In subject of: Grand Magnate Fairweather Takes Ill

_________________________________________________________________________
Galen Fairweather, the Grand Magnate of the Merchants Guild of Lithmore,
has recently taken ill and is now bedridden - the cause is suspected to be
a mundane illness exacerbated by stress. He is expected to make a full
recovery, on the condition that he drastically reduces his workload and
takes an extended period of rest. As the Guild cannot go that long without
leadership, and the Grand Magnate has no appointed second or successor, he
has decided to vacate the position and allow the Guild to choose another to
replace him.
Though he will be retiring in his leadership role, Galen Fairweather will
remain with the Guild in the rank of Craftsman (insisting that he'll need
to properly earn Master status like anyone else) and remain on hand to
provide counsel to whoever takes his place.
An unorthodox choice for a Grand Magnate, the freeman Galen Fairweather was
hand-selected as Lady Emma ab Kovar's successor. Despite the hardships
posed by his lack of experience, connections, and resources, he served for
several years and was considerably well-liked as a leader. His tenure as
Grand Magnate was marked by a focus on charity and maintaining good
relationships with the other guilds of the realm.

_________________________________________________________________________
A fortnight into the month of Augustus and once more the call for Poet
Laudate has been sung. Miss op Bearsmit resigned from her seat once more,
and according to her for good this time. In recent years the Lithmorran sect
of Troubadours has struggled with members, and leadership. There are many
reasons that this could be, but it is believed that bringing in someone new
may help to spark interest.
The desires for a thriving guild will hopefully once again become a reality.

After Addienna op Bearsmit's decision to vacate the leadership position of
Poet Laudate within the Troubadours, many wondered what would become of the
floundering bardic group. But in the late Augustus night, a new, young face
to the Troubadours, Romeo Cassionourte, known by some for his eccentric and
unruly behaviour, took up the reins to lead the small cadre of bards and
usher in, as he calls it, "An era of performance!" .

_________________________________________________________________________
Out of the northernmost province of Vavard comes the news that the Countess
of Hevstina, the Lady Farra dul Baildana, has recently celebrated her wedding
to the Lord Anatoly von Oppask of Ikihel's recently-ennobled ruling family.
Assuming the name of his betrothed, Lord Anatoly Oppask dul Baildana
reportedly cut quite the figure as he presented the Lady a cloak of golden
silk mantled with rubies and accepted a glass of wine as per the custom of
Vavard; the couple then exchanged rings as an admission of the Vandagan
tradition before signing their contracts. The ensuing celebration is rumored
to have been quite tame by Vavardi standards, perhaps as a concession to the
large delegation of Vandagans present from Ikihel or related to the Church's
presence, which was said to have been a bit more involved than was typical.
The ceremony was, notably, held only two and a half months after the initial
posting of Banns in Lithmore City.

[Morale has shifted up from Good to Good.]
There was a brief, but loud clamour of unrest on the morning of Septembris
2nd, when a small, but unruly crowd of Lithmorran denizens - apparently aided
by equally disgruntled guards - invested Ahalin Tower to remove the still
living zealots imprisoned within its confines and put them swiftly to the
blade, torch and other assorted bladed-and-blunt instruments. As quickly as
the troubles started - fed, some say, by the words of the individual who met
the High Steward on the East Road to deliver to her the disembodied head of
her dead husband - the crowd dispersed to the winds and left behind it
black-clad bodies in varying degrees of bloodiness.
It is said that tensions run high, especially with the announcement that a
newly come inquisitor was being sought out by the Flame - some even saying
that the man in question had been recently confronted in front of all at the
Queen's Inn, causing a brawl.
At any rate, the populace has spoken in response to the threatened sack, and
if the number of rowdy songs being sung all around the city's commons are
anything to go by, Lithmorrans feel quite ready to give as good as they have
been getting.

_________________________________________________________________________
A stone-faced and black-clad High Steward presented a document to the Royal
Heralds this morning, regarding the death of her husband the Baron and the
succession of the title. The following was read from the Lithmorran
Crossroads, as well as at the Ducal Court of Tubor and the steps of the
baronial house in Widerran Town, Crestley.
"It is our unfortunate duty to inform the realm, that we can confirm the
death of Ferled le Rousselle, Baron of Crestley for the past forty nine
years. Ferled le Rousselle has been a credit to the people of Crestley
throughout his life and as a young man he served the former Duchess of Tubor
as her Chief Admiral. He was the bane of many a pirate. He will be sorely
missed by his wife Margaux and their three daughters; Charee, Arabella and
Voletta. May the Lord of the Springs bless his name and give him the peace
in death that he richly deserved and that was denied to him by the nature of
his untimely demise."
"As per the last will and testament of the Lord Baron, succession will flow
from him to his eldest daughter Charee, with his wife Margaux to sit as
Baronial regent until such time as Charee attains her majority. The people
of Crestley are encouraged to welcome Baroness Charee II le Rousselle of
Crestley, may she reign with longevity and wisdom."
However, matters are reportedly tense in Crestley, with the younger brother
and bastard son of the late baron reportedly holed up in the Barony's hill
fortress of Amery with word suggesting that they have yet to acknowledge Lady
Charee. Lady Charee, who is eight years of age, along with her younger
sister Arabella, are presently in Widerran under the protection and guidance
of the family's longtime retainers, Castellan Simone le Blu-Ideri and Steward
Merochio le Grennus.

_________________________________________________________________________
It has been a couple of months since the Hawking Festival of the Court, but
there's one single man who's still being affected by that very day, Court
Servant Raymond Karnon. After a hawking incident, he was sent to the
hospital because the wounds he had were not cleaned and they complicated in
dramatic fashion. To make things worse, he had not seen a physician for a
few weeks and the corruption of his wounds developed a terrible infection
that eventually led to him going into a week-long comma. Either an
arrangement of unlucky events or simply an oddity of medicine, Lord le Orban
managed to wrangle the situation into control and made a series of daring
interventions that eventually saved the man, but he was still being
recovered, the rumors claim.
In a sudden turn of events, he was seen staggeringly rampaging out of the
hospital, asking people to get away from him, and then he was never seen
again. Lady Chamberlain has offered a prize of up to one gold coin to he who
reports his whereabouts and brings him to her, as well as lesser but
considerable prizes for just any hints that might lead to his finding,
stating that the man is still ill.
Court Servants have been murmuring about how irresponsible the decision of
the young servant is, and how he was never truly embraced with big wit; he
couldn't even throw a bird, after all.
The question is: Where is Raymond Karnon?

Two years ago during a tepid eve in the 367th Sun Cycle, a man mamed Gabriel ab
Dainton was murdered inside his own shop in the Market Sector where he sold
furniture and decoration for the nobility and the gentry. The way of the murder
and those responsible for it were never found. The shop was known for its wood
crafts and decorations, perfect for the bedchambers and living rooms.
Two years after the shop closed, the cousin of Gabriel, Dalren ab Dainton has
arrived to continue Gabriel's life work and the shop is soon to open, as it is
rumored in the taverns of Lithmore. However, a recent announcement in Octobris
has put many of the merchants and creative minds to work. Dalren is searching
for the 'most breath-taking designs of chests and bookshelves inspired by the
year's happenings or anything recent.' This competition has not only been
reserved to merchants, but anyone who can offer a drawing of a chest can
participate for free and earn a generous prize of 250 silver (from a total of
1,000 silver to be awarded for four designs). Crafting the object is not needed.
Those interested can send a missive with their drawings to Mister Dalren ab Dainton.
One is not reserved to one drawing, but one can draw as many drawings.
