Griffon Newsletter 106 - 10/22/04

News:
Guards and income
A new policy has gone into effect, by order of the Clan Council. Henceforth, any guard who successfully brings a criminal _to trial_, will get a monetary bonus. 10K stenis even if it's an acquittal, but the republic will pay the guard 50K stenis per successful conviction.
Another crazy Gold Dragon male
After the debacle of a member of the Aurik family burning down the family house a while ago, there are early rumors that Judge Yarkon took the Acting Queen hostage for trying to become a priestess of Zutiv--something the Dragons frown on--and passed judgment on her and sentenced her to being punished and dragged through the streets. When Priest Ixion tried to 'free' Lucretia Clan Leader Nydiam arrived with his guards and ordered them to fire on his wife and Judge Yarkon.
There are some that are calling for the arrest of Clan Leader Nydiam for attempted murder, but then he is a clan leader, so what can you do? They are pretty much a law unto themselves these days.
New Griffons:
Susia - This buxom lass has an infinitely grabbable solid quality about her. She has strong hands, and looks as if she's worked hard in her life. Her cheeks are rosy, and she has a habit of putting her hands on her hips in a sassy way.

OOC News:
New Tithe Rate!
Tithes are 75%.. but wait, this is not a change that can be reacted to since staff tell us that tithes were always 75%.
Childcare Costs are up!
A recent (and unanounced) change to the childcare code means that everyone is paying (as far as I can determine) three times more childcare costs than before.
