A very sad conclusion has come to the search for the missing Grand Master Hiram Abif. King Solomon along with the King of Tyre and an entourage of 12 Fellowcrafts have made their way to a hill west of Mount Moriah.

At this location a fresh grave was discovered while the same Fellowcrafts were in search of Abif. According to sources close to the investigation a lone sprig of accacia suspicously marked the grave. The Fellowcrafts did discover the jewel of Hiram Abif's office on or about the body.

King Solomon himself examined the jewel and determined, that it in fact did belong to Grand Master Hiram Abif and was the jewel of his office.

King Solomon along with the assistance of the King of Tyre did manage to raise the body of Abif. The body was transported by the 12 Fellowcrafts and accompanied by both Kings. The body will eventually come to rest in the sanctum santorim of the Temple where it will receive a proper burial.

A tragic ending to a life cut short because of greed, impatience, and unsubdued passions on the part of three men from Tyre whose murderous designs took over their logical thinking. It seems that these type of situations always end with an extremely sad outcome. May we all learn from this tragedy for generations to come.
