The Imperial City – Emperor Uriel Septim VII was slain last night around midnight in the Imperial Palace. He was stabbed with a dagger through his back, receiving a mortal wound that the court healers could not heal despite all their efforts. The Imperial Guard has seized and executed the assassin on sight, but no information about the identity of the murderer has been released as of yet.

Daylight, reddened by the pyre, faded quickly as they descended into the mine. Nihlus kept a wary eye on Shepard. She was pulled taut. He could see it in the way she jumped at every sound, hear it in her dry voice and her clipped, monosyllabic responses. If it were anyone else, he’d write it off as edginess before a fight. But he had seen her prepare for deployment on Eden Prime. Shepard was the type to feel the pressure after a mission, not before.
