Mr. Brass,

As you may or may not know, Councilor Merrickson as perished at the hands of the Necromancer Aleczumberzeil's creations. His body was purified by flame afterward -- As I can recall, you were a close member of Merrickson's entourage and also, an artist of some reknown.

If you could provide me with a short memorial speech for an event I am preparing-- I would be grateful.

Sergeant Lothor, Sanctuary Watch.
