The weird cave people

However, there was indeed something the guard had failed to see. At the entrance to an alleyway, a figure who's face was hidden by a hood was dragging away a body. The body was easily identifiable as a Cahirian deacon by the deacon's mark displayed on the cassock the deceased wore. Philip Ferrec was his name. He'd been a respected member of the community and somewhat famous for his work, The Poorman's Ecumenical Handbook. Unbeknown to the public however, was the fact that he was a member of the Cahirian Inquisition, an Ordinator in fact. His killer finished dragging his body away, and slunk off into the night.
The following morning, a commoner found Philip and immediately reported what he'd found to the local Captain of the guard. Upon hearing the news that the respectable Philip Ferrec had been strangled - well, assumed to have been strangled as there were no stab wounds - the captain promptly spit out whatever substance he'd been drinking, most likely beer. The captain mustered a few men and began conducting an investigation of the crime scene. While that went on, Philip was given an honorable Cahirian burial, his remains laid to rest in a mausoleum on a hill outside of the city. Within a week the killer was found, tried, and executed.
Prior to the killer's execution, soldiers had attempted to interrogate the killer. He said nothing, but while one soldier was attempting to 'persuade' the killer, another found a small tattoo of a sun on his left shoulder. This was taken note of, as it could've had some significance.
Days later, the case was reviewed by members of the Inquisition, most having some suspicions of an Argeadian resurgence. However, the thoughts were dismissed as the superiors had decided that there wasn't yet enough proof to fully determine if this was the work of only one heretic or an entire syndicate. The thought still lingers on though, the Inquisition waiting in anticipation of another incident, and by extent, an entire cult to show up on their doorstep.
