In subject of: Snefru Habashi Ascends to Grand Magnate

_________________________________________________________________________
On a warm, autumn morning Merchant guild criers can be seen and heard walking
the main thoroughfares of Lithmore City announcing to all that a new Grand
Magnate has been chosen and would be speaking to those at the Market Square
outside of the Merchant Guild's Hall at noon.

Come noon and a sizeable crowd has gathered near a large sturdy crate that
has been placed outside of the hall. Snefru Habashi walks out from the Hall
to step up onto the crate and the crowd's noise decreases a bit at the sound
of the crier's bell standing next to the crate. Snefru clears his throat and
addresses the crowd.

"People of Lithmore City, for those of you that do not know me, I am Snefru
Habashi, Chandler and long time member of the Guild of Merchants. I am her
today to personally announce that I have been offered the position of Grand
Magnate, by the Council of Magnates, and I have accepted. Our former Grand
Magnate, Miss Caterina dul Capua, has voluntarily relenquished her office for
reasons unknown to me. The Guild had been well-organized under her
leadership and I hope to be able to continue along her path of growth and
prosperity. I chose to come forward personally and speak to you all to
reassure you that all is well within the Guild and that Commerce, within and
between the duchies, is booming and we, the craftsmen and traders of the
lands, will continue to provide you the highest quality goods and services
that you have come to expect from us." Snefru smiles as he takes a few
moments' pause and surveys the crowd of people who, mostly, continue to
listen.

"To all those that had business with the office of the Grand Magnate,
including those seeking entry to the Guild, I am informing you that I am
available to receive your missives or receive you in person. I wish you all
good health and prosperity." With that, Snefru steps off the crate and walks
back into the hall.

_________________________________________________________________________
'On the eve of Arendas, eleventh of Septembris, a convoy of Phyiscians
arrived into town with wounded from the surrounding hamlets and towns. Many,
bearing the ranks of those who have ascended to Scholarhood, and those whose
talents would best serve teaching apprentices of the Guild.

Among the present, the Prime Medicus has been spotted, wearing wraps of
bandages over her eyes. Tincture and salve are being applied to the affected
area by tasked bloodletters-- So it may be assumed, by the more informed of
the populace, that it is likely a temporary affliction.

The Prime had very little to say, on public matters, only that the situation
in the outer skirts of the Duchy, namely the bordertowns, are beset by rogue
bandits and thieves in far greater quantity than usual. While the town
guards hold fast, the issues within the City wrap its tendrils in
far-reaching consequences.

Affirming the Epion le Serre's beliefs and stances, she has made mention of
saying, "For it is not our place to hold stances on these matters in times of
strife. In the eyes of the Royal Physician's Guild, under the prior Royal
Majesty's formation, we will uphold our Crown-given duties, and not withhold
treatment, no matter one's plot in life, so long as they abide by the
Faith."

She is said to be setting back down into the Madison, and while hindered,
adjusting smoothly.'

(Health has improved slightly, at a cost of economics.)

In the wake of the Madison's Health Faire, those in Lithmore might notice it
doesn't smell quite as bad as it typically does, or that the bar maidens seem
a bit fresher than usual.

There also seems to be a general decrease in the number of individuals
walking about in the rain without a hood on, across all classes.

_________________________________________________________________________
In the late afternoon, there was a lot of buzz at the Hollow Globe. Veilus
Op Tethno, the current Poet Laudate had called for all the Troubadours that
could make it to show up for a meeting. Once there, the atmosphere was
fairly festive. Classical troubadours. The keg of wine left in the communal
helped too. @ Veilus left his office and talked to the group a few at a
time. Finally, with the buzz going about what was going on, he'd be up on
the stage and speak to the group at large.

"As we all know, the Poet Knight Belamy did a lot of good work while he was
here. He helped the Troubadours in their acting as well as acrobatics. I am
grateful to the Bardic Council for selecting him for the position. With that
said, he has contacted me to let me know he is going to Tubori for a bit of a
break as well as to continue to work on mending his leg."

This had a raise in the murmuring between the troubadours. Veilus waited a
moment then raised his hands to get a hush again. "I know. I know. Does
that leave me as lead alone again? No. This is the formal announcement to
one and all. Addiena Op Marama is being appointed as Poet Knight. Please
make sure to congradulate her as well as spread the word." The troubadours
listening would break out in applause, quite a few cheering. Veilus grins
back and waves to them, the assembly dissolving into a general party before
they'd scatter back to their duties.

_________________________________________________________________________
A somberly dressed and well-composed Lady Seneschal appeared in the Chapter
Hall of the Town Hall today, where she spoke to a group of concerned
citizens.

