Today's Poste is brought to you by Gretcha Gossip


------------

Looking for love!
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:
Tall, dark and handsome male, with emerald green eyes and a devious smile, seeks woman for good times, friendship and maybe more!
Looks not important.
Age range: 18-40
Must be intellectual, but have a fun side aswell.
Elfs and drow need not apply.
Now, being a single woman myself I was quite entrigued by this letter, which also turned out to be adressed to the poste office and merely slipped into the wrong box.. I decided to do some research on this gentleman!
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.

Again, if you're interested, please send me your contact details.

[OOC:This is supposed to be for some fun, think of it as a blind date. If you want to take part please send a PM to Ye Morning Poste with your contact details, ta!/OOC]

Rumours

From an un-named informant
Rumours have been coming in that the drow known as Vierna was spotted yesterday eve hanging around near the mountains between Skara Brae and Yew, (the territory of Brigands of the Fort), along with the Trinsic Rogue (Tom Blackwood). They seemed to be holding some kind of meeting with that scum Henry Winter, said our informer, though what was actually being said could not be heard. What does this mean? Will there be some kind of new crime wave involving more than one criminal organisation, only time will tell..

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!

Yewish boxing game
They really can't keep the peace, can they?

Lady's and Gents although invited to the Yewish boxing they were such brutes that they not only ruined the event but they also took Commander Cal and Kai captive! According to my sources after breaking free Kai was in his worse for wears with a cut and bruised neck. Poor thing, lets just hope Command Cal keeps her 'bodyguard' safe now.

Rumours

According to my sources the Covians have now recruited a guardsmen who has Orcish blood! Hes hideously ugly, nevertheless its a good weapon against Cove's many enemys.

Dear Poste

I don't know what sort of inbred hick ye found to write yesterday's article on the Marksman's invasion of Serpent's Hold, but they are obviously lacking in education.
Firstly, it's Kaldorian, not Khaldorian.
Second, I do not understand the reference to "wytches". Last I looked, there were no green-faced, pointy-hatted women riding around on broomsticks or stirring cauldrons in the army.
We do have a couple of sorcerers in the ranks, as do the Britannia Guards and most of the other armed forces around this wretched continent. But no witches.
Thirdly, Serpent's Hold was bequeathed to the Army of Kaldor by Commander Jordan Jurrel of the Royal Britannian Guard. If the foolish Marksmen and their braindead sidekicks, the Britannia Guards, really want to piss off Jurrel and the ruling council, they are going about it the right way.
I advise them to leave now, or face our wrath.

Regards

Cdr. Cal Soulshadow
Army of Kaldor

Quote:
Your Grace
Following an increase in crimes of a serious nature since the laws were last revised the following is proposed as a further revision. This revision not only instates a Death Penalty for the most serious crimes but also introduces a system whereby offenders considered to be dangerous to the citizens of the Duchy are Branded. This is proposed so that all may witness their shame and lack of honor at committing such despicable acts and also to make those that deal with them aware and so protect others from their future actions.
The crime of Kidnapping has been reclassified as a serious offence and the crime of Brawling, where both sides are equally at fault is to be included in the minor offences. The crime of Torturing is to be added to the more serious offences.
The revisions as enclosed were drawn up after a meeting attended by myself, Reann Justice of Trinsic and Kaelyn, Sergeant of the Duchy Guard. It is proposed that these changes be made at the earliest possible time.

*signed*
Moiraine
Baroness of Trinsic

Quote:
Revisions made October

Crimes of a more serious nature:-

*Where the accused freely confesses or pleads Guilty of his or her crimes, once a report has been filed with all necessary information, they should be referred to the The Justiciar or in their absence The Duke or Baron for appropriate sentencing.

*Those that commit such crimes will be considered a danger to the safety or security of the community and required to be viewed by all as such.

Dear Gretcha Gossip,

Regarding your article 'Repulsive rebels attack farmers! Then lie to cover their behinds..' well isn't that the biggest load of tosh I've ever heard. It is true what it says in the poster, I know, as I made it and infact I posed as the 'Southern Loyalist Front's' leader Aaron Charad. The group was made by me as a project and let me just say the project was successful.
No one was 'killed' when getting the uniforms, infact I had one of the Covian craftsmen make all the parts so again that was a lot of pish posh and hogwash. Any problems with this you can find me in cove.

