โš–๏ธ The Ambitious Merchant โ€“ Donnรกn the Trader

โ€œEvery man has his price. Even kings.โ€

Known in every market from Drogheda to Kells, Donnรกn thrives on profit and connections. The Boyne Valley is his lifeblood โ€” but control of its routes means wealth beyond imagining. Was the victim in the way of his ambition?

๐Ÿช“ The Viking Raider โ€“ Ivar the Red

โ€œI came seeking silver, not blood.โ€

A hardened raider from across the sea, Ivar claims he was only after plunder when the murder struck. Yet, some whisper he was seen near the victimโ€™s camp the night before. Was it chance? Or unfinished business carried on Irish soil?

๐Ÿ’ The Noble Lady โ€“ Lady Ailbhe of Brega

โ€œOne must keep oneโ€™s secretsโ€ฆ even from the grave.โ€

Ailbhe is admired for her grace, her wit, and her influence at gatherings of power. Yet her familyโ€™s fortunes rise and fall with shifting allegiances. Behind her veil of courtesy, could pride or vengeance have driven her to act?

๐Ÿ‘‘ The High Kingโ€™s Agent โ€“ Cormac mac Fiachra

โ€œI serve the High King. Nothing more, nothing less.โ€

Trusted by the High King himself, Cormacโ€™s duty was to gather intelligence, smooth alliances, and watch for betrayal. Too much knowledge, though, makes a man dangerous. Was he merely keeping order, or silencing a threat to the throne?
