Single man in need of affection.. To my surprise my personal mail box had a letter in this morning (not that I don't get letters..) The contents of which read: Quote:
I travelled to the mailing address and managed to track him down. After some discussion, it became apparent this man definately was an very eligible bachelor. So I've decided to help him in his quest to meet a lady. I know there are many single women out there dying to meet the man of their dreams, and this is their chance. I won't give away where he is from, or his name, but I will say this; The gentleman seems to be fairly genuine. He is tall, has dark skin, deep emerald eyes. He's in his twenties, has a decent job, and earns a very decent wage. He's also generous with his money (not that it matters.... of course.. ) He's good with animals, well educated.. and definately a catch for any lonely women. So, if you're interested in meeting this man, please send a letter to me (Gretcha Gossip) and I'll arrange a meeting between you. The evening will be paid for by him and at a place of your choice. You'll also get your fifteen minutes of fame, as any woman who replies to his advert will not only have the pleasure of a date with him, they'll receive a personal one on one interview with me, Gretcha Gossip.

![]() | ![]() [The news as contained in this post you can take as IC knowledge. However any posts it links to are purely OOC information, unless you happen to have a good explanation why you would know about them IC.] Today's packed edition of Poste is brought to you by Gretcha Gossip ------------ Announcement! Calling Wizards Mages Witches and Seers from Across the Lands! It has been rumoured that in Castle British there has been the discovery of the arrival of Sherry the Mouse. Would all those of a magical nature who can bend the laws of nature to serve the lands of Sosaria gather to form a Council of Mages to discuss this most recent development. The venue and time of the inaugural meeting shall be revealed soon. The Shadowcourt [ooc most likely to be Monday 23rd October 8pm at Rhovanion] Repulsive rebels attack farmers! Then lie to cover their behinds.. ![]() Reading through the Covians 'story' it seemed a little fishy, so I sent Jack Bing in to investigate! The real version of events lies below. Yesterday evening the Covian rebels stooped to a new low. Being hard pressed on all fronts and in desperate need of supplies they have started to rob and steal from their very peasentry and even their allies. The first incident was brought to us by the "Southern Liberation Front", a group of Covian peasents who have been attacking their own town guardsmen. Having taken their virtual enslavement for so long they have now risen and struck back at their oppressors. Armed only with the tools of their various trades the people of Cove have crippled various parts of the Covians military and economy. The second incident was a lot more sinister. Some of the Covians had stripped the clothes from the handful of dead SLF they had managed to slaughter, donning their disguises they waited on the road between Vesper and Minoc, awaiting their victims. Eventually a small group of Vesperian farmers came into view, leading their packhorses towards Minoc in order to sell their crops at market. The disgusied Covians then halted the farmers, blocking their path. When they believed the farmers were thoroughly distracted a large unit of Covian guardsmen hurtled from either side of the road, descending on the poor group of farmers. However the farmers weren't taking it lying down. Forming up in a tight group around the goods they had worked so hard to grow they set their pitchforks and shovels and laid into the murderous rebels. The Yewish Guardsmen had gotten wind of the ambush, marching on the double to try and save the farmers lives, however they weren't quite fast enough, arriving as the fight was finishing, but they descended on the remaining Covians like a storm. Most of the farmers survived and gave the covians a good kicking! What new low will the Covians reach? Attacking their allies and peasentry? Will they field child soldiers perhaps? Or maybe threaten to kill the families of those that do not fight? Or perhaps they will shoot their own men as they flee from combat. Thank you Jack - G.G Rescue Attempt Gone Wrong! Failed rescue attempt resulting in major bloodbath - Sent in from an unknown source VALORIA, October 19: Valorian Mayoress Kidnapped - failed Rescue Attempt resulting in major bloodbath. On October 10th several Kidnappers abducted the Mayoress, Lady Tussi de Luxe (32), on her way home from the Sword & Shovel Tavern. A ransom note was posted in serveral public places, demanding 50,000 goldcoins and 100 valorite ingots as ransom. Yesterday night, a rescue team of brave Valorians and Associates travelled to the Brigands Fort to pay the demanded ransom. After tenacious negotiations about the release, mayhem ensued with the cause unknown. A valorian citizen reported that the leader of the rescue team refused to hand the ransom over to the kidnappers: "Aye, it was pretty obvious that the kidnappers