IC News

A rather mysterious figure showed up at the Shadina estate recently and dropped a body off, no one is sure who it was but it could have been anyone. Even the lifeless body of our dear Lord Dedalion!

The Gold Dragon Clan is in mourning as one of their greatest leaders, Lord High General Atreides died valiantly in battle defending the Griffon city of Firalut from the Shamibelian horde. His death of course came at a time when many Gold Dragons are still angry over the Griffons being given Scirlut.

The Eagle Clan has just as much to be proud of as the leader of the successful campaign in Firalut was none other than their brave and fierce Commander Omiak. Known now as the Warrior of Anar, he lead his command to victory and beat back the Shamibelians to secure the outpost city.

Lady Proxy Fidelia, our beloved leader has recovered from the difficult and taxing birth of Lady Julea and is now hard at work again for the clan.

The long awaited end of the mourning period has arrived! Bear Clan citizens can now put away their navy mourning clothes and wear other colors.

Lady Delagate Xamori is asking that everyone in the clan military send her a message to tell her what skills they have for the clan forces to use and which they would like to learn. And this is undoubtedly a good time to take stock of those in the forces as recruiting numbers seem to be on the rise. Even the newly adult Mes Corinia has been seen around the district and the city toting a spear that is well over a foot taller than she is!

In other news from around the city:

One of those scandalous Ticanee savages seems to be worshiping Eesha with women who not only are not his wife, but not even in his clan! Okatik Swiftpaw has been getting his paws on far too many women and it seems the city is in an uproar.

Lady Timandra and Princess Tia held their long awaited Kamnestran Temple charity auction and raised over 5 million stenis for the temple. Our own Lady Xamori was one of those who bid upon items there.

The horse racing circuit is to start again, any nobles who wish to have their horses entered into it should contact Lady Nevra as she is helping Lord Marsalos with this.

OOC News

Our random channel poll of the week was extended to the bb in order to ensure more hilarity. The question:

If you could give Parosh any hairstyle what would it be?

Dread locks received the most votes, but pig tails, an afro and nothing but ears also received votes!

For those of you in Europe who were unable to attend the Con there is a current discussion on the Invision boards about having a mini-Con somewhere in Europe. So there is a possibility of seeing the grand Parosh and possibly even myself. Woo hoo! Feel the excitement.

The cost of construction has gone up, see @bb/read 4/14 - though this does not mean that the freeze on building has been lifted.

The busy coders have also added a warning system for IC rent. You should be warned seven days before your rent runs out so you can renew it in time.

Praise or Diss Candidates -

Praise - Omiak - The Warrior of Anar!
Atreides - For dying valiantly in battle, what a hero!
