The Fate of Iglata

He was to be released after doing a short period of hard labour. But rumours, some wild and fantastic, have been flying concerning his fate.

It seems he was the victim of vigilante justice - on the streets of Trinsic, no less. More embarrassing still for the Duchy, the citizen execution took place while he was working on a chain gang, under the very noses of the guards overseeing him!

Or was the purpose of the attack not citizen justice but something more sinister? Rumours are rife. One was that he was attacked and killed by a couple of wild animals. Then there is the strange sequel in which it is rumoured that a dog - presumably a shapeshifter - packed up his remains in a bag of sending and despatched them.

This sounds to me like an attempt to preserve his remains for raising as an undead.

There are many questions concerning what happened to this monster responsible for so much misery to the Trinsic Elves and the lady VanQa and her family in particular.

The silence from the Duchy on the matter is so loud as to be almost deafening, especially in view of the extensive public concern in the whole Iglata affair.

It seems we will never know the truth. It would be an appalling miscarriage of justice if the monster were to be raised as an undead creature to continue his trail of death and persecution. The Duchy would have to bear the full responsibility for such a horrific outcome, and all the further misery and pain that would result.

The Recent Return of the Fabulous Oona Moonstone! Fashion Goddess!

Avid followers of fashion were delighted to find that the legendary tailor Miss Oona Moonstone had come out of retirement for a week to visit old friends and settle some affairs. (No, you naughty people, *business* affairs!) Garments by Miss Moonstone have long been cherished by those appreciative of the finer things in life for their exquisite stitching and cut, so her brief return made it possible for a few more lucky addicts of haute couture to acquire a treasure. We wish the lady a pleasant retirement, but if those nimble fingers should return once more there will be some smiling faces in Sosaria!

[move over Muldran Skully and Sally Buttinz and Lereia the FashionQueen is still the best]

A Poem Found Etched on a Cave in Vesper Graveyard

My blade is dark with blood and grime,
I am no paladin,
No virtue can be served by me,
I walk a world worn thin.

My skin is dark with blood and grime,
My words no longer free,
I carve them into stone turned rough,
By lost naivety.

My thoughts are dark with blood and grime,
The veil is ripped away,
I soothe myself with searing pain,
To face each darker day.

My soul is dark with blood and grime,
I see no holy light,
My pledge is shadowed, yet heartfelt,
I stand with you-and fight!

This poem was etched on a cave in the Vesper Graveyard which leads to the Lost Lands. There was a crudely drawn broken crown found just below the poem itself. This information comes to us from one who knows this cave well apparently and the report itself has some dried orc-blood on the corner.

A letter has been leaked to us …

To Reann, Justice of Trinsic.

Greetings. I had considered writing this letter in the language of the Drow, but you would be unable to read it. I then thought I would write in your own language, but then you do not understand the language of elves very well either. So I have settled for the common tongue. I want there to be no misunderstandings. You see there are none so blind as those who look but do not see, and none so deaf as those who hear but do not listen. That is you.

Do you know what justice is Reann? Do you understand the concept? To hand out JUSTICE you have to JUSTIFY your actions. You have to PROVE to be right. And yet you did not do this with me. I was accused of some heinous crime brought by some male who’s hatred for my sister is well known. He did it because he stupidly thought he could get her through me. And as your hatred for Vierna is just as strong, you bought it…..you let your emotion run riot.

I denied my involvement when you questioned me, I still do. You had no corroborative witnesses to say I kidnapped him. You had no corroborative witnesses to say I tortured him. You had only the word of one deluded male. And yet on this basis you chose to pass judgement and find me guilty. Is that justice? No it is not. His word against mine, not good enough. You cannot PROVE I did it.

Among other slanderous things, you accused me of being a liar. Perhaps I am. But even if I have lied and did lie about everything else, that does not PROVE I was lying about the kidnap and torture. And what makes you so sure the male was not lying. He is a Drow after all and "all drow are liars"….your own words Reann. The fact that the male has, according to you, some sort of branding in the image of a spider also does not PROVE I did it. For all I know, and you for that matter, it could have been put there during some drunken orgy he now regrets. To pass judgement, Reann, you need PROOF. And you cannot PROVE a thing.

So Reann, I am going to be fair to you. Something you were not with me. Because I am fair minded and not a bitter individual, I am going to give you a chance to redeem yourself. I am going to let you JUSTIFY your title as JUSTICE.

