Ye Morning Poste

Inferno at the Poste!
Poste offices gutted by mystery blaze

A fierce blaze swept through the Poste?s Trinsic offices last week, destroying our presses and completely decimating our archives. Fortunately no one has been hurt, although Miss Skeeter?s favourite handbag was a casualty (every cloud has a silver lining! The thing was hideous!)
The fire is thought to have started last Saturday night, but the cause is still unknown. Arson has not been ruled out. Could it be an insurance job? A disgruntled reader? Or did some clumsy tinker knock over a candle?
Builders have been in all week and we?ve finally got our delicate hands on a new printing press, so it?s business as usual for your favourite newspaper.
Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks for your patience, lovely readers.


VanQa Kidnapped
Crazed drow makes off with our beloved tavernkeeper

VanQa, she of the silver hair and golden tonsils, has been snatched from the Rose by her stalker, crazed drow Iglata Slyannen.
A small group of VanQa?s friends, including VanQa?s rumoured beau, Devante Stirling and his Marksmen, dishy paladin Pierre Vikor of Trinsic, and injured Kaldor Commander Cal Soulshadow, tracked the drow to a hideout outside Umbra. However, the portcullis was locked and the drow refused to come out to play. He was seen disappearing through a moongate with several henchmen, all dressed in black. VanQa was not seen, and many now fear for her safety.
According to her sister, Cenire, Iglata?s unhealthy attachment to VanQa is due to that old chestnut, unrequited love. An adopted orphan, Iglata was raised alongside VanQa?s grandmother, and the young drow fell deeply in love with her. Unfortunately, she grew to love and marry another, leaving Iglata insane with jealousy. Since he could not have her, he decided that noone could, and placed a terrible, fatal curse on her that aged her thousands of years in a matter of seconds.
Unluckily for VanQa, she so closely resembles her grandmother that Iglata believes her to be a reincarnation, and her friends and family fear that history will repeat itself.
VanQa?s husband, Miguen, has been missing for some time, and VanQa was recently upset to receive a box of his bloodstained clothes, and two severed ears, from Iglata.
Let us hope that this madman is caught before he can harm her further!





Rumours

Sally Buttons was spotted outside Trinsic with her very good friend, Ivan the cook. Of course, coy Mrs Buttons was quick to deny that anything improper had occurred between herself and Ivan, because she was married. When it was pointed out that her married status did not deter her from having a brief fling with Kaldorian, Arinar De Aviram, Mrs Buttons blushed scarlet and burst into tears. But of course!

Fabulously butch Kaldor Commander Cal Soulshadow has returned to the Kaldorian homeland of Gorimdor in the hope that surgeons can repair her shattered shoulder. The commander was injured during recent clashes between loyalists and rebels up in Minoc, but what first appeared to be a simple fracture is now in danger of becoming a career-ending injury.
Accompanied by hulking hunk Kai, she boarded a ship early this morning, leaving Captain Talon to keep an eye on the army. No pun intended!

Talking of Kai, the big man was seeing enjoying a jug or seven of cider in the Keg and Anchor last night. Kai, who usually only touches water, seemed to take a liking to the evil brew and was later seen being guided towards the gate by his commander, looking very much the worse for wear. Let?s just hope it?s not a rough crossing, eh?
