'Professional and productive'

Llalarkno Country Estates - the entity supervising the estates of the district Llalarkno on Methel - opened negotiations with Kotzash Mutual on Dar Sai.

Although not confirmed by any of the involved parties, the negotiations were presumably geared towards Llalarkno Country Estates obtaining the exclusive mining rights on Shanitra - Methel's moon - which are currently owned by Kotzash.

A spokesman from Llalarkno Country Estates described the atmosphere of the negotiations as "professional and productive" however no actual progress was reported.

According to unconfirmed sources within the Methlean community, Kotzash Mutual was responsible for the current situation with the Methlean moon Shanitra. Kotzash Mutual, formerly owned by criminal Lens Larque, implemented a comprehensive scheme to mutilate the surface of Shanitra by carefully excavating a network of tunnels and applying precision detonations. It is rumored that the demon prince did not live to see the end result. So who finished the job? Who was so angry with the Methlens that they now have a humoungous Darsh face hanging over their garden wall...?

A spokesman from Kotzash Mutual was not willing to comment on the proceedings.

The remains

Attel Malagate: Never found. The location of Lugo Teehalt's planet was never disclosed.

Kokor Hekkus: The remains of his body were brought to the Sea Provence University on Alphanor for autopsy and research. A substantial paper was written on the findings.

Viole Falushe: Falushe's body - although heavily damaged - was restored to a presentable state and preserved. It's now on show in the remains of the Palace grounds. Persistent rumors go that essential parts of the body (pieces of the brain, the spinal cord and certain glands) have been removed by an unknown party.

Lens Larque: His body was transferred to Dar Sai. Nobody knows where it is, although it was probably destroyed.

Howard Alan Treesong: The Cleadhoe's have always refused to give up the remains of the last Demon Prince. The lifeless eyes of Howard Alan Treesong still look upon the marmelized body of Nymphotis.

Legacy

"Only now is becoming clear the enormous wealth the deceased Demon Princes amassed." according to a spokesman of IPCC, one of the organizations responsible for dismantling the empires of the former master criminals.

Just a superficial glance at each individuals wealth:

Attel Malagate: real estate, hotels, casino's, holiday resorts, various industrial plants manufacturing equipment for holiday resorts, bank accounts, transportation vehicles, total assets estimated over 12 billion SWE.

Kokor Hekkus: real estate, including several celestial bodies like planets and moons, interstellar transportation equipment like space ships and shuttles, several numbered accounts at prestigious banks, total assets estimated over 15 billion SWE and counting.

Viole Falushe: real estate, bio-techno plants, bank accounts, large collection of fine art, jewelry, an amazing quantity of gold, several celestial bodies including the one hosting the Palace of Love, total assets estimated over 13 billion SWE.

Lens Larque: factories, haulage equipment, industrial equipment, bank accounts, amazing collection of space ships, real estate, total assets estimated over 8 billion SWE and counting.

Howard Alan Treesong: Being the last of the Princes to die, activities are still underway to collect all facts and numbers. So far it appears that Treesong had a liking for plain cash and stocks and bonds. As of today an amount of 4 billion SWE has been tracked back to his name.

As of yet it remains unclear what will happen next. Sources close to Earth and Rigel governments speak of the forming of creating a special Trust an appointing a dedicated Committee to support charitable initiatives using the combined assets. One thing is clear though: it will take a considerable amount of time and effort to get "the books" in order.

This Lens Larque....

".... is Darsh, and originally bore the name Husse Bugold. He became an outcast, a 'rachepol,' and lost an ear. His other ear he lost only recently, at Tintle's Shade in Rath Eileann. How do I know? I cut it off myself, Madame Tintle probably cooked it into next day's ahagaree."
