_________________________________________________________________________
A new declaration filtered from the palace as Yule came to a close from
the office of the Regent and was filtered out across the lands, bearing
both his official seal and that of her Majesty the Queen.
There have been concerns of confusion brought to the Crown about the nature
of household knights and personal noble militia's, how they are to be
treated and if they are with the Knights Lithmorran. To be clear,
household militia's and 'house knights' as they have been commonly referred
to are not members of the Knights Lithmorran. While many are former
members of the august organization, they are not now and do not represent
them.
In order to help with this confusion, Her Majesty the Queen and the Lord
Regent have discussed the matter and settled on a new term that shall
henceforth be used. The term of Chevalier will be how all noble household
militia and personal guards shall be referred. This term encompasses
their standing household guard and personal bodyguards.
We hope this will help to alleviate confusion in the future and make
members of the Knigths Lithmorran more easily recognizable in the future.
(OOC: I spoke with staff recently on the confusion and the general policy
that I've been told is that Noble guard npc's are going to be referred to
as Chevalier's as referring to them as knights implies their membership in
the Knights Lithmorran and the NPC guards shouldn't be made to be a part of
someone elses guild. Staff has said that they will restring the NPC
bodyguards and house guards that are labeled as Knights to become
Chevalier's for free.)

_________________________________________________________________________
The rumors surrounding the Order's offer to sponsor the Dolphin's
30-some currently employed courtesans for trade apprenticeships have turned
out to be true. After taking some time to work out the details, the Grand
Magnate signed off on the Order's proposal, splitting the associated costs
and emptying the Dolphin overnight - no doubt to be refilled just as
quickly by a new crop of young women looking for opportunities. "I
understand that this does little to nothing to alleviate the desperate
situation these girls and countless others found themselves in," Grand
Magnate Galen Fairweather assured, "But I want to assure everyone that
fighting against the devastating effects of systemic poverty is going to be
a priority for the Merchants Guild as long as it's under my leadership." He
went on to explain that he was already in talks with the Order about more
sustainable efforts, and that he found the Regent amenable, though formal
discussion with Court on the matter has yet to take place.
"While I'm glad that we've had the opportunity to help make a difference in
these girls' lives, I know that it's going to take more than charty, no
matter how generous and frequent, to fight against the conditions that
drive people to take desperate measures just to get by," the Grand Magnate
concluded - whether they are more honeyed words and empty promises from the
rich, or a sincere pledge from the Grand Magnate who once worked among the
commoners he speaks of, only time will tell.
As for the details of the transition - everything seems to be going
smoothly. Thanks to the efforts of trade master Aios Draiski of the
Lithmore Laborer's Coalition, certainly no stranger to helping the poor and
less fortunate find meaningful work, the girls have all found themselves
well-equipped to handle their new trades. The contributions of the
Dolphin's manager, Miss Felix Winters, has not gone ignored, either.
"I do want to thank Miss Felix, and all of those like her, for trying to
make the best of her bad situation and doing what she could to do right by
the girls in her care," the Grand Magnate added, somewhat peculiarly. "I
understand why people like her are quick to assume that we don't care for
their plight. I hope that I can show that we do - through actions, rather
than just words. It may take time, time that I understand not everyone
has, but I promise I'll do my best to do right by all of you, just as you
strive to do right by each other."
Reportedly, most of the now-former courtesans will be starting new careers
as jewelers, with some seamstresses and perfumers thrown into the mix -
though there will also be one blacksmith and one brewer.

_________________________________________________________________________
Faye's approval shifts from Approved to Ousted.
Dissatisfaction both outside and within the Order runs high as Grand
Inquisitor Faye Ab Moreland's reign as the leader of the holiest of guilds
continues in an unchecked chain of misstep after incompetent misstep. From
the constant security lapses, to her inability to connect with other guild
leaders as is necessary for the city to work as a cohesive whole, to her
fall back, hands off approach to reviews, Grand Inquisitor Moreland has
proven only that she will gladly sit in the seat of a leader without
leading at all. Her unawareness of cases with which she has been involved,
her confusion of the smallest details serves only to weaken the Order that
must, by its very nature, stand strong in order to guide and counsel those
it has sworn to lead.
In response to these egregious oversights by a leader who should know
better, the Order's Inquisitors call for Her Holy Honor Faye Ab Moreland to
step down as Grand Inquisitor or face a vote of no confidence. This
statement, this call, has been drawn up and released by we, the members of
the Holy Inquisition. The Order must. Not. Fall.

Early on the morning of Januarius 26, 368, a notice was posted by the
Holy Order, announcing the promotion of Inquisitor Dazen Le Riorn into the
recently vacated office of Grand Inquisitor. Hailing from the isle of
Tubor, where he has spent the last thirteen years in the position of High
Inquisitor, the church is confident in his ability to guide the Order with
competence, compassion and a mind for change. His Holy Honor has neglected
to say much in this release, save to inform the good people of Lithmore
that a more formal introduction will be offered in the near future, where
he will address everyone face-to-face, rather than solely through this
impersonal medium. May the Lord bless and guide him as he seeks to guide
us all. This statement formally released by the Holy Order of King Dav.