"Good day and thank you for being here," she greeted them formally. "One of
the benefits of the Seneschal's office and the good staff that we employ in
the Town Hall and throughout the Brenlands, is that it enables a degree of
insight into the goings-on in our society, from a broad point of view. We
are well aware of the good actions taken by the many members of our City
Council to better the lot of our city and community, as well as those that
choose not to act. Unfortunately, my chief assistant has informed me of a
growing rise in the number of unknown, shadowy figures attempting to
influence our city for the worse. I believe that this has resulted in the
situation that we have, with the discontent between the classes, the riot and
the terrible murders that came about as a result. While I cannot prove it,
nor can I directly source where these manipulations are coming from, I ask
myself a single question, 'Who benefits from bad blood between the classes?'"

"Clearly it is not in the interest of the Reeves, the gentry or the nobility,
not the merchants, the church or the rest of our good civil society. It is
most certainly not to the benefit of the the vast majority of free men and
women who want for nothing more than to live a life that allows them the
safety and opportunity to provide for their families. Instead, I look to the
cloaked and shadowy figures from Southside that have sought to fan the
flames, to use the disaster of riot and murder to draw people beneath their
banner."

"As Seneschal, I will continue to stand with those that seek to protect the
lives of our people and against those that encourage bloodshed. I thus
applaud the firm stance taken by the good Magistrate Steenson and his fellow
Reeves. It is my stern and sincere pledge to assist with whatever resources
they may need from my Office to pursue these matters and to do their best to
ensure that we do not see the like again- and that if we do, we are prepared
to meet it with resolve. I encourage all good and honest members of our
community to work together to ensure Lithmore returns to her lawful best,
with the mutual respect between classes that has made us the strong and
prosperous realm that we are today. Thank you," she concluded, before
allowing the gathering to disperse.

_________________________________________________________________________
An announcement was passed by the Seneschal's office today:

People of Lithmore,

The quality, condition and usability of our roads, walkways and rivers has
sadly deteriorated in recent times. Our city's chief engineer has presented
to me a schedule of works that will systematically set about repairing
damage, laying down new flagstones, smoothing unpaved paths and dredging
silted parts of the Bren. I have approved this plan and set aside 50 gold
coins from the Council's treasury. This may, unfortunately, have a temporary
negative impact on trade as sections of road are closed to allow our workers
to do their jobs- but in the long run, all will benefit from these works as
they are completed.

Anyone interested in jobs for this project are encouraged to send a letter to
my chief of staff at town hall. (OOC: Mail to CouncilJobs). Potential
available in: Sourcing and delivery, labouring, crew leaders.

Thank you for your time and patience.

"It was awful." Relays a vivacious tavern wench, putting down her glass of
gin - if only for a moment. "It were like there were two of him - two
Lysanders! Well, I thought I must've 'ad me usual amount of Lithmore's
finest and then someone else saw 'em too. Two Lysanders!"

She nods with the veracity of her claim, swirling the gin around in her hand.
"Anyway, one is accusing the other of being a doppelganger, and the other one
is doing the same. Von Vashaak came in with the Lord de Bastion, followed by
the poet Laudate Veilus and some girl I ent never seen before. Niyah or
something? Tubori anyway - so they start cross-examining and looking for a
difference, and-"

Someone walks into the Queen's, making a face at the clay that has worked its
way into the rug. "Oh, mind out. Still bits of him all o'er the place."
Continues the tavern wench.

"Anyway, as I were saying, the Grand Inquisitor comes in. They discovered 'e
'as different colour eyes. Called in Raibald, and Raibald calls it. Says
the blue-eyed bloke is the weird un. Then her 'Oly 'Onour throws mage ash
and they start arrestin' him. Bloke starts melting away, choking, dying.
Nothing but a scarecrow after all!"

She points out the Lysander-shaped figure soaked into the rug with her glass
before draining it and picking up another. "Makes you think..."

_________________________________________________________________________
It was a normal day in the Queen's tavern when Primrose von Tethno walked in
and sat between Primrose von Tethno and her husband Veilus. This, of course,
caused great alarm between the three of them.

After the initial shock of the arrival of the doppelganger (or the original
Primrose, perhaps), there was a short moment in which Veilus picked out his
wife from the two by noticing subtle differences.

The doppelganger lurched forward, ensnaring Primrose in her grasp and putting
a dagger to her throat, which, in turn, caused Primrose to react in surprise.
A blast of shadowy magic, throwing back her attacker, flew from the hostage.
The woman was a mage.

The action had caused a deep gash to open on Primrose's neck as the dagger
sliced across it, dropping her to the ground. The Earl Marshall, being
present, ensured nobody left the scene and took it into her capable hands.
Lord Lorrent de Bastion ensnared the double (who swore her innocence), Squire
von Vashaak secured the witch and Veilus looked on in horror as he saw his
wife being attacked...twice. A short brawl ensued.

Squire Bofaha arrived just in time to handle the growing crowds while Niyah
and Ruprecht wore holes in their clothing in the shape of the chalice.

With Sikod present to see to the wounds, the mage was quickly stabilized and
carried to Ahalin alongside the double (who still swore she was the
original).

Now Primrose von Tethno awaits her pyre in the tower, and nothing more has
been seen or heard of her uncanny double.

Later that day, a knight emerged from the tower, emptying a wheelbarrow of
clay and straw into the river Bren.
