"That's the big question, isn't it?" Aeryna says with a sigh. “I love Ophanheim, but it has no shortage of people willing to go to extremes to get what they want. So even if we narrowed the listing down to people who had access to nullpriest technology, the likelihood that someone made a deal or hired a thief from Heaven’s Veil to steal one, or even some third thing we haven’t thought of is just as likely. So I suppose the best way I can tell you how to narrow down suspects is by realizing having the means doesn’t mean much – motive, on the other hand, that could get you somewhere. Look for who benefits the most from an assassination, or perhaps whose power becomes more vulnerable because of it or something like that. I know that might not be enough, but it’s all I really know.”
