Karnaca grieves tonight at the death of Ivan Jacobi, Administrator of Bridge, Road, and Cemetery Permits. Jacobi was a rising star in local politics. He got his start in public service as the Undersecretary to the Harbormaster, assessing fines on maritime smugglers. But Jacobi soon left for an opportunity in Karnaca’s Grounds and Gardens Division. It was there that he began “speaking for the Silent,” holding rallies to decry the controversial practice of “regraving.” Jacobi was rehearsing before such a rally when he met his sudden end, slain by an unknown assailant. The Serkonan Grand Guard suspects the murder was politically motivated.
Jacobi’s killer remains at large, but the Guard insists the public is in no danger. However, they urge citizens to be cautious and to contact them about any suspicious activity.