were not going to play games. That Lady was tied tightly to a tree and the one who shouted orders had his axe disturbingly close to her." After arguing for some time whether the ransom or Lady Tussi is to be handed over first, the kidnappers lost their patience and put that axe to use. The following battle, brief but nontheless brutal, resulted in several badly wounded people - including two kidnappers and their hostage. The former hostage, relieved to be alive, was carried back to her House and is still recuperating from the ordeal. Meanwhile the temper of the Valorian people is very agitated - the cries for revenge are getting louder, demanding posting a bounty for the vile brigands. It is the hope of the Valorian Citizens that the Mayoress will be able to give a full description of her terrible ordeal and the evil perpetrators to bring them to justice. Undead Attack! Seems noones safe from the walking dead.. With reports of undead swarming around the lands of Sosaria it was no surprise when I heard news of yet another attack, this time in Yew. The walking dead rampaged through the town, tearing apart all that crossed their path, before launching an attack on Stonekeep. The Guards there reported that the attacks had become more frequent of late, and that the undead force is rapidly growing. Theres been many stories of people passing by or through the crypts to give their respect to deceased loved ones and coming out in a rather different form to that they went in. Death tolls seem to be rising rapidly, and many that have passed seem to be walking around again.. Where are they all coming from, what exactly is the cause of them all rising again? Noone knows.. but I suspect it's something big. One things for sure.. If you go down to the woods today... avoid the crypts at all costs. Kicking Kaldorians! The Kings' Land! News received from reporter Tina Tattle in Serpants Hold Yesterday evening a campaign began to regain the Island of Serpent's hold. The Royal Marksman Regiment under the Command of Captain Devante Stirling and The Britannia Guard under the command of Captain Esmeralda took control of the Garrison on the Eastern shore of the North Island. Soldiers and Wytches of the Khaldorian army attempted to expel the Loyalist forces on no less than two occasions, but the position was bravely held by The Royal Marksmen and Britannian Guard. The Rebels realising the day was lost retreated, intelligence suggests they now occupy the area around the docks. Loyalist soldiers are now 'dug in' at the Garrison and in the coming days will rally thier forces and attempt to regain once loyalist land from the clutches of the evil Rebels. Well done to our brave Lad's (and lasses); Food aid and weapons are currently being assembled ready for shipment to Serpent's Hold once the dock area has been secured. Any letter's of support for our brave soldiers will be gratefully received. For King and Country! Long live the King! --------------------------- Rumours Suspected Assasins - Written by Tina Tattle Two suspicious characters were seen lurking around Stonekeep last night. One of them is a self confessed assassin! The Guardsmen questioned them at some length, and came to the conclusion that they were likely there on 'business'. After no more ado, two of the Guardsmen attempted to arrest the assassin and her accomplice, a chase ensued and the Footmen successfully repelled the any possible trouble. So loyal are the Guardsmen they even chased one of the suspects halfway accross Sosaria. Rumour's abound that the intended victim may have been none other than Klion D'Gar! --------------------------- Whatever happened to? Whatever happened to.. Valura and the Outcasts of Eldamar? Witch Valura was once quite a common [if uncommon] sight around the island town of Vesper. Though shrouded in mystery and hidden in the darkest places of Felucca Eldamar itself is rumoured to hold many of the secrets of immortality and longevity. It was from Eldamar also that the infamous Indrazearo stalked the lands of Trammel. Eventually turning over a new leaf and joining Muldran Skully's Shadowcourt. It was to Eldamar also that the mysterious being known simply as "Mirror" was sent by evil green-haired Muldran as some sort of punishment to spend its life imprisoned within Valura's castle of Deceit. Valura, Mirror and the Outcasts of Eldamar have not been seen for many a long year ... any news please send care off the Morning Poste! --------------------------- Personals Quote:

