SHARN—Disgraced scribe Anastro Lavatri, convicted last year of treason in the wake of the “Exchequer Scandal,” will be hanged tomorrow in front of Andith Tower in the Ambassador Towers district.
Lavatri’s barrister, Bandaran Urnash, said last week that he’d exhausted his legal appeals, and that the writ of commutation which would have spared his life has languished in the Breland Parliament.
Lavatri’s execution will bring to a close an embarrassing scandal at the vaunted King’s Citadel. Three staff officers and two scribes, including Lavatri, were convicted last Olarune of embezzling funds for the city’s defense, and building themselves opulent towers on the Upper Central plateau.
The conspiracy was uncovered only after a routine crown audit noticed some discrepancies in the Citadel’s books. At trial, some witnesses expressed doubt as to whether Lavatri realized the ledger entries he made were fraudulent.
Although she wasn’t implicated in wrongdoing, the scandal led Knight-Marshal Chanarri Yewn to resign her commission. Her crown-appointed replacement, Knight-Marshal Banarak Tithon, holds the post to this day. He is expected to oversee Lavatri’s execution.

One of the youngest of the captains in the Seadragon fleet...sinked a whole Aundairan flotilla in the Last War on his own! My youngest, Ukash, sailed with him! Well, he was in the Seadragon fleet till he had some 'differences' with the High Prince! I heard he's the only living man who shouted in Ryger's face and walked off alive...from that day, they didn't spoke a word to each other. Or so they say. But Hagal...there's something about the man...you just had to love him! And the elves are taking him now! Kill em' prolly!"
