_________________________________________________________________________
In the wake of his sister Grechian's death, Lord Emarin dul Ghaan le Manalahi
has taken stewardship of her child, named Lantz dul Ghaan, and made an
attempt to set sail for Tubor though for reasons unknown returned back to
city limits. With it, however, he has signed his resignation as Lord
Justiciar and yielded the title to Duraina ab Tybalt with little fanfare or
public appearance, acknowledging his absence as a detriment to the Queen's
Guard.

Just before dawn on the 20th of Maius, a pleasantly warm Votumas was greeted
with the beckoning calls of the Cathedral bells to River Square. There at
the stage waited Grand Inquisitor Sibylle dul Fontaine to guide the crowds in
a brief Mass before the cleansing of Mister Ardan mal Perche.

She spoke on the man's long life, lost to the fears and doubts brought up by
the Taint. How his confession to using magics had changed his name and his
face to live this long - he had previously been known as Edwynn ab Maldrek.
Her sympathies lied with the man, for as she instructed the Crowd, Taint of
this power and duration has a way of making what is right seem wrong, and
what is wrong seem right. At last, she spoke, her time with him in Ahalin
had guided him back to the Lord, and he was ready to make his peace through
the flames.

She bade the audience to examine their own actions and those of their friends
and family. How many present could stand to learn a lesson about the power
of the deceit of the Taint, after all?

_________________________________________________________________________
Word rapidly flows through the city that Architects have descended upon a
home outside of the Vavardi quarter, beginning what looks like a massive
construction project. Scaffolding is quickly erected, and the framework for
a dome is built along with masonworkers, and other craftsman from Lithmore's
merchants darting about in the assisting a bronzed Tubori man. When asked,
people seem to murmur, that the Master le Tetranolo is constructing a new
ballroom in honor of his Tubori culture, and wishes to meet with various
artists in the city who wish to assist in decorating the space.

(Class Relations shifts up from Pathetic to Poor.) In late Maius, workers
from Town Hall were seen rounding up the last of Lord Volsuan's loose swans.
The unattended swans had become something of a nuisance in recent months,
nesting near the major bridges and accosting passers-by who grew too close.
The unruliest of the birds were sent to the city's butcheries, where they
were slaughtered and distributed to local families; others were slated for
donation to various aviaries and private establishments. When asked why all
the effort, a Town Hall worker reportedly responded that just because the
Baron was pyred doesn't mean his birds should go to waste -- or that
something good shouldn't come from his passing.

_________________________________________________________________________
It was early evening on Maius twenty-third when the Cathedral bells rang
again, summoning the Faithful of Lithmore to witness the cleansing of Lord
Lagi le Manalahi. His magery made known to the crowds, the Grand Inquisitor
spoke of the former Baron's life and leadership, noting how the Taint had
taken advantage of his compassion and love for his people to keep the former
Baron alive despite his magery. She warned that the body cannot thrive while
the head suffers, and so the people of Tubor would, like their lord, benefit
from this cleansing.

Lord Lagi le Manalahi was fastened to the post facing skyward, and was
administered a drink of some sort before the pyre was lit.

_________________________________________________________________________
Ahalin has kept a relentless pace in the past weeks, and on the evening of
Maius 28th, the trend continued. Grand Inquisitor Sibylle dul Fontaine rang
the bells for sleepy members of the Faith to gather in River Square to
witness the cleansing of Asher ab Fallow. Though the Grand Inquisitor
expounded on the Taint in the man turning him to manipulations and lies, she
brought a note of hope to the sermon by the end as she mentioned his
resolution and dedication to the Lord of the Springs again. She implored the
crowd to seek salvation for their sins - before the opportunity passed.

_________________________________________________________________________
Word spread like wildfire through the city after two successive claps of
thunder were heard from the Crossroads. With the heavy sounds came a
horrifying sight, the body of the Prime Medicus left on display in view of
any passing. Her body was mutilated from deep lacerations and clear signs of
magical abuse. Some say that before the body was taken away, they saw that
one of her eyes had been removed and placed in her mouth, a dagger in its
socket instead.

(Class Relations shifts up from Terrible to Pathetic.) On the evening of June
11, the Lord Seneschal commanded that the doors of the Aureate Stag lounge (a
traditionally exclusive venue) be opened to the general public for an
informal event. Every drink the establishment has to offer was made
available and free to guests, along with samples of the house tabac.