However any posts it links to are purely OOC information, unless you happen to have a good explanation why you would know about them IC.] Today's packed edition of Poste is brought to you by Gretcha Gossip ------------ Kaldorians Kickback! Rebel sympathisers come out victorious! As reported last week, the Loyalists of Sosaria made a very fine and noble stand in getting back land that should belong to the King! After a long and tedious battle they captured the guard tower in Serpants Hold, and gave the Kaldorians a good seeing too aswell. Though in shock news this week, after an attempt to take more of what is theirs, the Kaldorians reminded them that they do infact have some balls and held onto the docklands. How long they will manage to keep ahold of them remains to be seen, but hopefully.. the entire of Serpants Hold will be back with it's rightful owner soon! Long live The King! --------------------------- Rumours Sponge bath Cal to wed? Rumour has it Cal Soulshadow is finally rushing through her divorce.. could this be to do with her toy soldier Kai moving in? Or is there someone else on the horizon? Or are we all mistaken and Mordred has found a woman of his own? --------------------------- An Appeal From a member of the Duchy of Trinsic: Once in a century, someone emerges who is so evil, has murdered so many innocent people, and has so much blood on his hands that the normal laws, made for normal crimes, are totally inadequate. Such a person is Iglata Slyannen, a mass murderer, held in prison by the Duchy of Trinsic but who will be released with only a flogging, enabling him to continue to leave a trail of death and suffering. Indeed, he has made it clear this is exactly what he will do! This is unacceptable. The death penalty is the only punishment that both matches the crimes and that will prevent further mayhem. We who are sworn to the Duchy have to make our voices heard, and demand the setting up of a special Mass-Crimes Tribunal to dispense the only justice that can protect everyone from this lunatic for once and for all. --------------------------- Wanted! ![]() --------------------------- Letters Our mailbox remains empty, no love letters this week, not even hate mail!

![]() | ![]() [The news as contained in this post you can take as IC knowledge. However any posts it links to are purely OOC information, unless you happen to have a good explanation why you would know about them IC.] From the famously buxom Lola Rennt. ------------ Brigand Blood Brawl Ends In Carnage Calls to outlaw heinous sport. Just a few nights ago, a hideous, disgusting, awful event took place. And we're not talking about Callum Fitzhugh's alleged biannual bath. Oh no. The group of social outcasts, misfits, and general pests, the Brigands of the Fort - sick and tired of lying in wait and then jumping out on people, robbing them, and beating them near to death used those evil little brain cells, and organised a competition where the aim was (yes, you've guessed it) to jump out on people, rob them, and beat them to death. The evening began well with little trouble from either hosts or those attending and after many bloody duels Lady Hutula (who has, apparently, reawakened the shadowy cult known as the Spectral Order) walked away with first place and a rather large sum of prize money! But as the evening was drawing to an end members of the Knights Hospitaller, who were apparently looking for the wanted criminal Henry Winter, attempted to arrest one of the female brigands. A skirmish ensued and both sides took losses, but finally the knights were driven out of the gangs lands. Which is, quite frankly, a shame. Your darling reporter isn't one to cry down a good old bash, but when it involves sanctioned attacks? Tsk! ------------ Iglata: Justice unpunished? A report from a freelance journalist reporting from the Elven Quarter Early this week a rumour spread round Trinsic's Elven Quarter that despite the Duchy sitting on a mountain of evidence, witness statements, and threatening letters written by the accused himself, the mass-murderer Iglata Slyannan is not to be put on trial, but released with no more punishment than a flogging. This, it would seem from a reading of the laws of Trinsic is all that can be done even were he to be brought to trial and convicted! The rumour has since spread like wildfire through Trinsic's Elven Quarter and far beyond. It would seem that VanQa's remaining sisters (the ones Iglata has not managed to murder or incapacitate yet) have gone into hiding. Draxandru Rose was certainly not at Wednesday's Free Repairs Hour and has not been seen since. Already there is a small trickle of elves fleeing towards the Trinsic Moongate to safety, though mostly mothers with suckling infants and some aged and infirm hobbling with walking sticks and crutches. Some were heading for Eska'eladlie, others for Heartwood. Gwen Irima, the new leader of the Trinsic Elves since VanQa lies unconscious after Iglata kidnapped and tortured her, struggles gamely on, trying to be understanding of the incomprehensible callousness of the Duchy response. The Silver Warriors stand firm and await developments, and it is likely the Marksmen Regiment do to, as Captain Devante has been a vocal and active supporter of the elves against Iglata. Perhaps there is a conflict of interest here between the Regiment' loyalist duty to follow the Duchy line and Devante's sympathy for his elven neighbours? The absence of any official public statement is becoming less comprehensible with each passing day. Indeed, the silence has become deafening. The latest rumour is that the mass-murderer is to be released on Monday. Will this turn a stream of elven refugees into a flood? There is a growing anger here