrior saw her and took her to the infirmary. They did amazing, and brought her back to life. She was in coma for a hand, but she is now moved from my villa to live with her guardian who will watch that she is safe, and recover from this incomprehensible attack. I am surprised, being a magistrate's assistant, and an advocate that you have not heard of this crime!"

[06:48] Sylvi Amour adding to - turns to Rhenara, and would raise her voice a little so she could greet her appropriately, "Tal, Lady Rhenara" nods to the man she is talking to, too, "Tal, Sir" then resumes her quiet tone with Kati, "I truly do not like the way the city never informs each other when a crime has been committed. Nobody warned at all." her tone saddened.
[06:49] Korrin turned to look at the growing populace of the courtyard, Ladies and the like. A kind "Tal." was offered to the two women nearest him, not much of a turn of his head accompanied though, his attention already in consumption.
"Well," he started, shifting his weight to his toes, then letting himself fall to the balls of his feet. The hand that'd cupped his jaw had fallen to match the other in asymmetry, wrapping the opposite arm across his chest, "yea," he admitted, "The best advertisement happens with flesh," he continued, confident in tone, and amused at the interaction, "and I know no better way to draw eye to flesh, than being exotic, or laced with gold." he laughed a moment, "Or, I suppose," he chuckled a breath, "an exotic who's lac-" the freewoman's mention of an attack on another drew his head to a spin with furrowed brows.
His eyes locked to the woman. Any semblance of a smile had certainly evaporated.
[06:52] Kati Evans: Eyes grow as big as saucer as I hear of this news. Stunned and shaken, I softly say, "I have been busy moving into my new home over on the island and have not come over to the city for a couple of days."
[06:52] Kiki Silverclaw-Jacobson (elphaba.jinxing) is online.
[06:53] Kati Evans: "We do need a better way to let each other know of these things.
[06:54] zCS # [Mod] Chris1 Short [RP] logged into the region.
[06:55] Sylvi Amour nods and nods and says, "Oh, I'm so glad to hear it. It is safer, out there I am sure, away from the traffic of travelers coming and going. I, too, have requested a home out there, when I saw Hendrix's home, when we took Lady Winter there to recover from her attack. Soon, I hope, I shall be living there, too, since my work does not require me to come into the city daily. I can work remotely and be safe in my home" nods and says, "I am sure the city crier needs to be utilized much more. When a person comes into the infirmary, at death's door from strangulation and left to die, I think it is imperative that women are made aware to watch out for such crimes falling upon them, don't you?"
[06:56] zCS # [Mod] TiraBouscario Resident [Combat] logged into the region.
[06:56] Ethereal Moonchild Rhenara seemed impressed at the man's business philosophy. His frank assessment of jewellery displayed on slaves surely attracted attention. She was both responding to the marketing insights and also the sudden change in the courtyard's atmosphere.
The mention of an attack did make her expression grow thoughtful and serious beneath her veil. Her hand instinctively sought her satchel. She looked briefly to Korrin, "If you ever make jewellery for women of well repute and High Caste, do seek me out Korrin." she dipped her head politely, "I must return to the administrative building. I wish you well. And good luck to your business.." saying that she was soon seen headed towards the building as though in a hurry.

[07:04] Kiki Silverclaw-Jacobson (elphaba.jinxing): are you ok?
[07:04] Sylvi Amour nods and nods, "The warrior who took her to the infirmary did not follow up, did not inquire to see if she survived, or to find out her identity. Since she was in a coma, the infirmary physicians didn't know who she was, or whom to contact, but I feel the warriors should have made and incident report, and the citizens warned so someone could check in at the infirmary. I live with her but I didn't even know she was missing, as I was hiding away, working at home, avoiding the Kajuralia weekend. I only just realized 2 days ago, same time Lady Kaela became aware." nods and nods again, "Gratitude, Lady Kati. I would love to visit your new home." sighs, "Please, you are in the law department, please inform them of this"

[07:09] Sylvi Amour shakes her head, "No. The physician Lady Valeria said she had been there five days, let me see, I visited her, found out, on Tuesday night.
