New has emerged from the Keep of the Knights Lithmorran. It would
appear that the unprecedented ascension of Tamarion ab Keswick may have
been a touch much for her - or for her fellow Knights - depending on who
one listens to. Although what little news has trickled out is being spoken
of only lowly, it would appear that the young Earl Marshall has stepped
down and left the place vacant once more. For the nonce, the Keep will be
led by recently appointed Grand Master Alara Rovar. There has not yet been
talk of any official replacement.

_________________________________________________________________________
A proclamation bearing the seal of Her Holiness, Agnes ab Amundelle, the
Matriarch of the High Order, has been nailed in multiple copies to highly
prominent posts and on each of the community boards:
"On this morning, the day of Arendas, the 21st of Maius, SC 368, the Holy
Synod met to discuss matters of import. Noting recent troubles with
cooperation, funding, and the concerning action of Inquisitors personally
involving themselves in the direct seizure of warranted individuals, the
High Synod sought the will of the Lord of the Springs. From this day
forward, it is recognized:
- The Holy Order is financially responsible for the well-being of the
Knights Lithmorran.
- The Office of the Inquisition has the exclusive right to issue
warrants for all ecclesiastical crimes, to conduct Reviews of
Faith, and to deliver the judgment of the Lord of the Springs.
- The Knights Lithmorran has the exclusive right to arrest
those warranted for all ecclesiastical crimes, or to interrupt
a crime of magery in progress to make an ecclesiastical arrest
where the public safety is at risk.
- Both holy sects are charged to work closely together, including
providing open access to one another to include information,
private libraries, and communal areas.
- The Lord of the Springs forbids any Knights from also acting in
the capacity of an Inquisitor, or vice versa, as these powers
are separated by intent.
As the Lord of the Springs wills, so it shall be."-

_________________________________________________________________________
In the evening of the 21st of Maius, not long after a public
announcement of the rejoined affirmation of support of the Holy Order and
its Knights, three bodies were cleansed of the taint of Magery. Two men,
named Redchigh and Akatar, were burned whilst still alive, though both were
visibly marred by injuries those present to witness assumed were from the
Knights who had arrested them. The body of the third, Mikhael Hulae, was
burned after life had departed him in the struggle that accompanied his
arrest. Rumors circulated of the Grand Master's, the recently-arrived
Alara Rovar's, involvement at the head of those who made the arrests,
grappling with the unrepentant sorcery of the mages at each stop.
In the aftermath of the cleansings, and in light of Alara Rovar's recent
publicity both in these matters and with the whipping of the branded
heretic Zaerieth Silverclaw, the Council of Grand Masters, with the
blessings of the Order's matriarch, raised the middle-aged Vandagan woman
to the rank of Earl Marshal.

In subject of: Zaerieth ab Silverclaw Pays Penance for her Crimes
Date : Sun Dec 20 16:59:15 2015
Expires : Fri Sep 14 17:59:32 2018

_________________________________________________________________________
At dawn on Maius the 21, the bells sounded, summoning all to River
Square to witness the Lord's mercy. Upon arriving, crowds were greeted
with the sight of former Grand Inquisitor/Inquisitor, Zaerieth ab
Silverclaw, in chains.
After being bound to the whipping post, fighting the whole while, Grand
Inquisitor Dazen le Riorn turned and addressed the crowd.
"Zaerieth Silverclaw stands before you this morning to pay penance for her
crimes against the Lord of the Springs and the church. She is charged with
heresy due to her actions, the murder of her unborn child via chainbreaker,
the betrayal of her holy oath of chastity, fornication without blessing and
impurity due to her continual lies. Due to these crimes, she has been
removed from the Holy Order, will receive a heretic's brand, will receive
twenty-five lashes and will be cleansed of her sin in the River Bren."
Pausing, the Grand Inquisitor allowed his words to sink in. Reactions
stemmed from grim confirmation to downright shock, and it was not long
before the number in the square far exceeded that seen during most other
penances. After a long moment, the Grand Inquisitor continued grimly.
"These claims have been proven true, and I stand before you today to prove
to all of you that no one, not even our own, are exempt from the Lord's
laws."
Rather than accept her penance with a repentant heart, Silverclaw fought to
the last her efforts culminated in a vicious strike to the kneecaps and
several Knights ordered by the Grand Inquisitor to hold her down, despite
her being bound to a post.
Once subdued, Zaerieth Silverclaw was branded a heretic. In a surprising
diversion from the norm, when it came time to whip the heretic, Earl
Marshall (then Grand Master) Alara Rover requested the Knights be permitted
to wield the whip. Appearing taken aback by the unconventional request,
the Grand Inquisitor paused only a moment before granting it, extending the
whip with the following words.
"We work as one to do the Lord's will and to uphold the Lord's laws.
Please, impart this penance with my blessing."
Twenty-five lashes were laid upon the back of Zaerieth Silverclaw, after
which she was cleansed of her sin in the River Bren.
May the Lord bless and guide her, that she may never stray so far from his
laws again.

