Though he had not held the office long, turmoil in the city has caused
Seneschal Sauvaige dul Betencourt to be relieved of that position. Though a
number stood up for the difficulty of the situation the Lord was placed into,
others claimed that he has done nothing visible in the months he has held the
office. Whether or not the way in which Betencourt gained the position, the
defacto winner when his adversary was executed by the Order, played a role,
it has become clear that he cannot speak for the majority of the populace.
The Queen has called for a new Senechal for her city.

_________________________________________________________________________
The southside chapel was full with an ending mass when a large, armoured
beast arrived, drawn by the tolling of the bell. Its custom-made glowing
armour, bearing the marks of the red hand, clinked and scraped as it paced
down the aisle, settling to a stop among the congregation amidst shrieks and
screams.

The creature spoke, a mixture of old and natural sounds - like ancient
glacial ice and the sharp tearing of fir trees from the ground in a storm -
coming unnaturally from the enormous bear. "Be calm," It said to the
congregation, who were either making for the door or readying arms, "I have
been sent for one reason and one alone."

The young acolyte Cerise Desiree stood frozen at the front of the chapel,
still holding out the chalice of holy water.

"Cerise... Your attempts to bring a new pyre and spread a type of Davism to
the south in counteraction to your church are charming, but you have no
protection here from your knights or the Reeves. The Brotherhood you've
teamed with are few and sparse. Here you are alone and viciously under
protected, and the Rubeus Manus will not stand to see a new expansion. Go
home to the protection of your big Cathedral and the safety of the north and
keep your Davism there."

A stirring in the bear's shadow revealed it to be an entirely separate
entity. A living shadow. The shadow leapt forth and pressed itself into
Cerise, causing her features to become sickly and cold.

"You'll recover in a few days." The bear said as the woman recoiled, before
it lumbered away. "Plenty of time to think on your alliance with the
Brotherhood." There was a soft clink...clink...clink...of armour as it moved
away unhurriedly down the aisle and out of the doors, pausing only to
exchange glances with the congregation.

Speculation is rife with the potential meanings of this visit, but one thing
is certain - an increase of church services was not welcomed by the guild of
mages.

In subject of: Lady dul Baildana Announces Her Bid
Date : Tue Nov 14 10:29:47 2017
Expires : Sun Aug 9 11:29:55 2020

_________________________________________________________________________
On a chilly Septembris morning, the Lady Farra dul Baildana announced her
intention to campaign for the Seneschal seat left open by the recent ousting
of Lord Sauvaige dul Betencourt. Recently returned to the city after an
extended stay in Hevstina, where she reigns as the titled Countess, the
diminuative but supposedly authoritative noblewoman addressed a small
gathering at Paarin Park.

"In the light of the recent troubles plaguing both the city of Lithmore and
the Seneschal position, I feel that it is necessary for the health and hope
of the citizens of the capital that a proven leader take the responsibilities
and burdens of the head of the council. While I have great respect and a
healthy relationship with Laudate op Tethno as a Liaison with the Troubadours,
I worry that an unchallenged bid for the seat would ill-prepare any Gentryman
for the difficulties of governance."

The Countess went on to praise both the current Laudate and the Poet Knight
for what she says is a healthy and growing culture in which the arts of
music, dance, and storytelling can flourish, but she stopped short of
outright stating that she thought the Laudate would serve as a capable
Seneschal.

"Many issues plague our shared city and the greater kingdom which surrounds
it. The challenges of a sprawling city which serves as a ripe target for the
wicked influences of the corrupted mage as well as the greedy alliances of
the shadowy Brotherhood are numerous and the solutions complicated," she
continued, setting what will be sure to be her primary targets for the
upcoming campaign. "Those who might promise quick and easy fixes to these
troubles name themselves liars and nothing but peddlers feeding off the very
real fears these very threats induce."

"I can promise only this: that I would serve as Seneschal with the same
tenacity by which I live. That I will allow neither fear nor sloth to govern
me, and that I would bring the thirteen years that I have had the singular
honor, privledge, and weighty burden of governing the peoples of Hevstina
with me to the role. We should, all of us, be given reason to believe in our
leaders. And I will show the pious men and women of Lithmore why it is that
the bold men and women of Hevstina so believe in me. Thank you."

_________________________________________________________________________
Durning a Septembris afternoon, Veilus Op Tethno was seen talking to people at the crossroads. The questions of course being asked of him about his bid for Sensechal and word about the Countess' bid.

"I have a lot of respect for the Countess. She is a staunch supporter of the Troubadours and I have seen her to be very level headed when dealing with other situations. I agree with her in that the Capital has a lot of troubles and trying to offer simple solutions will do no one any good. Much like with the Troubadours, I've stepped up to offer my capabilities to help the Capital. I am doing a job that needs to be done. I will fully support the Countess if she wins and I can but ask the same in return if I do."

