Duke Rescued!
(but probably needs it all over again...)
Darlings, the Poste press room smells like terrible, terrible singed bits here and there, but fortuantely no one seems worse for wear. However, your darling reporter has been able to collect herself enough to find out that the adorable Duke Irvyn was rescued by a cadre of clever, clever guards (including the devilishly sexy Lance Williams).
The poor old Middlethorne had sailed (or been sailed) out to a shipwreck just near the mysterious Serpent Pillars, and had found himself washed up on an ancient shipwreck there. Guarded by sea serpents, he just couldn't bring himself to swim 500 miles back to shore - all that work behind the desk obviously doesn't do wonders for the swimming muscles. According to the words of people who saw him brought back, though, the seaweed and raw fish diet looks like it's going to be all the rage; that little paunch he was developing (yes dear, you were) has completely gone. Your friendly reporter was speaking to the rather fit Sheriff of Trinsic the other day - perhaps the Duke's disappearance and diet was formed by a little professional jealousy? Hmmm?
The Duke's absence didn't stop him obtaining a large amount of written information (probably very wet drivel) which is currently on display in the
Duchy records office. Scholars are yet to be clamouring to get access to the paperwork, probably due to the fact that one can smell it from the far side of Trinsic.
As a wonderful little coda (that will terrify even the most stranded man) it appears that Countess Gwyn "I'm only in it for the honey" Quaintly has rushed to the Duke's rescue, sweeping him away to an undisclosed location to help with his recovery. Best of luck, Duke Irvyn. Your darling reporter will be sure to send out the search parties later today!

Bad for your Elf?
Dreadful pun pervades serious story
Your equal opportunities reporter isn't one of those racialist people, and feels a need to point out when enough is enough... While travelling through the wilds of Yew (on an errand to hand in some wonderful fabric, don't you know) your excited reporter found herself watching the hideous scene playing out. A young elvish man was hiding, wimpering, inside one of the houses on the outskirts of Yew town. He told me that he had been attacked, and whipped to an inch of his life after he had found himself lost in the woods, after travelling through the Heartwood gate.
He had then been set up by four men, who proceeded to beat the merry hell out of him. As your compassionate reporter was talking to him, an angry mob passed by outside, lead by a brute with a nice face, but dreadful breath. Fortunately, your heartfelt reporter managed to hide the poor elf, and has spirited him away to a save location within Trinsic. The poor lad wants to head back to Yew, but is in a dreadful state.
A warning, then - your crusading reporter will be defending elves from those aggressors - no matter how cute they are. The aggressors, not the elves.

Local Round-up
Spiritwood
A traveller in Spiritwood was alarmed late on Friday evening by what he claims was a daemon on the roof of the University. The man, who only gave his name as Drew, said:
"It was bellowing and howling something chronic, could hear it from miles off. Thought it had escaped from the hedge maze at first, but it was a big grey thing, not red like the ones there, and it was stuck on the roof of the old University building. It looked over the edge at me a few times but it didn't show any signs of jumping on me, which they usually do."
One wonders what this means and whether this is the simple and obvious explanation of why the old Chancellor is missing.