In subject of: Coffee in the Farin Quarter
Date : Tue Dec 22 00:13:00 2015
Expires : Sun Sep 16 01:13:00 2018
To : all
_________________________________________________________________________
In late Aprilis, a group of Lithmorran citizens trooped into the Farin
Foreign Quarter for a day of coffee and conversation with those brave few
still living in the damaged area. The intent behind the project was to
renew discussion on fixing the damage in the quarter - physicial, social
and spiritual - left in the wake of the dark curse cleared roughly two
years prior.
Between donators and volunteers, the project included everyone from
Southsiders to nobility, with guildleaders and other well-known figures
working alongside curious passersby; the 4, 000 silver raised for the event
was enough to purchase coffee, tea and fruit to serve up to 800 people in a
quarter that likely boasted no more than 2, 000 before the Endless Night
descended.
The group's reception in the quarter was initially lukewarm and many who
may have heard of the event later probably heard more about the lightning
strike that injured Lady Brynieve than about the refreshments, music,
dancing or the careful first forays into organizing a next step.
Nevertheless, the event concluded with tenants and volunteers parting ways,
exhausted but cautiously optimistic.
Between news of the Farin religious contingent's arrival in the city and
quiet rumors of other individuals leading projects of their own, hopes for
finally restoring the quarter remain modest, but they do remain.

This morning the Reeves hauled a Farin man out from Ahalin Prison, and
escorted him to the gallows. To the onlookers at River Square it was
announced: "Jubar Hakar is guilty of Attempted Murder, Assault of a Reeve,
Trespass, Stalking, Harassment, and Fraud. Given these crimes were
committed while the city of Lithmore was under siege by demonic forces, and
His Grace the Regent's Order that all crimes committed during the crisis
receive their maximum sentence was in effect, as well as given his past
violent criminal record; Jubar Hakar is sentenced to hang by the neck until
dead." Without much further ado, the trap door was opened, and the
convicted met his end, swinging by the neck from his noose.

In subject of: Let's fix the Dancing Hall!
Date : Mon Jan 4 22:57:06 2016
Expires : Sat Sep 29 23:57:06 2018
To : all
_________________________________________________________________________
Despite the outpouring of aid for the Farin refugees in the wake of the
disaster that befell the Farin foreign quarter long ago, much of the
district remains in ruin. As the Inquisition investigates the area to rout
out the lingering diabolical influence in the area, much of the
infrastructure repair has been yet left undone, if only because the Quarter
is so depopulated that many of the ruined buildings would be abandoned
anyway.
The Farin Quarter's Dancing Hall, however, is a recent exception to the
general disrepair of the quarter, at least now - seemingly almost
overnight, it has been restored to its former glory, paid for by the
coffers of the Merchants Guild. The Grand Magnate, Galen Fairweather, who
had visited the Farin Quarter recently (on the same night that the
Magistrate Lady Brynieve de Versin was struck by lightning), reportedly
ordered the restoration personally.
"I know that, in the long run, fixing this one building doesn't do much,"
he admitted with his characteristic humility. "There's much more work to
be done - such as the Inquisition's important work cleansing the Quarter of
its remaining taint - which is going to require a lot more organization.
The extent of the damage will need to be surveyed, the costs tallied, funds
raised... It will likely be years before the Farin Quarter is back to its
former glory. But I figured that, at least, the Merchants could do this
right now, with the funds we have. I know that it isn't much, but please
consider it a gesture of support. To all the people who are lending their
efforts to the restoration of the Farin Quarter - Inquisitor Alabaster and
company, Miss Rain Reed and Miss Leila Durani, the Lithmore Labor
Coalition, and countless others - I want it to be clear that you all have
my support, and with it, the support of the Merchants Guild of Lithmore."
The dance hall was restored to how it was before the disaster, with no
marker of the Merchants' involvement in its restoration, save for a notice
posted relaying the Grand Magnate's message.
