Inn Patron Punches Preacher in the Face
An anonymous letter informs that a quarrel broke out between a Holy Church priest and a stranger in the Lakeshire inn. We decided to bring you the letter in its entirety, word for word.
Dear writers of The Stormwind Daily Post.
I read your paper every single, as I am certain many people are. And though I know you usually report far more important news than such gossip, but such an event sickened me to my very heart, and I felt it was my civic duty to make sure these events do not become so easily ignored.
Today, in the farther reaches of the Kingdom, in the town of Lakeshire, I have witnessed the most terrible thing - A priest of the Church of the Holy Light, the same Church many if not all of us go to often to pray and cleanse our minds from the troubles of our world, entered the town inn, seeking merely to freshen up after his travels.
Not more than a few moments after his arrival, as he exchanged words of prayer with the local innkeeper, a gray haired man approached him, and began arguing with him regarding payment on a bottle of wine that would certainly be used for holy purposes. The priest looked at him with surprise of his harsh accusations, and the man suddenly punched him right in the face! The man then oddly enough fall down to his knees, gripping his head. I think he was mentally ill.
When the guard arrived, he demanded the man to apologize to the priest and leave the premises, which the man of course did immediately, but not before accusing the priest of using dark magic.
The priest was a man from Duskwood, and I truly feel that it is heartwarming to see a priest from such a dark land still take the time to visit other towns such as Lakeshire to provide spiritual guidance. And it truly sickens me how we let such a man harm our beloved church and priests.
I have taken the liberty to ask around, and I feel the need to inform the public that the assailant's name is Francis Pierce. He appears to be in his late forties, with gray hair, wearing a hardened leather coat, wearing short travel boots, and two large satchels on his hit. I believe there is reason to suspect this man is prone to violence, and I advise all the good people of our kingdom to keep an eye out for this mindless brute and heathen.
King's Honor and Light Bless."