_________________________________________________________________________
Following recent announcements about the Awards Ceremony, Lord Kirill von
Dmitreva is evidently seeking further opportunities to enrich Paarin Park and
increase its potential as a venue. New benches, fine gravel for the
pathways, and a fresh layer of mulch for the flower beds are all expected in
the coming weeks. There's also talk of planting a few additional trees for
shade. Herbalists, gardners, and craftsmen are being encouraged to reach out
to His Lordship for work opportunities, and the Count is even willing to pay
for additional enrichment ideas, as well.

When asked why the focus on Paarin Park, Lord von Dmitreva purportedly stated
that because the park is in a central location, it has the potential to bring
people from various walks of life together. As such, it deserves more
attention and care than it has received in the past.

Somber bells rang across Lithmore on the morning of June sixteenth, calling
members of the Faith to River Square to witness another pyring. Grand
Inquisitor Sibylle dul Fontaine was there and led the crowds in a sermon on
the value of community in keeping individuals free from the Taint. Though he
came from Ahalin to be burned as a mage, the Grand Inquisitor praised
Gethen's wisdom and honesty in his Review, noting that if he'd had a life
more connected to the faithful, he might not have endured so much suffering
in false freedom as a living mage.

News was slow to travel northwards as late night during the fourth of June,
382, the weakened state of the Edessa to Bastion border was taken advantage
of when several guards were found with their throats slit at their posts. A
sizeable hole was drilled into the border wall and Bastion as a whole began
to fall into chaos with elemental disturbances, disease and harship in the
wake of an unknown presence. These anomalies appear to have moved from one
edge of the barony to the next and is soon expected to pass into the Blight,
making a beeline for Ten Buray.

_________________________________________________________________________
Word filters through the streets: The Merchants' Guild of Lithmore is making
plans to hold a Festival of sorts during 'The Calm' Holiday. Current
information speaks of food and drink with a Farin and Lithmorran touch to
mark what the holiday is about- the coming together of two races.
Speculation has decided there is no doubt going to be some entertainment as
the Merchants rarely go without reaching out to the Troubadours for music.

_________________________________________________________________________
Following recent calls for support by Lord Kirill von Dmitreva, Paarin Park
has been receiving a little tender loving care to improve its status and its
potential as an event venue. New benches line the pathways, which have been
layered with fine gravel brought in from local sources. Several flowering
trees have been planted, and ailing areas of lawn have been tended to by
professional gardeners. According to Town Hall officials, a large gazebo and
a few pieces of playground equipment are also planned and are expected to be
erected in the coming weeks thanks to local support. An announcement will be
made when the installations are complete.

Among the initiative's known supporters were Lady Marisa dul Damassande, Lady
Annsleigh ab Croix, Poet Laudate Norrig op Arcenant and Bardess Theodora op
Arcenant, Magnate Francesca dul Alberti, and a handful of anonymous backers.
Merchant Lazar Almasi is being credited with the current designs for the new
facilities and is expected to have a large role in their construction.

_________________________________________________________________________
Thousands lay dead or dying in the wake of a northward-moving entity from the
Bastion breach as it passed through across the border of Malinis into Brune
proper, leaving the duchy of Farin behind. Many lives were lost as the mad
were cut down or caused their own deaths, diseased livestock slaughtered and
burned, and some locals salting their lands in fear of what might sprout from
below if it remains fertile. Relief efforts have been tireless, evacuated
citizens placing a strain on neighboring areas' infrastructure as those
touched by the chaos wait for the residual effects to fade.

In Brune itself, panic has clutched the hearts and minds of many as those who
can afford to bag their valuables flee to neighboring countries such as Awan
Ride and Mont Innes. Essential services come pretty much to a standstill as
produce started growing mold before local's very eyes and the ground beneath
the back half of the barony's Reeve office as well as Town Hall fell sank
away into pits easily a hundred paces wide. Thick clouds began to gather and
swirl around a central point, aiming to slice through the area, headed for
the capital.

_________________________________________________________________________
(Infrastructure shifts up from Challenged to Substandard.) Following rumors
of Knights and Reeves marching south, the mobilization of volunteers, and the
potential arrival of refugees, the office of the Seneschal began hastily
organizing improvements to the city's infrastructure to accommodate. Among
the preparations were repairs to primary travel routes to and from the city
proper. These repairs came not long after the City Council's most recent
meeting at Town Hall.

With news of rather private troubles back home, Lady Justiciar Duraina ab
Tybalt stepped down from her position as Justiciar, leaving the position of
Justiciar to her right-hand man, Virgarth le Assanathdar. With a promise to
the woman to keep the Reeves strong and to do right by her and the people of
Lithmorre, the Tubori man took the position with his head held high and a
promise that should she be able to return, he would welcome her back into the
Reeves with open arms.
