In subject of: The High Synod Appoints a New Earl Marshall
Date : Sun May 21 20:46:10 2017
Expires : Fri Feb 14 19:46:21 2020
To : all
_________________________________________________________________________
Earlier today, the High Synod announced that the Baron of Maides, Zhar ab
Arianrhod, will be taking upon the duties and responsibilities of the Earl
Marshall. The man in question gave a speech before an audience almost as if
he was just passing through, as he didn't even bother to dismount his
destrier.

"Merick ab Ironwall is dead. An unfortunate eye for an eye from a Manus that
is losing this war. I am not Merick. I have neither the compassion nor the
patience for his gentle way of doing things. Remain on the righteous path,
Davites. A nail that sticks out will be hammered back in. Lord bless."

In the aftermath of the speech many questions were raised but unanswered.
There are even concerns about martial law and capital punishments.

Council Schedule:

Council will now hold a triannual City Council meeting, to which all members
of Council are invited. The City Council is defined as; every titled member
of the nobility resident in Lithmore City, the primary and secondary leader
of every legal guild and the Queen's appointed Seneschal. These meetings are
closed, but members of the community are entitled to attend by request or
invitation of the Seneschal. Council members may send an official proxy in
their place if they are unable to attend. The meetings will cover discussion
of current city events/crisises, upcoming events, discussion around funding
and opportunities for collaboration between Council members.

Also on a triannual basis, interspersed between regular Council meetings, the
Seneschal will host a community consultation to discuss Council and city
matters with interested residents of Lithmore City, in an open format. These
events will start with a briefing of recent events, upcoming projects and a
summation of the most recent Council meeting, after which the floor will be
opened for questions, comments and requests.

Community Grants:

Lithmore City will set aside a portion of the money provided by the Crown to
provide for community services, activities and events. Any interested member
of the Lithmorran community can submit a request for funding, either on a
one-off basis for projects and events or an on-going basis for continued
services. The council will discuss these initiatives to assist the Seneschal
in determining priorities for the city and community. The members of
Council are also welcome to put forward funding requests.

Current Grants:

Reeves, for the provision of security in the city of Lithmore. Coin is used
to assist with staffing costs, including wages, training and some equipment.
Ongoing.

Council Employees:

In conjunction with the grants program, Council will also allot some coin to
the ongoing payment of staff. Projected ongoing staffing needs; an aide for
the Seneschal, employees charged with the ongoing maintenance of the city

university, etc), cleaning of streets and the river.

Upcoming Projects:

1) Lithmore is seeking a diligent person to undertake a thorough accounting
of all public/Crown buildings, land and amenities in the city and surrounds.
This piece of work will be used to determine appropriate staffing levels for
future and ongoing city maintenance.

2) Lithmore is seeking an experienced architect and/or engineer to evaluate
the city hall's current facilities and make recommendations for if they meet
the needs of the city, and what could be added. This piece of work will
determine future construction projects as well as the order of future
furniture and fittings.

3) Further council initiatives to be released at the first council meeting.

_________________________________________________________________________
Word has come from Her Royal Majesty's entourage that a gown has been
selected for her upcoming nuptials. Described as "unusually colorful," the
gown caught Her Royal Majesty's eye almost immediately, and was selected from
a handful of other designs without much debate. The tailor -- a Miss
Caterina dul Decapua of Vavard, presently living in Lithmore City and heading
the Guild of Merchants -- is said to have received a letter from Her Royal
Majesty's Lady in Waiting, providing compensation and extending the order for
the gown's production.

_________________________________________________________________________
Gathering all the Penitant within River Square, High Inquisitor had this to
say about the victim of the latest burning:

"Brothers, Sisters, and all who come in Faith:

We come together today to see to the Burning of Detlan de Dale : A fellow
Inquisitor of mine, brought low by errant words and actions, all heretical
and terrible. Detlan was brought in to Ahalin, at first, for the wonton
attack of a civilian, and brought to the attention of us all of supposed
corruption and heresy within the very Order itself : I had thought him to
have evidence of this, or some lead that could be very well followed. By his
own admission, however, Dale was speaking without proof, and without reason.
The only corruption within the Order, it would seem, were his own actions.

And so, let that be the byword of the day : Vigilance. Corruption, heresy -
it can take us all. Every one. Without the vigilance of Faith, or the
attentiveness of the mind, one can fall into the very same pit that Citizen
de Dale has fallen into. Lord bless all who have come, and remeber to stay
Vigilant in all that you do."

With that, the burning started in earnest.

Lord Amir dul Ansari, Queen Caitrin's older half-brother, has released a
grudging statement that there have been issues discovered in some of the
shipments for Her Majesty's Royal Wedding. He did not provide further
explanation of the why or how, but has stated that several items will need to
be sourced locally at the last minute, and he hopes that the city of Lithmore
will come through.

Bounties are being offered for several items for food and drink, for decor
and to properly outfit a small honor guard.

In subject of: Impediments to Royal Marriage
Date : Fri May 26 22:31:57 2017
Expires : Wed Feb 19 21:32:05 2020
To : all
_________________________________________________________________________
With the royal nuptials imminently looming and preparations well under way, a
single voice has spoken out in protest. A lowly Farin priest has only
recently arrived in the city and leveled the serious claim that the groom is
already married and thus cannot marry the Queen.