For the North! For COVE!

Short of Staff! Printers Walkout!

A rumoured threat from notorious bandit un-named has caused us to lose staff and so today's edition is very limited.

Today some of Britannia's greatest detectives gathered to solve a mock murder, staged by the brilliant University minds.

This exercise started at the university itself, where the "murder" had been committed. Interviewing a couple of the university staff revealed that a book had been stolen. The book was entitled "Chivalry Trials". This led the detectives to Luna in search of a squire that was about to go through one of his knightly trials. In Luna, an informant gave them a physical description and motive of the murderer. He also said they might be able to get more information from a Umbra Guardian stationed at Umbra's east bridge. The guardian remembered the man they described to him and told them he had traveled to the east. Several footprints along the way led to a forest infested with Trolls, Elementals, Undead, Reapers and many other beasts. There was a tower in the center of the forest and in that tower was the culprit. The "crime" was solved.

The instructors were very knowledgable and the detectives had to use all the tools available to them; Motive, searching for clues, and interviewing of witness/suspects. A good exercise for all.

Yew Also hosts a Murder Mystery Night

This reporter heard tell of this but has no current news on it - please write in and tell us about it!

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!

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:
You see a sketch of open grassland and in the background you see a dark wood slowly rising.
In front of the wood you see a figure posing proudly on a tree stump. The woman seems to be young and attractive with leather armour covering her. Only thing unusual about her are her catlike ears and her catlike tail.
On her head you can see a golden crown with lots of jewels, but still you see her ears perk up above it.
She has her hands lifted as if giving her praise to her subjects.

Besides the woman on the treestump is a big wolf that stands close to her seems to protect her.

In front of her you can see lots of people bowing down as if worshipping her.
Many seem to be dressed with kilts and greenish metal armour. And really if you look close you can make out the features of several familiar faces amongst the armoured troops, and some other prominent men from Trinsic*

Quote:
Dear Miss Rennt,

I fear your freelance reporter has failed to understand Trinsic justice, or indeed Justice itself. Iglata's guilt in the matters of kidnapping and torturing VanQa is indeed beyond doubt, and for those he is being punished accordingly. A trial is unnecessary, given the weight of evidence, which is rightly pointed out.

However, in the matter of the murders of which he is accused, there is no evidence, nor witnesses, in fact nothing on which to base either trial or punishment. Therefore, after his punishment for torture and kidnapping, he will be released.

Whatever the weight of probability may be, he cannot be convicted and punished solely on the basis that people find it desirable. To do so would invalidate the entire concept of Justice, which, I would remind your readers, is the Virtue compounded of the Principles of Truth and Love in equal measure. Matters of faith are debatable, but to claim in the context of Justice that the Truth is what one wants it to be, regardless of any evidence, is not acceptable.

Irvyn Middlethorn
Duke of Trinsic

Quote:
Dear Editor

There has been a lot of complaining around the Iglata affair about the Duchy laws being too lax, and calls to bring back the rope. I am shocked and saddened. I must say, as a strong supporter of the abolition of the death sentence - that appalling barbaric punishment that we fought so hard to be rid of - these rabid cries want to take us back to the dark ages. Whatever next? The guillotine? Trial by Ordeal? The Rack? Hanging, drawing and quartering? Rows of heads displayed over the Westgate?

What has happened to Compassion? Where is the voice of those who believe in the Virtues?

No, I say! Keep Trinsic's laws as they are. People like Iglata should be rehabilitated, taught the error of their ways by kind instruction and prayer, brought to see the light and reformed by good example.

Father Von'Sah

Quote:
Dear Editor,

I was appalled to hear that the monster Iglata actually scoffed at the guard who dealt out the flogging administered to him last night. He clearly has every intention of continuing his reign of terror against the elves in general and what is left of the family of VanQa in particular. How can the Duke of Trinsic let loose such a monster on his declared targets?

