Arson Suspected in Fire

Yesterday evening a halo of fire could be seen over New Meridian. The Golden Sun Dojo, a fixture in the mostly secretive and hidden Daemon culture of New Meridian, burned to the ground last night.

The Volunteer Elemental Fire Squad was called to the scene by a neighboring business owner as soon as he spotted the blaze. The fire had raged out of control before their arrival; the VEFS representative has stated that they could only prevent the blaze from spreading at that point.

An investigation was launched first thing this morning. There is no positive evidence as yet, but rumors are circulating about a darkly dressed figure seen on the premises before the fire started. Burton Peeps has issued a statement that while the LEOS Investigative Branch is looking at what may have caused the blaze they are not prepared to indicate that it was in fact arson.
