Today’s Edition is brought to you by Amber “The Wicked Witch” De’Crowley Feluccia Caravan Carnage Murderers Galore But No Match For Manly Militia!
Apparently the Guardsmen Militia have been at it again, defending the lands I mean! I hear they marched on Feluccia a few weeks back and aided a very risky caravan that had to brave the trials of the Feluccia facet! As you can see from the sketch below many a murderer leapt on the caravan from the wilds but were beaten back time and time again but the ever diligent Militia!

Vesper Make Peace With The Drow! Historic Agreement Reached
I met Vierna Hun’ett, the leader of the Drow, at a secret location. I don’t mind saying that I felt a little apprehensive knowing the reputation of her kind. But it’s this intrepid reporter’s job to go into danger in search for the truth, so with fast beating heart off I went.
When I arrived at the location, which I was requested not to reveal, she was there waiting to greet me. I had never seen her before and was slightly taken aback at her clearly exotic beauty. She was dressed all in black with a hint of red here and there, blood red I should stress. She looked stunning no doubt about that but her eyes, they shone a deep violet colour but they looked ice cold and emotionless. There was no warmth or love in her and I began to feel a little uncomfortable. She appeared to be alone but I had this gut feeling I was being watched.
With no great show of welcome just the salutation “Vendui’”, she handed me a copy of a document. It was a simple, short, document declaring that Vesper was sorry for its crimes against her people. From now on Vesper would welcome drow. I asked her how this came about and this is what she told me.
“Van Cocidius, the Baron of Vesper contacted me expressing a wish to put matters right between my people and Vesper. So I invited him here to discuss matters. The document, which I showed you, he had drawn up in anticipation of our reaching an agreement. The Baron was extremely apologetic and felt it was time to put matters right. He felt as Baron it was his responsibility and that any reparations should be his to shoulder. As leader of Vesper he would accept willingly any punishment on behalf of his people. He said the crimes against drow were reprehensible and inexcusable and blamed the bigotry and ignorance of previous barons for allowing matters to get out of hand. He also hinted that Yew had influenced their stance. He was different he said and would not tolerate racial discrimination.
I must admit I was somewhat taken aback by his frank and honest admission and actually admired his courage. That is extremely rare in a male. So I accepted his admission in good grace and co-signed the document. Afterwards he left happy and in good spirits”
Well. Quite a turn-around from Vesper, if, that is, this is all true! Considering i've heard rumours that the Baron was in fact kindapped i do have my doubts! But let’s hope relations between the two peoples grow stronger and make this world a better place. As I left she said to me that if I saw the Baron to tell him to take very good care of his wife and unborn child. Later when I got home I suddenly realised there was something chilling in the way she said that. It sent an icy shiver down this reporter’s spine I can tell you!

Rumours
Word on the street is the the Von Richter’s are back in Cove! Does this mean the return of the Baron? More to come!
Watch those money pouches folks; I hear the Brigands are up to their old ways again. Don’t wander the street late at night for heavens sake!
Seems someone’s been leaving nasty notes around the elven quarter again. Better put a stop to it whoever you are lest you get found out! Tut, tut!
Orcs have been attacking Trinsic so I hear, nasty things they are! Apparently they have some necromancers helping them too.! One wonders if this shadow being caste over Britannia in recent weeks will ever be lifted!

Letters
To whom it may concern
I wish to dispel the rumours regarding my husband, Baron Van Cocidius. Despite his previous disposition and reputation, he has remained faithful to me and me alone.
I do not deny him platonic friendships with either men or women. He was in the company of Amarante of Buccs Den, the companion of his best friend Jackyl. I assure you, the Baron has not had time to carry out nefarious liaisons, and, should he ever stray, I am perfectly capable of dealing with this issue without the aid of gossip mongering.
We are expecting our first child and the stress of these rumours is not healthy for either mother or fetus.
Sincerely,
Baroness Madeline Warmbow-Van Cocidius
From the editor:
There, there dear, denial is such a terrible thing. Men are such dogs aren’t they. Just remember there’s always a shoulder for you to cry on here at the poste! ----------------------------------------------