I want a public announcement that I am innocent of all charges. A public apology that you wronged me and that I am now exonerated of all accusations. Let us see if you are HONOURABLE enough to do that. Prove to me you are not a hypocrite and a puppet.

Oh one last thing. Failure to do so may mean that I will take out proceedings to sue you personally, the city of Trinsic and the Duke as your employer for wrongful arrest, wrongful judgement and wrongful punishment.

[the Hooded Claw says its time for Trinsic to return to being a City of Honour and investigate such slander]

Spook Shady Dealings in Darkened Places Possibly Inhabited by the Shadows

The Hooded Claw - master of mystery has learnt that not only has recently returned from a long aand mysterious sleep Hutula Sanctos been out and about looking for Green-haired fop Muldran Skully but Blue haired black widow of death "how many husbands are buried under my castle" Tabbitha has been on the lookout for careless whisperer Callum Fitzhugh.

Gossip and rumour leads us to believe the Shadowcourt are in fact trying to destroy Sosaria and all its inhabitants and make a new life in a new galaxy far far away.

[what a galaxy is I dont know so dont ask]

Tales of Box Construction , Gates and Blackrock are abounding in the hidden snowy valley of Rhovanion where deranged lunatic Muldran Skully continues to meddle with Balckrock.

More Davions in Vesper?

Yes apparently so. What they are up to and why is their own business. A startled Vesperian told us "we are glad thems more Davions here!". Twothumb has also been seen giving more gold to the poor and commiting word jousts with blonde bombshell Jordan "my neck is a bit stiff from all that bowing" Jurrell.

Jurrel Enjoys Trinsic

Apparently Jordan Jurrel enjoyed the Trinsic Moot so much he attended twice! And he wants to pass on his thanks to the organisers! So well done to the Duke , Moiraine and all the Duchy for their hard work.Thanks to to anyone who helped make a great week in Trinsic [ we hear Twothumb himself was a big help as well ]

[and a big thankyou to the core creators for their hospitality and organization]

An artist sent in this ancient sketch and a secret benefactor has offered 5000 golden crowns if you can tell us "what happened next"

Rumours from the North

Lyonya Davion and Gerak of The Vesper Tradeing Company have shared more than drinks, Much to the dismay of her Uncle Hanse Davion.

It seems Erika Twothumb is not only plauged by the undead's questioners and the Covians looking for a new young woman to marry and breed with their Baron but she also seems to have caught the eye of Goldielocks himself Comander Jurrell! What Will her uncle say!

Still no sightings of the Baroness Twothumb. Missing for so long. Where ever can she be? A lovers tryst with a guard? A much needed seperation from her BADLY dressed and fashion challanged husband and Lord?

Is that a Vesper Fair on the horizon? I think it might be if the tales of the towns folk be true. And ofcourse everyone loves a fair!

Hooded Claw - Sounding the Last Poste?

Seems the other Poste writers have all been gagged and kidnapped. But not old Hooded Claw - thems will never catch me! SPring-HeeLLed Jack they calls me over there. So where is the other Poste writers ? Any information write to the Hooded Claw.

Warning to the eight towns of virtue from the royal britannian guard:

Recently the royal britannian guard was set to investigate on the latest developments of the craters, was found out that the crater in Yew and the one of Moonglow started to sparkle of an eeire blue light. Since the first discovery of the crater followed a massive outleash of murderous creatures, topped with the appearance, of the britain crater, of a huge terrible monster, it is advised that the local militias keeps there at least a guard to monitor the developments of the craters to be able to assess in time the possible threat coming from them.

Warning to the town of trinsic from the royal britannian guard:

The royal britannian guard is currently investigating in the city of trinsic about the illicit trade and craftmanship of blackrock pendant, to assess and find the secret organization behind it. Was found out that the meeting place of the shady dealer was right under, or I should say.. over the noses of the local guardsmen, over the mess hall where the guards eat. The city guards are advised to keep an eye open for shady dealers in there, thieves and the like. also magic users are advised to stay away from the mess hall of the barracks, as well as those sensible to blackrock effects, since there might be blackrock remains in there and might prove dangerous for health. For further questions about the matter contact Ravida.

Blow Up!

