To the Kindred of every territory who receives this.

Sheriff Fern Arable of Melbourne has not answered the court's call in many nights despite multiple summons to duty, nor has she been found at any location known to us. Her Hounds last had word of her before a solitary meeting at an undisclosed location in Docklands. She did not return from it.

We've since been through Docklands. And as it is a large area with certain locations unavailable to us, we have not yet covered it all yet, but thus far nothing has come of this search. No sign of a struggle, no ashes, no solid trace of who she was meeting or why.

Whether Fern Arable walks still or has met Final Death, this domain will not let the matter drop quietly.

The most veteran of her Hounds has been assigned the Sheriff's duty until this is settled. And I'll say what needs saying to anyone reading this outside of our domain, if word of this reaches your territory, a fleeing Kindred, a boast, a name, Melbourne wants to hear it. Boons will be spent to get answers, and I, the keeper of them, will not forget to who we owe.

Fern Arable made her share of enemies doing her job properly. That's not unusual. What is unusual is such a loyal agent of the Camarilla going dark without a trace and nobody having a clue. So take this as your notice. Melbourne is watching who shares information with us, and who doesn't. And each will get their due.

Until she's back to answer for her own absence, or her ashes are accounted for, this will not be finished.