The Poet Laudate was happy to answer further questions, willing to listen to people and what grievances they wished to be brought up. "I know that people have brought up the fact that I have had the misfortune of mages hiding within my life. I understand personally what it means to be fooled by mages. I've always been a staunch supporter of the Order and I am always more than willing to listen to those who show wisedom in their words for assistance. In the end? I do my confessions like anyone else. I give my best that I can for those I work for. This has been the Troubadours and now I am offering it for the Capital."

_________________________________________________________________________
Copies of the Grand Inquisitor Arlow von Lorven's summary and clarification
on recent events were posted, for those not available to attend in person:

"Our first matter was a Review of faith for the Acolyte, Sister Cerise. We
acted quickly, and for her safety. Given our last Acolyte was a heretic, and
all the mages that have tained the Order in recent memory, we didn't want her
faith questioned. She spent several days in Ahalin, and I conducted the
Review. It's my strong belief after concluding my time with her in Ahalin,
that she is the unfortunate target of a mage, but nothing more. She has
since returned to the Cathedral, where she will continue her studies."

"Secondly, Prisca Connor and Evani le Tavari were arrested, in tandem with a
noble. After examining an absurd amount of evidence, and taking confession,
the two women were released, with penance. Evani le Tavari took a noble as a
lover, and also took Prisca. Evani le Tavari was lashed ten times for her
sins of fornication and acedia, and ordered to wear a pin for an undetermined
amount of time. Should anybody see her without this pin in obvious display,
which labels her as a fornicater, the mark will be made permanent. Prisca
Connor was lashed five times for her relationship with Evani, and her
unwillingness to confess. Her sins were less severe, and she was quick to
repent. The two fornicated without proper blessing, and neglected to confess
until they were arrested."

"Finally, I'll take a moment to address the rumors of warrants being posted
for a nobleman, and those concerning our most recent prisoner. It is true,
we arrested Bertrand le Pajari, a tubori Baron. The warrant was issued
rightfully by the Grand Inquisitor, and a search of his estate led to
confirming our suspicions of taint and making the act public. As soon as it
was made public, the Baron was arrested by the Knights. Expect to meet at
River Square again soon."

_________________________________________________________________________
Following the controversy of a noble being arrested by the Knights, Baron
Bertrand le Pajari was brought from Ahalin to River Square.

During this attempt to pyre the man, a large armored bear disrupted, giving
the Baron a chance to escape through some artifact. And escape he did. The
Baron made his way free of the Square, but only briefly, as a patrol of
Knights quickly apprehended him. In the meantime, the remaining Knights
engaged the bear, and felled it.

As the bear died, Baron Bertrand le Pajari was brought once more to the
pyre.
"Baron le Pajari has long been in Lithmore, a notable member of the Council
for some time. We found reports and evidence during ongoing investigations
into recent magical activity. This suggested that Bertrand was a mage, and
described his capabilities quite vividly. Upon finding this, we searched his
house under a warrant issued by myself. In his estate, we found further
artifacts of the magical variety, and several damning letters."

"These letters were sent to the Baron's account, and further addressed him by
Amun, the mage alias we found earlier in our evidence. Further, more letters
addressed to Bertrand also referred to him as the Rubeus Manus. We believe
Bertrand was the Rubeus, but is no longer."

"Now, we bring this mage to the pyre, and we pray that his soul may yet meet
with the Lord. If there is any doubt that the Order is here to hunt mages,
not work alongside them, you only need remember the scene that took place
today, where the current Rubeus tried to save the former Rubeus from escaping
the flame."

With that, Bertrand was brought to the pyre, and the fire was lit.

_________________________________________________________________________
A Consequential Influence Event

At the Crossroads, the Lord Earl Marshall of the Knights Lithmorran stops his
steed, staring down at the crowds before two Knights beside him clap swords
against shields for attention. After a brief pause for silence, Lorrent de
Bastion speaks out.

"Im not here to debate Veilus op Tethnos worth of character. I know the good
things he has done. I know his unfortunate tendency to be influenced by
tainted and demon-worshippers, as well, but that is how evil works. It is
insidious, and none are guilty through merely being deceived.

However, there is good and evil. White and black. Faithful and heretic. I
cannot stand by and also fulfill my oaths and vows of honour and truth, to
hunt maleficarum wherever they may be, while a man runs for Seneschal who
would rather pay mages not to bother him than work with the Order to bring
them to the pyre. Veilus op Tethno, I have heard the rumors and read the
letters written by the woman that you proposed to, Vicannia le Serre, that
claim you freely told her of your payments to the Rubeus Manus for
protection. Thus I charge you to turn yourself into the Inquisition for
Review, for treating with mages, for funding witchcraft with the coin of the
Troubadours, to either clear your name or expose your sins. Further, I
publicly ask the Inquisition to pursue this matter, and find out who else is
funding heretical cabals of evil, under our very noses.

Rest assured, when warrants are issued, the Knights Lithmorran will find you
all."

With that, the Marquis of Bastion picks up his reins, putting spur to horse
and heading back north to the Keep.
