Rumors
"Beshaba [d842] was caught stealing, and given a beating." This happened in Sweetwood [p73], port city, in province Saltwood [dm48]
Amateurs abound. Perhaps it IS time we purged the newbies.
Why pity them? If they want to live, they must plead their fealty to one o= f us, and so help preserve the current status quo - with which I am quite content. Let's not get soft on them, OK?
Incidentally, the Vulture [s356] has murdered an innkeeper on the Plains o= f Harn [dk49], and taken possession of his inn, the Ludvigsen [z254]. Any comments, oh omniscient Vulture [s356] ? Does the Harn Alliance know about this?

Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!

No need to be torn between "Blood-Thirsty" or "Coward" Cendage. We feel that "Blood-Thirsty Coward" is an excellent tag for you. After all you earned it so enjoy it.
Starvation in Greyfell is rising to unknown limits, the people are revolting and the local rulers sit by and watch the show. How long will the poor keep up with those over-fed aristocrats ? Screams of justice can be heard through the streets, men have taken up arms and brawls have become more then a favorite pasttime.
The situation is clearly runing out of hand.