Seems the Royal Marksmen led by crazy man-wolf Devante have been at the pyrotechnics again – blowing up two buildings in Serpents Hold. More and more The Hooded Claw is hearing about fighting from Sosarias Snakeskin capital. It appears the Marksmen want Kaldor and sexy Commander Cal to leave the island due to their involvement in the Vesper and Minoc wars where they sided with the rebels. Serpents Hold was given to Kaldor by Blonde Bombshell Jordan Jurrel over a year ago. At the recent Moot, Jurrel denied that he had sanctioned any actions against Kaldor.

Rumours

What is the Duke's secret problem, we ask ourselves? Is there some hidden sorrow or enigma that drives him to seek solace and solutions in the aetherial realms? Following his presence at the tarot reading last week, ostentatiously not consulting the bewitching dreamer Alraune and her cards, we wondered whether there was some matter over which he did not wish to be seen to be concerned. After all, Ducal distress is not a matter for public airing, lest idle tongues should wag! However it seems that he slipped away from his duties one evening last week for a private consultation on some matter that we must assume is too delicate to discuss in a public session. Was the Lady Caroline involved? She was certainly present at the first reading, allowing her sensitive soul to be exposed to the bright light of cartomancy! We cannot tell what trials travail the Ducal heart, but sympathetic readers may make their own guesses!

Rumor has it those pesky brigands are at it again. By at it I mean breaking the law! Apparently they are now dipping their hands into slavery. Word has it that they kidnapped one of the elves of the Trinsic rose and sold the poor girl into slavery!

Letters to the Editor

Dear Poste I wonder if you can help us pass on a message because we do not know how to tell the Umbra University people this message. My beloved husband Ultimor and I have been travelling a bit but then there was the Moot in Trinsic and also some other business but we were wondering when it is that the University will be back from its holidays because it is very important to us to get educated and also those clever people might maybe rub some cleverness off on us. Anyway we wanted to say to that wise and clever Aryala lady that we hope she is well and that she has rested well and also Mr Muldran and Mr Callum and all those other people who have taught us lots of useful and interesting things and the University is very helpful in learning to be educated! Many thanks, Cerys Slowtree

Urgent News!

Error creating thumbnail: convert: unable to open image `/home/1/m/moongates/www/sub/wiki.moongates.org/images/4/48/Theposte-211106-1.jpg': No such file or directory.

Swagger's Inn.

I decided to call in the Swaggers for a quick mug of milk,and a chance to speak with the barmaid if she was on duty As I opened the door,I was taken aback to see none other than Lord Light sat there as large as life!! Greeting him warmly,it was good ro see his return. Nils Twothumb was inviting Light to take a seat whilst he relayed some news he had.

We all gathered ready to hear,but none of us were prepared for the chilling tale we were about to be told. Lord Light began by telling us how he had been studying a piece of blackrock and looking into the case of Ricardo.

Suddenly he heard some arcane words spoken behind him and before he fully knew what was happening,his tower was reduced to rubble,all his literature and research notes burnt in the blaze that struck.

Nils asked if he had chance to see who this person was before it all happened. Light went on to explain it was more a sense of knowing than seeing

"His magic made me feel sick...it was dark and.evil,reaking of death and decay." "So it could of been anyone", pondered Nils. "it was no commom man",went on Light,"his hand was cold to the touch,yet he was not dead.He breathed,yet didnt" Though his words,made little sense , I scribbled furiously as he next spoke of a vision of sorts he had, had. " I saw a small ciry,that looked like Vesper,Lord British walking through some woods with Lord Blackthorn. I saw a city become a swamp,and then as I tasted blood I saw the future.

I saw Moonglow,being covered by water,and the walls of luna crumbling....I heard the lands screaming....even the Virtues were thrown into dismay."

Suddenly as though awakening from a dream, he stopped and said he had to leave. He told us his life was in danger and he had seen many things including his own death. My heart was gripped with an icy cold from his words, as I offered him to remain with us and together we would all change this ' vision' and turn the tide of events he believed to be the future.

Speaking clearly now he informed myself,Nils,Erika,kimi and Lance, that his death was not to be for some time. However he would not hide in fear, but face and accept it. Nils remarked how some times seeing the future can be a blessing, and this just went to show others, that if they had pieces of blacktock,doing tests on it could prove fatal.

