Gold Dragon Newsletter - 09/10/06
From FiranMUX
Around the Walls:
It seems Lady Galadra Junik has been forcefully joined into the Gold Dragon Clan as well, and the avid Griffon woman is not pleased. Rumour has it that she was seen in the Junik gardens with a sword, hacking apart the flowers, rose bushes and hedges that she so neatly keeps and is known for through the city. After a confrontation with her daughter, Lucia, Galadra left the district and hasn't been seen since. The Gold Dragons who normally pass the Junik Mansion wonder if her transition will be a quick and easy one, but speculate that this was just a preview of what may be to come. Others think this is just one more misfortune befalling the Junik family and that the Lady Galadra will recover soon enough.
As a direct result of his mothers clan transfer Lord Cortik made an unauthorised speech attacking the Griffons as being uncivilised and ungrateful. While many Gold Dragons applauded his speech as being accurate, he was punished by Lord Zafir and sentenced to clean the clan stables and take tea with Lady Ristana Manosik.
Junik related speeches do not end there however. Following a speech by Governor Fudathim of the Shamibelians, in which they once more demanded slaves and even suggested the Griffon clan be sent, Lord Zafir made a speech of his own (with permission naturally). In a very Gold Dragon act of defiance he called the governor old and a coward and offered, quite politely, to put a sword into his gut. No reply has been made yet.
Rumour has it that the rather odd group of Gold Dragon priests are seeking an audience with Clan Leader Jalil regarding inquisitioning the returning Junik Ladies. Seems someone is not happy about having a known pagan in the clan nobility.
The funeral of Delrosa Gadinik, adopted daughter of Nazeera and Kristover Rissik failed to go ahead. People are being very tight-lipped as to why it was cancelled and rumours of all shapes and sizes abound ranging from 'they just weren't ready to let her go yet' to 'Unsel stole her body for a proper mono funeral'. The truth remains a mystery.
Rumors swirl that a prominent Anarinuell businessman has ties to the Shamibelians and has been involved in third-party arms deals with them in which Firan weapons, tactics, and armour was sold. An old city man was heard to say, "Who cares? The Shamibelian armour, weapons, and tactics are better than ours--they'll get nothing out of it and someone will get some gold" but military experts are appalled and say that less weapons in the hands in the Firans are a bad thing, and dealing with the Shamibelians for any reason is morally wrong.
Look happy non-shami/Non-Junik news. Lady Selia IstaBelik has wed Lord Tarnot and the Lord has joined the Hydra clan and the IstaBelik family. The wedding went without a hitch and the populace seems pleased with the match, so far.
Our own Mer Albel is also approaching the marriage altar, though he will now be doing it as a Chimeran. Lord Zafir gave permission for the clan switch due to Mer Albel's desire to marry an Eagle Mes by the name of Nisa.
Lord Priest Audentus Manosik announced happily that the inquisition had saved the soul of Mes Starlette Aegrotik. She voluntarily handed herself to the temple after feeling that she was being led astray from the true path, and through self flagellation and meditation has once more found direction.

Welcome:
We have bunch new faces in the form of Zethill, Zaruell, Eaoden, Kaie and Tia! Please shower them in chocolates and shiny things and make them feel welcome. And if I missed anyone else then... oops. Welcome to you too!
OOC: It is with some sadness I announce that this will likely be my last newsletter for you all, though I may squeeze one more in. I will be rostering Ristana soon and you will have a nice shiny new fachead. It's been fun; hopefully we'll meet again in another guise.
Many thanks to Galadra for her help in this newsletter!
