  • A letter to the one-eyed Legionnaire

    A letter penned in a neat, if somewhat small, hand is delivered to the City Watch marked for the attention of “The delightfully dedicated monocular officer of Order who so efficiently saw to our registration”

    Dearest Officer,

    As per your most reasonable request, I wish to elaborate on our most humble investigation.

    We at Blank & Dent are currently bound to a most intriguing commission; we have been tasked by our employers to locate and recover a puissant piece, and unmask the thief who wears it.

    The object in question is a most interesting item, the Kor-Ny-Noir diamond, a singular black diamond, cut as sharply and as skilfully as the purest of clear diamonds, set into a simple platinum band.

    As I explained to you Mister Policeman, the object is wilful, and on the unwary it may have a most pronounced effect. The object craves beauty, Mister Policeman, and in time it will drive its wearer to collect the same.

    Beauty does not sound much of a threat does it, Mister Policeman? Indeed, to most of its owners this object has inspired grandness; it has been worn by the finest art collectors, the most audacious architects, and the most passionate of romantics and artisans. But beauty has a darker side, Mister Policeman, some see the beauty in the colour of another’s eyes, or in the smile of a comely maiden, some will paint it, others may take a sharpened knife and take it. Others see true beauty in fear, or in the welling of fresh, bright blood. Some hear only the purest symphony in the screams of the suffering, Mister Policeman. The ring has sat upon the lightest and the darkest fingers, and it has driven them both to commit the most imaginative deeds.

    I assure you, Mister Policeman, that we will be most expedient in our investigations, and you have my word that any further information brought to light will be sent to you directly.


    Yours in trust and hope,

    Mr V A Dent & Miss H C Blank