with wild talk among the hotheads of starting vigilante groups to take the law into their own hands, even of joining the rebels. This is a public relations disaster for the Duchy that looks like paving the way to another murder-spree, and perhaps result in vigilante solutions to the problem that the Duchy is clearly incapable of dealing with. ------------ The Weekend Picture Supplement Darlings, your art-loving reporter happened to catch a glance of a sketch that was anonymously dropped into the Poste's letterbox just last night. Your sceptical reporter is not sure if this is an accurate representation of some sort of event, or if some scurrilous trouble-bucket has just decided to make a load of trouble. However, it seems some idol-worship may be kicking off amongst the men of Trinsic, such as they are. If anyone recognises people who have been depicted in the picture, please write in and let us know... and if we can have the scoop on this strange ritual, we'd love to hear about it. Lola needs worship too! Quote:

![]() | ![]() [The news as contained in this post you can take as IC knowledge. However any posts it links to are purely OOC information, unless you happen to have a good explanation why you would know about them IC.] This edition is brought to you by Helen Hearsay, with love and all things fluffy. ------------ Iglata Battered! …But not yet splattered! Iglata - the daft drow whose utterly undue obsession with VanQa earned him the custody of the otherwise useless Duchy guards - has finally been lashed good and proper. The unsavoury creature was bound to the stocks outside the jail for all to see, after which a not-so-familiar face delivered him a total of forty five lashes – a number far above the average Trinsic guardsman’s familiarity. Apparently unsatisfied with this meagre punishment of a flogging and a lesson in basic mathematics, the crowd jeered and started yelling for the drow to be killed on the spot. The guards overseeing the punishment, however, were surprisingly quick to satisfy their growing hunger of things that make me queasy, and dragged him off to the blacksmiths. At first I, for one, thought they were going to do something imaginative like seal a closed helmet to the wretched drow’s head and allow him to wander into the machete-stowing, torch waving crowd. Alas, imagination is not a quality that the Duchy strives for, and two hot bars were branded to his hands, resulting in much screaming and even more beaming from the relentlessly revengeful rabble. With the self-preservation of a blind lemming, the equally disgusting drow Faeryl then wandered into town, screaming and yelling at the guards in a vain attempt to prove Iglata’s innocence, but even the Duchy guards had the sense to drag her off to jail for investigation. It’s this sort of news - of whippings and beatings - that makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. Sosaria goes Dress-up Daft! Hordes follow Britain’s lead in ridiculous outfits. It was late last night when the first of the wretched halflings came knocking on the Poste Office door with the ultimatum, ‘Trick of treat!’ stressing the ‘treat’ while patting a toffee apple menacingly against the palm of a hand. City kids, these days… Well it seems that everybody else was having a much better time than me, from what I hear from collected reports of parties in both Stonekeep and Valoria. Our brave Yewish boys decided to host a grand festivity, where they spent much time dressing up in adorable little outfits. The winner of the cute little competition that they ran was none other than Elliot Hoskins, who had decided to dress up as Megumi, ex-Sergeant of the Guardsmen Militia. It should be noted with all due noteyness that the ex-Sergeant in question was not threatening others to vote for Hoskins in a bid to make herself seem the scariest. Cruelty and brutality are sworn strangers to the high ranking Guardsmen boys! On the other side of the spectrum, in Valoria, the ground might as well have opened up and devoured the collected crowd of heathens. Kai, revoltingly barbaric maul knight of Kaldor, decided that it would be in good humour to dress up as a rather decadent lady, complete with swanky skirt and kinky boots. As if that weren’t enough, the barbaric scum were reported to have been visited by a large fire-breathing demon who, it turned out, was none other than another Kaldorian scumbag, Eowyn. I really do wonder sometimes whether this land of ‘Gorimdor’ they claim to come from is not in fact a very literal hell hole. [Finally, a guest publication. Thank you for saving my poor tiresome little head from coming out with even more truly professional journalism! - H.H.] Customs and Exise in Chaos Former Poste-Reporter causes furore in Britain Following an in-depth and scathing report published in this week’s edition of “Ye Sosarian Slander” – Britain’s Port Authority finds itself in deep water indeed as former Morning Poste tattle-tale Molly “make-you-or-break-you” Culliton shed a bit more light on the clandestine and underhanded ways of the powers that be in the Loyalist city’s shipping offices.

