+ THE KING IS DEAD! +
| , _ |
+ /|/ \ +
| |__/ |
+ | \_/eports are scrabbled, but the important facts shine through. The
King is dead and a portal to the dreaded Abyss exists just outside the
city limits. Wild beats and demons roam about the lands, tormenting all
who are unfortunate enough to make their acquaintance. Detailed descriptions
of these hideous monsters have made their way to this bard's ears and let it
be known that they chill the blood.
But all is not lost. The city continues to remain defended due to the noble
efforts of many brave souls. But much might will be required if reports
are true that the evilest and viles of vile evils- Archmage Thaxis and Xaquar
Blackheart- walk this land again.
Facts involving the Kings death are muddled, some say he died screaming like
a woman, others claim he fought noble for the life of his daughter- the now
Queen Elana. It is said that she was kidnapped by the vile forces of evil*
and she was rescued by a party lead by noble Lord Tsang. Other names
involved in the defense of the city: the noble Amarin, the wise Rackbahuu,
Azshan, Cotswald, Xisstyre, Gorvan, Eurasha, and many more.
Already there is speculation about who shall rise up to take the Queen's
hand in marriage to help steady the kingdom in this dire hour. Perhaps
her brave rescuer Lord Tsang who is said to be tall and handsome, or maybe
the aged but wise and level headed Lord Rackbahuu. There has even been
speculation that King Angus's supposed lover Lord Roger shall make a play
for such a position.

these hard times.

+ (/avara Medowflame- malicious woman, sadly deranged, or actually gifted
with the company of a talking doll?
Miss Medowflame put on an interesting display on the 5th of the Dragon Month
in the year 1422. Upon being queried about a one Tyen, she consulted with a
doll going by the name of Cindy-Lou.
What highlights this event was not just the oddity of the action, but the
victim of the prank- if it was in fact one. A young blind Inali was
searching for her companion, the above mentioned Tyen. Since she was the
only one who had met him, there was no real way to confirm or deny the
doll's description of the fellow.*

*Any information leading to the confirmation or discrediting of the doll
is welcome news for next week's issue.

| \_/\/t would appear that citizens of Devenon aren't under attack from just
Demon spawn. A crazed old woman has been assaulting innocents at the
fountain on the 13th of the Month of Goat in the year 1433. A certain young
bard's locks of hair were attacked unprovoked and the noble Lord Rackbahuu
was slapped. Be on the lookout for a exceptionally stopped and gray-haired
hag.

Have you seen this creature? If so, beware, it is scabby and could be
contagious. Also, avoid any food it may offer since it is surely far from
sanitary. Should not be considered dangerous however.
