So Taurenil wanted to be buried at the abbey, and she adamantly opposed giving the three relics as prizes. Maybe what she really wanted was to be buried near one of the relics?
I think it is important to remember that magic is greatly diminished, but not entirely gone. It might be possible that this was a "suicide" with the intent to be resurrected, though the chances of success are not guaranteed. Getting a rival to the family to be the suspect must have been icing on her cake.
All premature speculation of course. Still, I suspect Taurenil Gnu’ed something that has yet to be revealed. And hey, what better place to beat the odds than at the Abbey of Saint Aldwin?
I’ve been (re)reading for the last several days and as always I find myself caught up long before I’m ready to stop! Very interested to see where this arc leads.
calling it now: she actually isnt dead. and she’s planning on recovering something she doesnt want given away. while magic is weakened and doesnt work on the grounds (so no simulacrums) she probably has a magic item on herself (which might be another point to her skull being intact and not damaged)
Bum bum BUMMMMM!

She’s not down there, is she? She’s disappeared, hasn’t she?
I love that idea.
t!
Or she planned to be killed so she could awaken as an undead.
