Man in Rags

The Man in Rags was a ghoul lurking about the grounds at Vargrend Academy. It was used to support the story by Reverend Leland that undead creatures, controlled by the Church of Mortaebius, were responsible for the murder of several nobles.

The ghoul was intentionally seen by several students and teachers, and promptly reported to the Town of Vargrend Constable, Lieutenant Herrington. However, Herrington, being part of the conspiracy, did not "find" the creature.

The plot culminated with attempted murder on the day of the tournament at Bristol Academy with the visiting Liaern Academy on May 28, 725. During that evening, a pirotechnics squad from the County of Li'Yeiraun displayed fireworks on Emerald River across from Bristol Manor.
