Lonely Hearts with Hedge
To the Good People of Lesia,
I would like to bring to your attention the needs of the Three Dragons Churches Guild at this time. As recent reports have made clear, the Churches Guild is under new management, and unfortunately many of the
Temples of Katanal and Churches Guild Houses during the time preceding this change had been ransacked and mostly destroyed. I implore you, the good people of Lesia; they are in dire need of your charity. Please, join with the Churches Guild and help them through this tough time. They require your time and aid in rebuilding what has been lost, if you could spare the guild some time of your own that would be greatly appreciated. Also, the Guild houses require donations of furniture and interior goods, and apprentices of all manners are encouraged to aid in the rebuild.
Without these Guild houses and Temples of Katanal, I must ask of you this – Where is it safe to say prayer and to tend to those of you who require the Guilds help?
I hope that my plea to you good citizens does not go unheard in these dark times, as we need to rally together to make our Guild houses and Temples of Katanal great once again. Please, citizens of Lesia, help those who are needy. Help the Guild that cares for you, the people of our great land, and repay that kindness.
A Prayer to Yasdril, for our lands and our people.
To Yasdril we pray, in these times of unrest, to show us the path to unity.
To Yasdril we pray, in our hearts uneasy, to show us the strength to carry on.
To Yasdril we pray, in times of uncertainty, to show us the way to stand together.
To Yasdril, we pray – in these times of change, to show us how to restore balance to our lands,
For together we stand as one for our land – To Yasdril, we pray.
Her Royal Highness, Princess Viola
Churches Guild-Houses
Attack
Three weeks ago on the Saturday at 11.00pm: three Guild Houses were attacked simultaneously. Three dead; Marcella Morgan 32, Tommy Conner 41, Terry Thomas 25 and eighteen injured.
Four missing; Melinda Ingram 18, Amelia Hardy 20, Cecilia Clarke 21 and Gabriella Lewis 18.
One building was burnt and taken 70% structural damage. No supplies were taken or destroyed at this time. Following eye witness reports it has been sum-marised that: “Twig Splitters attacked alongside dark shadow like creatures. Twig Splitters- humanoid sized and shaped tree like creatures using poisons and vines for damages Shadows- not un-living maybe ex-tra planar creatures? Long claws but deliberately walked past any non-guild member.”
Letter nailed to each door. “The War has begun, the followers of the Inherent Three shall eventually bend the knee and beg for mercy from the Sisters.”
Three weeks ago on the Saturday at Midnight. The Order of the Crescent Moon Citadel were attacked. Ten were injured and two died during the attack; Francesca Dawn and Fredrick Smith. There was a sighting of Iris Black; with reports she had beguiled a member and seemed to favour green magic.
Sunday at midnight; The Main Temples of Katanal in Swag Key, Portlet, Golden Grove, Catelon and Ragne-rock were attacked. Two (Portlet and RagneRagne-rock) were completely destroyed by boulders and stones. The roof was caved in and the interior has since been looted- ongoing investigation. Three ( Swag Key, Golden Grove and Catelon) have been desecrated and vandalized. No deaths or injuries on this occa-sion. Sir Paul is handling the situation and sending a team to deal with these witches.
The Fight increases against
the People’s Front
Now that the real purpose behind the People’s Front revealed, arrests have slowed and attacks have become fewer. The two Vampire Brothers are still at large, and their whereabouts unknown.
It seems only larger un-living creatures and those under corrupted thrall are their fighting force but they are still a strong enemy.
The Crown and the Guilds are training new recruits, securing supply caravans and guarding the
surrounding areas.
The following laws have temporarily been put into effect:
- A curfew at 10.00pm
- Guild paper-work can allow some members extended access.
- Regular road blocks in and out of the city - Stop checks for compulsions and effects - Home and stock searches may occur - Arrests for aiding a people’s front member - Rewards for any evidence that leads to
beguiled members
- Burning of the dead with proper prayers - Extended and regulated guard patrols in Major
Cities.
Warnings over Tainted
Artifacts
Reports of unusual stones that have been spreading an unknown disease.
The Mages Guild and Churches Guild are working hard to solve this new outbreak, citizens are warned not to touch unusual black stones. Those with extra senses will notice a void where they are, do not touch them under any circumstances. It's mystical in nature, and seems to be able to infect both spirited humanoids and the spiritless elder races alike.Mark the area and alert the closest authorities, they will extract the threat.
Should anyone show symptoms near any of these sites, please alert the Churches Guild. Avoid direct contact with those showing symptoms as a precaution, but arrange to quarantine them in their homes or somewhere secluded and secure to assure no injury occurs to them or those around them.
The Mages & Churches guild will provide further information on this new affliction to the Lesian Press as investigations continue. Currently reported symptoms include:
- Black veins - Colour change
- Delusions of hearing dark voices
- Severe personality changes
- Unusual marks - Odd colourings - Eye change - Sudden blindness - Strong mood changes - Gain/loss of powers - Skin rash
- Coughing up blood - Suddenly discussing
morbid topics - Feeling like harming
others
- Animalist behaviour - Blood coming from the
eyes or nose - Pox or spots
Blood-Bowl Team Massacre
The team Kamikaze Bombers consisting of 8 orc players and their coach Mugoard Brag were found murdered last week just outside of Anvil. The team were preparing for the new Blood Bowl Season starting in January, and travelling to practise camp. The team had correct paperwork and were heading towards a victory from predictions.
Team Colour: Red and Black Team Honours:
Chaos Cup Winners; 1104, 1108 & 1110 Blood-Bowl Winners; 1112 & 1113
Hall of Fame Players; Vrothu Grimworm, Maknok Gul and Jnorth Ulam
Maknok Gul was their team captain, Age 30,
Weight 188lbs. Position: Blitzer.
Career total: Rushing 1,988 paces, 51 touchdowns and 299 injuries.
Awards: Orc-Player of the year 1107, AF Player of the Year 1113, Chaos Cup Winners Medal of 1108.
Fans are outraged over Captain Maknok’s death alongside the Kamikaze Bombers, despite his race he had an unusual brain for tactics and violence and the people loved him.
Official word from Orc Spokesman, His Grossest Majesty Skullcrush XII is:
“Many tragedies has happened but this is strongest one. We will find these monsters and give them orc justice.”
Faust still at large?
Deacon Crowley, Greymane and Lady Charlotte
Angelius were seen at Portlet Dock returning
from a merchant ship from Admiral Aisa’s fleet,
bound from Orlaine. No statements have been
made of their mission overseas but rumours of
them still hunting the supposed deceased Faust
are spreading like wildfire.
Is another continuing his work?
Sir Salem Heroes Night
Sir Salem throws open the doors of Dragon’s
Defense to allow heroes the chance to speak to
people they have saved or lives have been
touched by their efforts. I was allowed into the
evening, and met many citizens through-out the
building.
“Sir Zacherus saved my village, allowed me the
chance to find my son whilst we were separated
by the undead army.”
“Sir Tesla helped teach my little girl Bell to
harness her powers and become a powerful
mage, I only hope her sister can take those steps
too.”
“Sir Daniel guaranteed my family was safe from
Raven, we will always honour him”
“Deacon killed a monster that stalked young girls
in our city, my girls have a future now”
“Nathanial, has fought to allow souls to rest
properly. Bless you”
“Barak, he stopped the Reavers and saved his
allies life even whilst infected”
