Boris the Hat – slain in the Zhentarim assault

Today, on a day of citywide mourning, a great light went out in our lives.

Our-sorry that was wrong, Sarbreenar’s greatest ever citizen passed over into Kelemvor’s realm, foully slain by enemies of Sarbreenar.

Boris the Hat, the greatest hero in living memory, rose from humble beginnings to become Mayor, leading our city from relative obscurity to a place of prominence and importance within Toril. Along the way he became immensely rich through the shrewdness of his brain and the determined manner only those destined for greatness possess, gathering wealth and prestige like a farmer gathers crops.

His many adventures saw him overcome Sarbreenars most villainous enemies, most notably Nemini Deathweaver, although he can also rank two Dragons, a Bebilith and countless other fearsome beasts as victims of his unparalleled skill with a quarterstaff.

Perhaps his most notable achievement was the formation of an adventuring group called CoSL (Crusaders of Shadow and Light); stalwart defenders of Sarbreenar and the benchmark for all other adventuring groups.

He will be widely mourned and missed; Sarbreenar will be a vastly poorer place without him.
