Temple News
It has been noted by anyone who regularly attends service at the True Temple that all of the Priests and Initiates are taking up residence at the True Temple. It seems that Father Sedarius has recalled all of the clergy to the Temple and that they are praying and fasting intensely.
Father Sedarius made a wonderful speech about the vigil of the True Temple. It seems that there are lions about and the word has spread that perhaps it is our temple's fault, because we brough "He who shall not be named" out in the open. Contrary to popular belief, there are some who whisper that these lions were here before the man who will not be named was brought out for false worshipping. The temple calls for all parishoners to come to the Temple and pray for guidance and light from our Lord Zutiv in these trying times. It would seem that the pagans, may very well be trying to pin a bit of something on the True Temple, when obviously, it is not true. Also, some Gold Dragons are quite upset that Her Honor, High Priestess of the Realms Fidelia has still not publicly named our Father Sedarius as Acting High Priest. What is she trying to do?! Most hope that our own Clan Leader will keep vigilant in keeping our Temple and our Faith supported and protected from these evil pagans.
General Gossip
The Lady Pamella Shadina Academy for Social Graces is still accepting applications for students. Tuition (and board) is decided on a case-by-case basis and students can choose to live on or off campus. There are also scholarships available, particularly of the orphan-related variety. So! There's really no reason /not/ to. People are asked to contact Lady Seyhalia for more details....Though there is a reason not to, for monotheists. Perhaps because they have their own Academy! Who would want pagans teaching their children. The horror! *gasp*
Speaking of the Academy.....
The time honored tradition of sending the youth of the Monotheistic faith to the Zutivian Academy for training and education is being restored by Acting High Priest Sedarius Firabi. The school will soon open for enrollment but a school isn't much without teachers. These teachers will be paid to teach classes to all students of the Zutivian Academy and will have a direct hand in guiding the future generation of leaders.
Male Teachers needed for the following lessons:

NOTE: These classes are available to both male and female students unless it is grossly feminine like hairstyling and then the boy will be disciplined and pointed in another direction.
Acting High Priest Sedarius Firabi - Headmaster of the Zutivian Academy is putting out word that he is accepting donations for the academy. Donations will go towards paying teachers, buying tools and supplies for students, and towards scholarships for the less fortunate to attend the academy. All donations may be sent to Father Sedarius to be placed in the Academy Trust Fund.
Rumor has it that Captain Danomik of the Iron Regiment, unable to speak due to a lion-broken jaw was kicked out of the Singles Mixer by its host, Lord Banian, during a game the Lord was running, for something he had written on the scroll he was using to communicate. The scroll was immediately shredded. What did he say that caused such an uproar as to actually be asked, no...commanded, to leave?
Mes Uryella Firabi discretely sends word around the district that she's looking for fellow herbologists and healers, or people who want to learn herbology, to help her with the invention of a possible new medicine. She already has a few interested colleagues and students from beyond the clan, but as a true Gold Dragon woman she'd prefer to work alongside at least one clanswoman (or -men) because of well you know... clan's pride. If interested, she'd more than happy to meet with you to discuss the idea she has in mind so just send her a message or show up at the orphanage's doorsteps.
Delegate Elections have been underway! It seems the whispers are supporting our very own Mer Bukatio. And while there are rumors of supporters, there are other gossip that the majority are making sure to keep support from Mer Kader a contender against our GD delegate nominee.