The Trinsic laws are a disgrace, far too lenient! Take a leaf out of Vesper Town's law on murder, where the accused have to prove their innocence, not the other way around, and where the punishment for conviction is death.

Will Grabbett, Solicitor and citizen of Trinsic

Quote:
Editor,

Is it true that in Trinsic a mass-murderer is only going to be given a thrashing for his crimes and then released? I've heard some brigand gangs have this as a punishment. Though the Duchy version is even less of an ordeal than that, as I believe brigands continue the punishment until the offender is knocked unconscious. This news of Trinsic's leniant laws will certainly be read with keen interest by many.

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.

Quote:

“…the paper-trail leading back as far as the governing coffers of our ‘great city’ displays nothing less than a despicable display of dastardly dealings and outright piracy being practised on a daily basis by those who are supposed to be upholding the laws of the land, but evidently consider themselves to be above it. The self-lining of pockets amongst Port Authority Officials at the expense of the common hard-working sea-farers and fisherfolk of our fair oceans may be keeping the upper-crusts in jam, but it’s high tide and higher time that the public knows what side its bread is buttered! Deputy Vice Officer Boon of the British Ports Authority - a man perhaps better known for his fondness of dressing in women’s attire as well as numerous rumours of behind-doors-activities with the silver-tongued leader of a certain group of marksmen and his “nothing-wrong-with-grown-men-cuddling” Kaldorian Beau (starts with an “M” ends in an “Ordred”) faces resignation after his recent skimming of percentages being taken alarmingly higher than those specifically set out in government charters for import and export duties. Mild-mannered shipping captain Wes Roberts, currently of Trinsic found himself at the mercy of the vile Boon and his wicked Ports Authority henchmen following the transport of a shipment of cabbages. Apparently, instead of being charged at the legal rate of 8% for the vegetable shipment, there was an oh-so-frequent-these-days clerical error that led to the Captain of the Indomitable not only on the business-end of a 30% export duty, but also facing the ridiculous accusation and subsequent attempts of blackmail- that he was trading not in leafy-green-goodness but in nightshade! What next? A tax on Yewian farmers for producing potatoes the Port Authority decides are Moonfire brew? An offences-against-the-state-tax for law-abiding Vesperian publicans for selling milk during the week?…”
Although maverick reporter Moll may have rustled enough feathers down Britain-way to have found herself in ‘protective custody’ for two nights at His Majesty’s hospitality, interrogation and chastisement produced nothing more for British officials than more written proof than was wanted, several red-faces at Britain Docks, and this weeks resignation of Vice Officer Boon. We tracked down our former gossip-hound earlier today and asked her if she had plans to make similar investigations in any other taxes and tariffs areas, perhaps those in Vesper or Trinsic? According to Molly we can “Bet her bony behind on it!!” – Customs Officials on the take, you have been warned!!

Rumour..(s)


The well known nutter, Thaur, has been making rash claims that he is responsible for the murder of trashbag Tammy of the hideous Vesper Trading Company. Much as we’d all love to hear this is true, his sanity was put into question when spotted by a truly reliable source having an in-depth conversation with none other than the senseless ‘Cecul,’ leaving him with the words, ‘You’re the only guy that understands me, Cecil.’ The poor thing…

Annual Moot Starts Today!
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!

Quote:
You see a sketch of building that looks remotely like the Trinsic jail an uncluttered street. Along the wall of the jail you can see several people sketched and as you look closer you may make out the figures of Kaelyn, Natalie, Shelly, Cecil who all seem to laugh at a figure that is running in front of them.
The figure running on front of them is a woman in sandals, a long skirt, a leather bustier and a skullcap on her head. Her hair is long and flowing behind her which suggests that she is running quickly.
The most prominent features about the woman running are her long pointy ears and her tail, which seems to be smoking and the reason why she is running around so frantically. She is trying desperately to put out her smouldering tail with both of her hands while running.

If you look very closely you can notice that one figure that looks like Reann is holding a torch in one of her hands and on her face you can see a more than amused smile.

Trinsic Moot!
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
