I was emptying the dishwasher when I suddenly got an idea.
CrabNebula has practically been begging us to get his hints. 'The king of our forest', I think, has to refer to the killer. What use would it be otherwise?
So who could be the King of our forest?
I'm now thinking... Strider.
Strider is the nickname of Aragorn in The Lord of the Rings. He starts his life as a homeless warrior, superb tracker and master of survival in the wilderness (or, to phrase it differenly, the forest). He ends his life as King of Gondor. The good King, therefore 'our King'. As heir of Elendil, he is the symbol of the human resistance against the orks.
The Lord of the Rings isn't part of the mythology of this game, but it certainly is mythological in its own right.
I therefore have come to the belief that the deathscene hints at Strider as the killer.
Unvote, if necessary.
Vote Strider
Not watertight, admittedly, but if anyone has a better idea, I'd love to hear it.
