The Sports Report
The spring pentathalon winner, formally known as Philander Jaffus, then known as Lord Philander Ista Aldrik, and known again as Mer Philander Jaffus, was found innocent of conspiracy against the bear clan, but found guilty by admission of theft and insubordination. He was going to be stripped of his title and sent to the Cockatrice Clan, but his wife (now exwife) gave him mercy and made him pay a fine of 500K stenis and a dissolution of their marriage.
Some debates going around about Lady Aldrissa, who was thrown out of her family and given to the Doves last year to be 'taught a lesson'. Seems she's been welcomed back into the family, and the peasants wonder how long it'll last.
Nothing but Sun! Sun! Sun!
The following people won events in the festival:
- Third place in the crafter's competition belongs to Serra.
- Hattie and Rodellos won first and second place in The Price is Right.
- Serra and Rodellos took home the first place prize for the Egg Toss.
- Lutrios won 1st in the Storytelling contest with a story of his and Inessa's wedding night.
- Osiana won 1st in the poetry contest with her poem entitled 'For Katarus'.
Lord Rodellos was seen being escorted after the Drinking Contest back home by the Palace guard because he "couldn't remember the way". The very same lord hosted a very controversial event during the festival where commoners would impersonate nobles. One group of entries was a pack of whores, and the other, a halfie and a jeweler. And soon after, both teams received summons from the nobletypes. But, as Steph put it, the common folks loved it and proclaim Rodellos "Honorary Bard"!
The flood of Hydrans seems to have receded, most returning back to Arinzi, but still a few wait through the funerals of Mateen Mageeran and Lady Priestess Inessa Didoron, just newly married to our very own Lutrios. The latter death was caused by a poisoned fertility potion, and everyone from Lord Lutrios himself down to the Ticanee Oshta. The investigation continues.
Lady Aristria has been speechful lately! She's given speeches on events to happy in Arinzi soon, so keep an eye out for her and her talkative self on our bboard and on bb 27! So far, she's giving childraising classes and cooking classes. Check bb 35 for details. She's also hosting 'Make a Joyful Noise', an event in the forum of Arinzi for everyone to come and praise Zutiv.
Lord Gadiste has met the clan's needs for wood, silk cloth, and papyrus plants.
Oh Baby!
Mes Imenope has given birth to a baby with light blonde hair and named him Unotik. Rumors spreading like wildfire.
Old? Naw, just Experienced!
- Evalina Meric turned 26 on Nov. 8th!
- Ofilia Jaldrish, gramma of the 3 Jaldrish girls, turned 58 this week.
- Lady Senika just turned 22 on Nov. 22nd. Happy Bday!
- Mer Sarus Emarinsari turned 26 on Nov. 27th. Yey!
Dearly Departed
Lady Priestess Inessa Didoron, just married to Lord Lutrios, was poisoned this last night. Rumor has it that the murder spree in Anarinuell continues.
Mateen Mageeran was killed and left on his parent's doorstep this week. May his soul rest in peace.
Wanted! Dead or Alive
- Labor is still needed to help build the monuments.
- Labor is also needed to chop wood and work for the Lord Guv.
Because I'm the FacHead, I'm asking around for another matchmaker to apply, just like Pepe did before he passed over the reins. We haven't been able to properly keep an Olivia, and sadly, we do need someone who can do the job. If no one else applies, I'll take the position, but please, do stick something in my @mailbox, and we'll talk. Thanks!
