Five Murders and the Romany

Five Murders and the Romany

You are Bashalde of the Sinti and by extension you are of the Romany. You are a gypsy. Itinerant and traveling throughout Europe and this is your life and profession. At every stop, you sing and talk of Sinti lore and snippets from far away lands that you've “come from.” But in the last five places you have stopped,young boys have been killed. Each time, with the words of one of your songs scratched into the dead bodies. Sinti law states that for the Traveler, outside laws do not matter. Tradition requires you to walk on and to let the outside world swallow you and your teaching. And then you leave before harm comes to you or any others. But for you the harm is happening and has happened. You are implicated in these five murders. You, Bashalde, find it hard to keep with your world and people. This, probably, will have you in jail or, worse, killed. You find your choice a difficult one. Have faith in Sinti tradition and travel on. Or do you leave as as to clear to your name by finding who is the actual murderer.. The first possibility is to be prosecuted by the outside world. The second would be to possibly losing your family behind. To lose it all permanently. . So you leave your Sinti family and traditions behind and walk into the world outside. Lost and without a friend, the only place to start is the tavern.
