It had been in the mouth of the citizens of Lithmore; Inquisitor Benicio ab
Masson, celebrated for his captures and achievements on the topic of exorcism
and magical investigations, had been staying at the capitol and not due to
unexpected posting or voluntary furlough. Some said he had finally chosen a
place to stay. For almost one decade, he had never settled in one place and
had traveled around from duchy to duchy to offer his service everywhere --
though the rumors never failed to abound about the unorthodox methods he used
to solve his cases, some colleagues even labeling him of pitilessness and
ruthlessness. After his recent investigations on Archmage Edhard le
Archambault and the capture of him at the hands of the knight, his promotion
was announced.
Benicio ab Masson has decided to stay in the duchy to serve as both the
Archbishop of Lithmore and the High Inquisitor after showing extensive
knowledge and experience. On his part, His Eminence has not made public
announcement yet and has mostly been silent, another matter of murmur in the
taverns of Lithmore. Everyone is expectant to see what the next step is for
the famed Archbishop.

A statement has been released from the
Palace that the young queen means to
solicit designs for her coronation.
Sketches will be accepted separately
for a ceremonial outfit and for the
royal crown. The queen reportedly
wishes something that respects the
history from which she comes and
celebrates the new start which her
ascension denotes.
In the spirit of contest, each of the
selected designs will be rewarded and
lauded, and, if a craftsman's designs
are selected, he will have the first
chance at its creation, along with the
expected compensation for such.
Contributions should be received before
the start of June to allow time for the
items to be created.
OOC: Mail submissions to Temi by June 26.
Temi - If you want to get these in, do it by end of day today!-

Maius 30, 370: the River Square was met by Archbishop Benicio ab Masson and
Gretel Leaflock and the latter was burned for heretical charges. "This woman
claimed that sin takes a second place before the Lord when one's trying to
preach his word!" The man preached. "Is the murderer then pardoned for all
his crimes if he whispers a prayer at night? Isn't that the position of the
confessing father, to offer penance, what ever it might be? She claimed she
could out-rule her station, that she had the right to become a priestess by
her own right and device, and, above all, called our church a heretic one."

Expires : Wed Mar 27 12:18:01 2019
To : all
_________________________________________________________________________
A warrant has been issued for the arrest of the former Reeve known as Vaxin
Caorn. Caorn is a mage responsible for the deaths of many, including Miss
Riannan dul Cross and, more recently, Mr Jullius Salisbury. He has been
known to consort with demons and may be able to change his appearance. It is
currently believed he resides outside of the city and is luring victims there
before attacking them.
Please report any suspicious or unknown notes or mail you receive to the
Reeves or Knights. If you are in possession of any information regarding
Caorn, we urge you to make yourself known so that he may be captured and
cease killing and harming innocents. Do not approach or engage Caorn under
any circumstances, he is a powerful mage who will not hesitate to kill. The
greatest help which can be given by the public is the sharing of any
information - as insignificant as it may seem - and donation in support of
the Order's activities. If at all possible, he should only be engaged in the
presence and in support of a Knight Lithmorran.
Please remain safe and vigilant when travelling outside of the City of
Lithmore or in Southside, where he has been known to strike.

In subject of: A Mass - The Power of Speech
Date : Mon Jul 4 12:41:45 2016
Expires : Sat Mar 30 12:42:08 2019
To : all
_________________________________________________________________________
A Mass was performed at St. Aelwyn's on June the 19th by Father Cosimo dul
Favero, focusing on the power of speech.
Father dul Favero announced himself recently returned from a mission trip to
the Plains as introduction to the Mass, then spoke on the concept of speech
as the union of thought and deed both, a powerful tool that all possess to
influence the world around them. The congregation, at his prompting,
provided examples of powerful speech that had left lasting marks upon them.
He continued with discussion of the importance of using speech as a good
work, such as correcting one's neighbor when they err in matters of religion
or morality or in reporting a sinner or mage to the Order for their own good.
A discussion on the danger of secrets followed, though few parishioners
seemed inclined to take up the Father's charge to rid themselves of their
secrets to him in confession afterward.
The Father then touched on speech as purity, the other pillar of the faith,
and the importance of avoiding harmful, cruel gossip. The state of current
scuttlebutt about town was loosely alluded to in his comments, as he told the
congregation to instead address their issues with others directly and with
kind language, rather than to stain their souls with rumor. He requested a
pledge from the congregation to only speak truthfully and in gentle words
when faced with gossip; this pledge was met with more alacrity than the last,
many notables among the crowd seeming to swear allegiance.
When asked if he would enforce this pledge during the passing of the cups,
Father dul Favero had this to say:
"I cannot know what you do when you leave this place, of course. I cannot
prevent anyone from swearing in a false heart, and then breaking their vow.
And, of course, even if someone swears a vow in all earnest they may violate
it in a moment of weakness.
I hope that a vow made in sincerity will be its own enforcement, that anyone
who has promised to be kind and truthful will come to confess their failure
of their own accord. But, if it need be said, I will not seek you down and
demand you be held to account. I will only remind you all that nothing feels
better than forgiveness.
That said, to withhold truths from the Inquisition, when they relate to
magic or heresy, -is- heresy itself. That is a different matter. Those who
admit such secrets will be given penance and released from their guilt, and
treated far, far more gently than those whose secrets must be taken from
them."

In subject of: White Flame Leader Executed

Expires : Thu Apr 4 09:45:23 2019

_________________________________________________________________________
Since the fall of the White Flame at The Battle of Crescent Lake, the few
survivors have steadily been processed and executed for treason by the Crown.
Early in Quintilis, the executions reached their conclusion when the
excommunicated and treasonous noble Cymbria ab Maier was escorted from Ahalin
and presented to the people by His Grace Tomas ab Jinosa and Magistrate
Brynieve de Versin ab Jinosa.
His Grace addressed the crowd briefly, stating, "The treasonous and heretical
White Flame is dead. Though the wounds of their insurrection shall linger,
we will move on and grow. Cymbria Maier lead their forces, but any who would
sympathize with them, any who would think to imitate them and bring the
horrors of their perverted non justice to the people and faithful of our
Kingdom; I say this: Don't. Don't even try it. Our faith unifies us and
keeps us strong. We will endure and prevail."
With that his Grace signaled Magistrate de Versin who organized the process
of tying each of Cymbria ab Maier's limbs to a length of rope attached to a
horse. The horses were subsequently ordered to move in four different
directions, violently and brutally tearing the fallen priestess apart. The
head was then removed from the remains and mounted above Ahalin Tower in
River Square. The remaining pieces were sent to the four corners of the
Kingdom as a warning against acts of treason.
