Aquilo

A mining shanty town, initially leased from the Odonine mountain clans, Aquilo was starting to flourish despite the harsh realities of a land in conflict. Oshar had carefully selected an abode on the edge of the settlement and had spent the last day watching the regular caravans of slave labour delivered to the nearby mining camps. A convenient use for prisoners of war.

He had arrived the previous evening and dispatched the previous occupant of the building with his usual efficiency. Normally he would make a study of such a kill to ensure that his operation would not be disturbed, old drunk widowers were usually the best candidates. This fellow had been old and alone, but had met his death stone cold sober, which increased the chances of friends and acquaintances dropping by.

Oshar did not intend to be here long enough for it to matter.
