Give us our damn Office's back!
Despite Klion?s much-vaunted claims about his sure and certain victory in the war he started against Trinsic, his credibility (already rather dented by the distinct lack of support from any of his supposed allies, and the ridiculous propaganda produced in Yew) has taken some further heavy knocks over the last few days. First, he lost a skirmish at the Trinsic moongate while Duchy and Kaldorian troops stood and watched. Then he lost an outpost to his local brigands. On Saturday he sent a force of a dozen or so against Trinsic, which was speedily destroyed by the defenders, leaving the great Lord Protector to crawl home again with his tail between his legs. Then later the same day, to add insult to injury, he was attacked in his very own tavern and knocked down yet again by a person or persons unknown.
With his usual lack of compassion (which of course he doesn?t believe in), he has now turned to blatant terrorist tactics against Trinsic, sending a mounted guerilla force in very late on Saturday evening and indiscrimately attacking women and children. This is hardly likely to gain him any sympathy in Trinsic or elsewhere, and it really seems more likely that the citizens and defenders of Trinsic will be even less eager to consider his public offer of clemency. Which, by the way, no-one has yet accepted, as far as we know. A rather speaking comment on the contempt felt by Trinsicians for the self-styled Lord Protector of Yew.
Cove celebrates another victory! This time against Haven.
Yesterday glasses were raising in Cove as they were out numbered but victorious in battle against The Order of Haven. The attack was a suprise and only a few Covians were around and exhausted from just fighting in exodus.
When the Covians thought all was lost The Baron himself took up arms and charged the remaining men along side Scout Dalamar, Kal Shadowhand and Corporal Mela Arkay. Hats off to the Baron himself who was standing with barely a scratch at the end of the battle - Now thats
my kind of man!

Rumours
Covian discipline recently seems to be slacking as Scout Shadowhand and Conan Darkmoon were ripping each other to shreds outside The Trinsic Rose. Poor little Gwen.

Adverts
Jern and Smaed Fretting are moving house and from 3 January to 12 February will be fully occupied building and equipping their new home between Silverleaf Tavern/Inn and the sea. Mail for them should now be left in the Silverleaf Tavern and Inn mailbox, or the mailbox outside The Trinsic Rose. Ye Olde Poste Office is now owned by the Duchy couple Adammair and Alraune Kestrel so mail for them should now go there.