Trinsic hosts the full-on peace-out. Darlings, it's the time of year for flowers to grow, little birds to sing, and for people to basically love one another (although only after 9pm, behind closed doors, since it's hosted in Trinsic. Dig those local laws!). Yes - the Moot has returned. Following Britain's successful gathering, the Moot has found its home in Trinsic, and will be getting underway from this evening, just after this edition hits the presses. Many activities are planned throughout the week, and the public is asked to keep an eye on notices around various towns to ensure that they can fully partake of the merrymaking. There is, of course, a serious side to the festivities; the understanding of the Moot is that emnities are put aside, so that leaders can discuss important matters to secure co-operation for the coming year (netting lucrative trade and protection contracts in the process) as well as allowing common folk (according to the Duke's notes, that includes reporters) a chance to meet with those they'd not normally share a moment of the day with. It's all in the spirit of friendship - so don't be the one to capsize the boat, pollute the bathwater, wake the baby, or disrupt the metaphor. Things kick off on Sunday with Grand Party at the Meeting Rooms by the park. Entertainment is most assuredly promised! ------------ Kaldorians give Loyalists a bath! An ignoble sea-dunking for the invading forces Your clean reporter absolutely adores bathing; it's something she impresses upon everyone she meets, some more often than others. The dirty bu.... Anyway, it's nice to see that the rose-petal-scented (despite the armor) Commander Soulshadow has taken it on herself to give the so-called loaylists a good scrubbing. The Army of Kaldor were apparently given control by generous but somewhat gullible Royal Commander Jordan Jurrel a couple of years back. Presumeably, he wanted them as far away as possible from the people who were actually Britannian, and these invading forces would be happy elsewhere. Following the Kaldorian's work with the Rebels, the loyalists have seen fit to take it on themselves to eject the Kaldorians from the island of Serpent's Hold, presuming that the Commander was displeased with the Kaldorians assisting the rebels. Well, regardless of Jurrel's thoughts (and believe me, your darling reporter couldn't regard him less, since he hasn't called, hasn't written, etc.) the Kaldorian's kept their feet firmly on the ground, and made the offending offenders less offensive by giving them the push off the island. That'll teach them! Now, if only Commander Soulshadow would bring mandatory washing into the ranks of the Duchy Guard... ------------ The Weekend Picture Supplement Following last week's picture, a new one has been sent to your art-sensitive reporter, who must admit the likenesses are spot on!

Day One.. Sent in by A Freelance Reporter During the first nights festivities Young Erika Twothumb was cornered at her table by no less than ten Covians including their baron looking to carry her off to marry and Breed (their very words) with their Baron. Promiseing Riches and power. The Neice of Baron Kain Twothumb Kept her composure as long as she could. Unfourtunately for the Coveians Newly Arrived Neice of Vespers own Captain Hanse Davion, Lyonya Davion Came To Miss Twothumbs rescue and Sorted them out in short order. With a finnal "Bugger off!" Succeded in a fine display of Vesperian courage and bare honesty. Overheard talking to The Duke of Trinsic Irvyn Middlethorn, The Baron of Vesper Kain Twothumb and former Duke Of Trinsic Ikus Middlethorn Comander Jordan Jurrel Stated clearly that He did not condone The Guardsmen Militia of Yew's Actions. That they acted outside of the Permission or interests of the Throne. Ivan The Cook Went around bringing not only Food but good humor to the guests of the Moot With his jokes and levity. One such joke had Miss Erika Twothumb holding her sides in laughter. (A joke of Dwarves nuns and Penguins I hear) Duke Irvyn, Ikus Middlethorn and Baron Octavious were not the only Men of power at the moot without a lady on their arm. The Baron of Vesper Was wifeless at the festivities. A dissagreement perhaps? An unhappy home? Or could it be as it's been roumored She has been sent off since the invasion? Or maybe even |
