Citizens of Sanctuary! It is my greatest pleasure to announce the death of the dread illithid Phandiates, who was responsible for enthralling a great deal of the Watch, including the pillar of a man, Sheriff Azzam.

House Archibald was able to successfully locate the new lair of the illithid, and through the combined effort of Ordinants, House Retainers, and the Sanctuary Watch, we were able to utterly decimate the illithid's thralls and experiments, and eventually, the monster itself.

It was a long, arduous and terrifying struggle and there were times where we thought we were doomed. Yet even the illithid are no match for Sanctuary steel when combined with solid determination and unrelenting resolve. In the end, we did prevail victoriously, the wretch of an illithid crying out in abject terror as we did lay him low.

There were casualties however, yet only one was permanent. It is with a somber heart, that I announce the death of Elizabeth Ravenlock, love of Wyric Crowshire. She fell as a hero, fighting the illithid beside her warrior love.

Rest easy Sanctuary, the illithid is dead, and the fallen avenged.

~Private James William Everard