The priest, who calls himself Father Jacinto Belmonte, explains that he
married the young Lord Rogelio de Montford and the Lady Zoraida Maritza de
Levdis, the third daughter of the Baron of Levdis, in secret two years ago,
shortly before the Coronation of Queen Caitrin when the pair were called
north from Farin to attend. Since that time, the Lady Zoraida has been
serving as a lady in waiting in Her Majesty's court. As such, the Father
suggests that the royal wedding cannot be allowed to continue.

The presumptive Royal Consort is denying the claims, stating that they are
untrue and he remains unmarried. He would not, however, speak against the
Lady Zoraida, and the city is left reeling as it searches for the truth and
wonders what should be done.

_________________________________________________________________________
In the wake of accusations about the presumptive Royal Consort's eligibility
for marriage, a new alarm has risen in Queen Caitrin's Court. The Lady
Zoraida Maritza de Levdis, the Lord de Montford's supposed secret bride, has
been reported missing. She has not been seen in the week since the Farin
priest raised his concerns, failing to attend to her duties as one of the
young Queen's ladies in waiting. Whispers around the court have started to
speculate if the woman has fled or if foul play might be involved.

_________________________________________________________________________
A gambit against the Earl Marshall, whilst not successful enough to bring its
promises to fruition, was at least successful enough to erode confidence in
Lord Zhar ab Arianrhod's authority. Rumors abound that the Grand Masters are
meeting to select their new leader.

In subject of: Announcements from the Grand Magnate
Date : Thu Jun 1 12:21:41 2017
Expires : Tue Feb 25 11:22:32 2020
To : all
_________________________________________________________________________
On that cold Decembris morning, several announcements were released from the office of the Grand Magnate to be posted about the city. For those who could not read the announcements for themselves, a few criers read such aloud at various key intersections throughout the capital.

-=Greetings from the Grand Magnate=-
The Grand Magnate hopes these announcements find you all well and in good health. Should any questions or concerns arise from the information contained herein, she bids you write to her or contact her through other means. Her office is always open for those who might wish to speak with her.

-=A Reminder on Selling Policies=-
The Grand Magnate wishes to remind the city at large that only members of the Guild of Merchants or those who have purchased a license to sell from her office are allowed to sell or trade merchandise of any sort within Lithmore.

Anyone caught selling or trading who is not a member of the Guild of Merchants or does not bear a license to sell will be instructed to cease at once. Anyone who refuses to comply will be reported to the Reeves. Though the Grand Magnate cannot speak for the Reeves and whether or not they would act upon such a report, she can speak for her own office. In addition to being reported to the Reeves, anyone who refuses to comply with the aforementioned selling policy will be banned from all commerce within Lithmore.

The Grand Magnate bids any who wish to sell or trade within the city to seek entry into her guild. Induction is not guaranteed, but any who apply will be considered.

-=Licenses to Sell=-
In addition to the above announcement, the Grand Magnate wishes to inform the city that no further licenses to sell - that which allows non-merchants to sell and trade within the city - will be distributed at this time.

She apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause, but she wishes to reassure the citizens of the capital that those already bearing proper licenses from previous Grand Magnates will see those licenses honored. She invites you to come and speak with her if you have any questions or concerns on this decision. And, as ever, she invites those who wish to sell or trade within the city to seek entry into the Guild of Merchants.

-=Festivities within Lithmore City=-
It is with great pleasure that the Grand Magnate announces an alliance between the Guild of Merchants, the Troubadours, and the office of the Lady Seneschal - an alliance which has been formed with the sole purpose to bring more events to the capital in order to help the people better celebrate the various festivals and holidays of the kingdom.

She hopes you all enjoyed the events which were offered during Magebane. She bids any and all citizens who might have ideas for future festivities to contact either herself or the Poet Laudate with their thoughts as they would be happy to hear them.

-=The New Function Room in the Trade Hall=-

In line with the above announcement, the Grand Magnate wishes to announce that she has reoutfitted the old Stewart Meeting Room within the Merchant's Trade Hall, transforming it into a function room which is open for the public's use in hosting events for the city.

She apologizes if this has caused any upset by those who feel the memory of the late Cardinal von Stewart was disrespected by this change, but she wishes to reassure everyone that - whereas no such memorial existed within the room's previous incarnation as a merchant meeting room - a plaque bearing the details of the room's dedication to the late Cardinal has been installed in a place of prominence so that future generations may know of the room's significance.
@
Should anyone wish to host an event for the city within the newly renamed Crystal Chamber, she bids you write to her. Though there will be no fee for the use of the chamber, a letter detailing the proposed event will allow the Grand Magnate the opportunity to inform you if the space is available on your chosen date. It will also give her the chance to potentially offer you assistance - as she is able - in the pursuit of your chosen festivities.

-=In Conclusion=-
The Grand Magnate, once again, wishes to invite any and all to contact her should they have questions or concerns in regards to any of the announcements contained herein. She bids you all to enjoy the rest of your day and she wishes you a Happy Yule in advance.

Lord Bless.

To : all
_________________________________________________________________________
As the Yule holidays began an announcement was made by the holy order. An
announcement about the election of yet another new Earl Marshall, but this
time she was travelling all the way from Vavard.

The announcement was made by one of Lithmore's Bishops and was as follows:

"After a lot of deliberation between the Grand Masters of the order a new
Earl Marshall has been elected. The current Grandmaster of Vavard Arielle le
Kekoa has been chosen to rise to the position of Earl Marshall and lead the
Knights Lithmorran in these troubling times. She has always possessed a
great drive and determination for her duty. We wish her the best of luck in
her new position."
