Jonstown: Rumours in Jonstown indicate that a new Trickster spell has been discovered by Eurmali Heroquester An Fear Ruadh. No details are known at the time of writing, but the good citizens of Jonstown are understandably worried.
Furthest: In the city of Furthest, construction of something called a "Coliseum" has begun. A Coliseum is apparently a Lunar invention, consisting of a very large arena, surrounded by seats for spectators. In the arena, men called "gladiators" fight savage beasts or each other. This monument of Lunar decadence and bloodlust is being buildt with slave labour, and is expected to be ready in about a year. Training of gladiators have already begun in Furthest.
Boldhome: The wandering bard, Flann Ferrall, has returned to Sartar after five years in exile. He has taken up residence in the Royal Complex, where he delights listeners with his wild tales of adventure. It seems that he has spendt most of his time in exile with the notorious wolf pirate Gerda Ravenhair, who died recently. Flanns adventures has left him a bit strange however. Yesterday, he was fined for kicking Prince Temertains favourite cat. Earlier that day, he rebuked his audience for "staring at him".
Throne: A party of adventures returning from an expedition to the Rockwood Mountains near Throne claim to have seen a giant troll on their way back. The race of giant trolls were thought to be extinct since Time began. After extensive research, the Pavis Lhankor Mhy temple has decided to outfit an expedition to search for the creature. What they intend to do with it when they find it is another question!
Sun Dome Country: Chaos in the Sun Dome Temple! Light Son Attius Hawknose was ritually slain by several Sunspears when it was discovered that he had a third eye in the back of his head. A nearby Storm Bull temple has sent three of its most skilled Chaoshunters to the Yelmalio temple to search for any further evidence of Chaos.
Jansholm: The only survivor of Enara Greatbow's expedition into
the Chaos Woods returned to Jansholm yesterday. The man, Aralt
Shieldbiter, was raving mad and unable to speak, but it is certain
that the rest of his comrades are dead. Lord Shugrue, now deprived
of his chance to taste "creamed walktapus brain" has instead offered
another reward - 100 Wheels to the person or group who brings him
"the monster with the most amusing chaos feature...."
Alone: Noted Humakti Sword Lorcan the Stubborn killed by his own
horse! Lorcan and followers were investigating an old temple ruin
near Jaldon's Point, when they disturbed two dragonewts performing
some sort of ritual. Lorcan charged them on his faithful warhorse
"Merciless Slayer of Foes", when one of the dragonewts produced a
Truestone and pointed it at the horse. "Slayer" promptly threw Lorcan
off, and in seconds he was trampled to death. His companions were
allowed to retrieve his remains. Following local Humakti custom, the
horse will be slain and buried with its master.
Boldhome: A network of underground tunnels was recently discovered beaneath that fair city. Following clues found in one of the tunnels, several prominent persons (including one of the Tarsh ambassadors) were arrested for Krarsht membership. A group of sixteen Lunar soldiers was sent down to clear out the tunnels. They were never heard from again. Prince Temertain has ordered that the tunnels are to be sealed off. The local Mostali are already hard at work.
