Would-be tyrant Richard Cypher caused panic and terror in a small village in D'Hara yesterday. The bastard son of Lord Panis Rahl, Cypher was raised in the non-magical realm of Westland. As such he has no knowledge of, or respect for, our proud customs and cultural heritage. With the whispers of the Mother Confessor in his ear, he commits atrocities to further his aim – to usurp the throne of the rightful Lord Rahl. May the Keeper prevent this, and watch over Master Rahl.

May the Creator watch over him.
