Hot News!
Duke's expedition to Fire Temple a success.
Darlings, it's always nice when something goes to plan, and for Duke Irvyn, the expedition to the Fire Temple resulted in the old man collecting his missing book (the lengths some people go to in order to avoid Library fines astounds your prompt reporter). Of course, he was abley assisted by the elven group and the Knights Templar, as well as his own Duch Guards, and, yes he generally did just shout out support rather than wading in, but one has to be cultuered, now.

Unfortunately, the book is no use at all as a clue to the missing Chancellor?s whereabouts, being entirely blank with only a nasty greyish light on its pages. To anyone who has spend their time trawling the many books in this land, this could come as a bit of an upset.
A further consultation with the witch took place. Fortunately this time she did not ask for blood, but neither was she very helpful, only saying that Chancellor Michael already had details of a ceremony which could be performed to reveal the contents of the book. So it was back to Spiritwood University, where, after much searching by everyone, the noble Lord Taggart discovered the required volume describing the
Azak-Vil ceremony. The ingredients required may prove somewhat difficult, being the hide of an ancient wyrm, as much blood as possible from blood elementals, phoenix feathers, and more blood (is this a vampire book?) from an elf. An attempt to get these various articles and perform the ceremony will be
made on Sunday, and the Duke has asked for help again.

Local Round-up Rhovanion
Seems busy in the snowy valley, with old Knight Errant (Erratic?) Gorthyn summoning people long since departed from the lands, and setting up something he refers to as the Shadow Order.
In other news, it seems that Muldran Skully has regained his lost 'Elemental Stones' and has begun pestering people about ritual magic once more.
Trinsic
Several incidents have taken place on the outskirts of the city, with shadowy figures watching both gates to the Sandstone City. Although no violence has befallen anyone (yet!) who are these mysterious figures, and what do they want?
Tokuno Islands
The Empress of these distant Islands has asked for the assistance of the people in gathering her lost treasures. It is rumoured that this action has come about due to amounts of blackrock being washed up on the beaches of the Islands - and quickly being snapped up by the wildlife.
