[Public] - posted early morning
It is with great sorrow that I inform the people of Cumberland and Nevarra that King Markus Pentaghast the III lost his life in the darkspawn attack on 22 Cloudreach. He will be greatly missed and forever remembered as the man who did everything in his power to protect Nevarra from the Blight, down to his final moments.
In the wake of the attacks in the city, the Chantry can help those whose homes were destroyed with food, shelter, and other necessities. I am working closely with the Merchants' Guild to mobilize crews to begin clean-up and reconstruction in the city as soon as possible.
Although these circumstances leave me with a heavy heart, I will do my best to serve you as my uncle did, and my grandfather before him.
