_________________________________________________________________________
Notice was put up by palace officials that the until-recently vacant
position of Royal Chamberlain has been filled. The appointee, styled
Mistress Ofelia von Hartsong, is a relative newcomer at Court, brought on
by the former High Steward, Lady Margaux le Rousselle to serve in her
office. One of the most recent graduates of the Royal University, the
young Vandago City native has been rumoured by more than one Courtier to
have had her sights set on the position, following the organisation of a
successful white hart hunt in the autumn and her hand in the planning of
other events in the service of the Realm.

_________________________________________________________________________
On the seventh day of Maritus, word spread through the Knights that Earl
Marshall Misune ab Levona stepped down from the position of Earl Marshall.
This came as a surprise to a fair amount as there was no prior warning,
especially given him holding the position for the last year.

When asked about his reasons for stepping down, Sir ab Levona had this to
say

"Every man has his limits, and we must learn to acknowledge our limits. I
have reached my limits, and instead of allowing the Knights Lithmorran to
stagnate because of those limitations, I would rather vacate the position
in hopes that someone else may take it up and do something great which I
myself could not."

The question on many minds is naturally who will take up the position next,
and if, in the words of Sir ab Levona, can do great things where he failed
to.

Following his ascent into the position of Grand Inquisitor, His Holy
Honour, Dazen le Riorn elevated then High Inquisitor, Beorhtmund ab Gladnor
to the position of Archbishop of Lithmore. It is said that much wasn't
said by him either, besides a comment on how he would be present for when
His Holy Honour adresses everyone and made a request stating that those who
wish to speak to him come seek him in the cathedral. This statement was
released by the Holy Order of King Dav.

_________________________________________________________________________
With the recent departure of Sir Misune ab Levona from the post of Earl
Marshall the Grand Masters from the five Duchies within the Kingdom have
recently met and submitted a vote to elevate one from within the Knights to
the position of Earl Marshall.

Several names were brought forth for consideration, however all left the
voting body divided and without a majority vote. Eventually the name
Tamarion ab Keswick was brought forth for consideration and after much
deliberation a vote was taken, with the majority voting in the affirmative
for that candidate.

Needless to say that the recent elevation of Miss Tamarion ab Keswick to
the position of Earl Marshall has come as a complete shock and surprise to
many, and reportedly most of all to her.

In subject of: A Grand Master for the Knights Lithmorran

Expires : Sat Sep 1 08:45:28 2018

_________________________________________________________________________
When the Grand Masters of the Duchies met to consider who would be
elevated to the role of Earl Marshal of the Knights Lithmorran, the
Vavardian Master wondered about the efficacy of one name, an Alara Rovar, a
Knight now of nine year's service after distinguishing herself a perilious
mercenary against Charali warbands at the eastern edge of his Duchy.
Nicknamed 'the Storm' by the Chevaliers and Guardsmen she fought beside for
her ferocity in trying to avenge the death of her parents to Charali iron,
she came to be known as 'the Rock' in the aftermath of her joining the
Order as a Squire and quickly proving herself a full Knight. She's a
reputation for calmness in the face of danger, both of body and of soul,
and is a devout Traditionalist Davite. She seemed a different woman
entirely after she dedicated her life away from revenge and to the Lord of
Springs, but ultimately her past history and refusal of Gentry Rights upon
being granted the Knightly Sword took her out of the conversation at an
early stage.

In the aftermath of the surprising promotion of Tamarion ab Keswick, the
Council that they should also appoint the Grand Master to the newly-made
Leader, offering a final touch of say in the affairs of the Capitol City.
When Alara's name was once again brought up for this, it was considered to
be a perfect counterpoint to the Earl Marshal: here was a woman who had
served as a Knight for some time, was well-travelled across Vandago and
Vavard, and a known quality amongst her peers. Given news of her
appointment, it's said she didn't even bat

Word has made the circuit that after completing her Journeywoman project
alongside then-Laudate Kato Ernst, Yrata op Terpo took her Oath as a
full-privileged Troubadour and was then made Poet Laudate of the guild
proper. When approached, she made mention of her thankfulness for the
opportunity to help guide and serve the Guild that has shown her so many
opportunities since coming to Lithmore, and that her driving goals for the
Troubadours is to continue revitalizing the Guild as well as the Arts as a
whole across Lithmore.

A brief announcement by House Kovar of Rosewood:

Lord Gaven and Lady Emma ab Kovar are pleased to announce the birth of
their first child Jaridan, born at Rosewood Estate in Lithmore capitol on
Aprilis the 16th. The little Lord is healthy, with on-hand physicians
remarking specifically as to his robustness. The Lady Seneschal has not
been seen since the delivery, contributing to rumors that the diminutive
Baroness did not survive; contrarily, Lord Gaven has made clear that while
Lady Emma has greatly suffered, she is expected to recover.

Lord Jaridan is first in line to the Barony of Rosewood, only child of the
High Steward and Lady Seneschal.

_________________________________________________________________________
Word has come in that the former High Steward and current diplomat to the
Tubori court, Margaux le Rousselle is returning to Lithmore and has already
passed through Vandago and the county of Lothos. Speculation has it that
she is visiting to celebrate the recent birth of her nephew, Lord Jaridan
ab Kovar of Rosewood. Opposed to her former practice of travelling with
family, this time she is said to be alone except for servants and guards-
no doubt wary after numerous threats upon the life of her children when she
was last in Lithmore.

_________________________________________________________________________
A contigent of Farin Inquisitors, Knights and priests has just arrived
in Lithmore, supposedly summoned by the Grand Inquisitor Dazen le Riorn to
deal with the Farin Foreign Quarter's lingering problems.

The group is led by one Inquisitor Alabaster, previously sent by Farin's
Cardinal Lilith de Poniard to deal with the Daravi refugees accepted into
Lithmore in the wake of the Kingdom's retreat from Edessa.

Inquisitor Alabaster offered the following statement:

"We are pleased and honored to be given this opportunity to aid our people
in their time of need. Whatever curse still haunts the Farin Foreign
Quarter, we will defeat it. Those with relevant information are directed
to contact me at the earliest possible opportunity. Thank you."

(OOC: To interact with Inquisitor Alabaster or the Farin contigent, please
contact Takta via personal board; to take actions toward the disposition of
the Farin Foreign Quarter, prepare a plot advance.)
