In subject of: A New Year Speech

Rimilde's approval shifts from Disliked to Neutral.

In light of the recent accusations spreading about the Lady Justiciar's
actions, a new voice spoke up in favor of her choices. On the dawn of the
new year, Misune ab Levona, who at one time held the position of Earl
marshall for close to three years, held an impromptu speech in the church
square. Those present stated it went something like this.

"I would like to start by saying I don't expect anyone to truly care about
what I have to say, but it is better to be disgraced for saying what needs
to be said, than to never say it in the first place."

"The Lady Justiciar's actions are within her legal rights as Justiciar of
the realm. Any men and women who wear the scales of justice upon their
cloaks are ultimately under her command, be they near or far. The fact
certain nobles would try to dispute this is utterly disgraceful, for it
shows their true reasons for bringing reeves from their domains to
Lithmore. And it makes me wonder, if they don't want the Justiciar to lead
their reeves, what are they hiding? What did they have planned that
allowing another to properly lead their domain's reeves would get in the
way of?"

"I ask you, citizens of Lithmore to stand behind the Justiciar's choices,
to be confident in her ability to see to the well-being of the people,
which she has done thus far. Don't trust in the conceited interests of the
nobles who would attempt to undermine the Justiciar just because she dares
to do her job, despite it going against the desires of these nobles."

"Afterall, we've lost far too many good leaders because of the actions of
nobles."

What actions will this supposed speech have many wonder? Surely the nobles
won't just sit idly as someone openly opposes them. No matter what the
outcome may be, the immediate results are evident as many riled citezens
take to supporting the Lady Justiciar.

Word around Lithmore is that Sir Rylyn de Cerulio is willing to match
donations made to the Merchants for charitable works during the winter of
366. Whatever you donate, he'll donate the same amount from his own pocket
up to a total of twenty gold pieces. The Knight - much-renowned for his
martial prowess - is even willing to toss in offers of combat lessons to
loosen up purse strings. Want to learn to fight like a Knight? Donate,
and he'll match your sum!

In subject of: A New Poet Laudate is Named

_________________________________________________________________________
Just after the turn of the New Year holiday news came out of the
troubadours: A new Poet Laudate has been named due to the absence of Curos
op Arents! Of course it comes as no surprise that it is Addienna op
Bearsmit, a woman who has served as Poet Knight during their trying times.

A small celebration was held in the Theatre for the woman, and the casks of
warm drink left behind for any who need something to take the bite out of
Winter's chill. It is said there are several things in the works for the
troubadours.

Rimilde's approval shifts from Neutral to Approved.

In the wake of the back and forth about the Justiciar, rumors also filtered
of many closed door meetings between the Regent, The High Steward and
members of the Court and the Justiciar. No one knows precisely what went
on behind the scenes, but when they were all over a statement was issued
from the office of the Regent.

"After careful consideration and meetings between all involved parties, the
Court is happy to say that the concerns have been addressed and the Court
and the nobility stand behind the Lady Justiciar. She has proven to be
very communicative with the Court for her ideas and responsive to any
concerns. Now let us put this matter behind us and work together on the
future, a unified people and Kingdom."

In subject of: Another Burning - Curos op Arents

Late last evening, the church bells sounded, and everyone was called to
River Square. When they arrived, the Grand inquisitor led Curos op Arents
out. His condition was reasonably unharmed.

The Inquisitor gave a short speech, stating that Arents was a mage, but he
was a victim too - and that "when we cleanse, we provide a release". She
gave a chance for op Arents to speak, and he seemed to be almost relieved
that in just a few moments he would be with the Lord of the Springs.

The cleansing went on without incident. The only thing of note is that the
Inquisitor - save for her short speech - seemed extreemly quiet. When it
was done, she ended the gathering by stating the will of the Lord was
done.

In subject of: Day Laborers Assist With Food Stores

_________________________________________________________________________
Day laborers called to the Merchants Guild stores and granaries report
vast stocks of food imported from all over the Urth, packaged and set aside
for the upcoming winter season. Among the laborers, who were tasked with
dividing rations into sections, most report having been instructed to sort
the majority of hardy foodstuffs to the Freeman sectors, prepared for
distribution to Southside and other needy portions of Lithmore. "Don't
think there's much to worry about anymore," one man said, fresh off his
shift at the warehouses, "Enough food in there to feed a couple Duchies,
most of its for us."

_________________________________________________________________________
It is a couple of months into the winter now, and Lithmore has settled
into a sort of routine. Food prices are high and everyone is hungry - but
it's just hungry, not starving. Stockpiling and careful rationing has
ensured that everyone should make it through the winter - everyone who
should have made it through a normal winter, in any case. The worst of the
grumbling seems to come from the quarter of the moderately wealthy - those
not well enough off to have their own private stocks of food, imported
themselves, but still wealthy enough to feel the injustice at the poor
being able to receive just as much as themselves.

With shipments slowed nearly to a stop, most of the bandits have dispersed
as well, finding the pickings too hard. Among those who continue, however,
they seem more organized, working together, and rumors trickle through the
city that someone has been make efforts recently to gather and direct them.

Rimilde's approval shifts from Approved to Neutral.

With the leaking of the minutes of a closed-doors meeting wherein a
concerned and influential resident of Lithmore discussed with several
ranking Reeve officials concerns regarding the Lady Justiciar's
eccentricities (including her strange methods of punishment and propensity
to ramble when confronted with a problem), the Lady Justiciar von
Rievirkrintz's reputation continues to waver.

Despite the Court's official approval, those who have to deal with the
Justiciar's style of law enforcement reportedly find themselves frustrated
and question her education, morality, and the character of those who
support her.

_________________________________________________________________________
Lithmore's Orphanage has recently been reopened at last, allowing the
many dispossessed by its former destruction to find new shelter. Orphans
who had been temporarily staying in all sorts of homes have now been
recalled under one freshly-repaired roof; generous donations, curated by
the Order, paid for a complete rebuilding of the structure from the
foundations up.

By and large, the Orphanage has been rebuilt on an identical floorplan to
before - but there is one difference. The new building bears a plaque
designating it as the Roseren Memorial Orphanage, in honor of the deceased
Cardinal who initiated its reconstruction.

_________________________________________________________________________
In the early morning of Januarious 18th, a new priestess joined the ranks
of the Holy Order of Dav. Zahida Numiya took her vows before the Grand
Inquisitor Zaerieth ab Silverclaw. Those present stated that there was
tension all throughout the vows, not just in those watching the ordeal but
in the two involved as well. Though it is easy to understand where the
tension derived from, for never in the course of history since the Holy
Order of Dav was formed has a Daravi been vowed into priesthood.

Only time will tell how the populace react to this highly unusual decision
of the Grand Inquisitor's.