Lord Light remarked,he thought he had gotten to close to something,though could recall naught but the pain.A pain that would never leave ,so he could not interfere in ' his ' wok anymore,he said he was told. He explained how his companion,Aeron Gend,had found him and tended to him

Once more he became nervous and at this stage Aeron told us they must leave so he could take Lord Light to a safe place,where nne would find.

Lord Light promosed to send regular reports to the Oracle so we would know how he fared and his work.

Aeron opened a portway and bidding us farewell they both stepped through, lost to us for ever it would seem.

So this is my report on the matter as much as I am able to recall from the notes I made.

Regards Tabbitha Grandmaster Knights Hospitaller.

Happiness is a Haven Bench!

Peace in the sleepy town of Haven once more was disturbed by hooded people known as “Enforcers”, same who burned down shrine in the past. The Order of Haven, militia led by Darkion engaged them so order was quickly established again, even not without some casualties. Fortunately, with the exception of Grim Reapers, the plague of all Sosarian towns, this was isolated incident after long time, so senior citizens on benches, bank sitters and young people were able to return to their pondering.

Letters

Dear Poste,

I was most intrigued to read the poetry in last Wednesday's issue. I would appreciate it if the person who found the copy of said poem etched into the cave wall could contact me as soon as possible, as I may have information regarding the author.

Yesterday’s Poste contained an article referring to the “Elf of the Trinsic Rose” – Just to let you know that the Elven Guild occupies more than just the Trinsic Rose and has an entire quarter near to sunny Trinsic. SO not all Elves live in the Trinsic Rose. Thank you.

Serpent’s Hold Held!

...By Greenskirted Traitors

This week has seen some horrendous mishaps – only yesterday, on another of my attempted odysseys to Yew, my poor little footsie got rather stuck in the mud and I lost one of my most favourite shoes. It had a simply gorgeous slender heel, with a devilish mix of glitter and a stimulating splash of sequins. I shall have to buy at least a dozen more pairs by the time the week is out to get over my love of that little shoe.

In spite of my plight, it seems that ‘Daftie’ Devante has earned himself a sob story that maybe even tops my tale of woe. Armed with his trusty bow and hearty pride, he and his merry band of marksmen set off to capture the Kaldorian infested hole of Serpent’s Hold once and for all. Unfortunately for the poor old Captain, he didn’t get permission from Jordan Jurrel (doesn’t he just look dashing in that gleaming armour of his? He could certainly dip his quill in my inkwell any day!) to go ahead with the reckless invasion and, of course, they were a sorry state indeed.

The Kaldorian fleabags, hungry for victory and famous for their rigid ‘box’ formations and brutish axe waving, were quick to claim this easy battle as theirs. Learning from this predictable outcome, of course, the marksmen then came at the greenskirts once again in a much similar manner and were battered senseless once again. It was at this point that the Captain brought out his most devious tactical plan and… ran into the pointy objects the Kaldorians were holding once again. Oh dear.

Battered and bruised, the marksmen returned home. The Kaldorians, it seems, can keep their rat-infested hell-hole of Serpent’s Hold… at least for now.

Bar Staff Battered!

Frightful happenings in Vesper…

Further shock and dismay! The much loved (by Rebel scumbags and off-duty Loyalists alike) Swaggers Inn in Vesper was broken into most viciously by 4 unidentified suspects. A flustered barmaid was reported to have run off to find some local sober guards – who was she kidding?

Choosing the proactive method of robbing, the brigands were quick to wound barmaid Becca’s new ‘best friend’ Hedlyn ap Rhyn and also Tom Black. Considering this as a little too peaceful for their liking, Hanse’s Niece Lotnya Davion was smacked violently as an afterthought. Happiy, Rebecca ran off and left her chums to bleed alone, so at least one barmaid’s left to serve the drinks!

A reward of 10, 000 coins has been offered to any local vigilantes and mercenaries who can bring the suspects to the Vesperian jail, although the preferred vital condition of the suspects was not specified. According to Rebecca, who is offering the reward, the dastardly robbers looked a little bit like..

I don’t know about you, dear readers, but that ‘orc’ look just makes me swoon! If you’re approached by any of these individuals, please refrain from running away in terror – smack ‘em over the head with a frying pan and drag them to jail!

Rumours

It’s been mentioned so often lately that it has to be published. Don’t you think the Duchy Guard of Trinsic are just the most benevolent and delightful force ever to grace the land of Sosaria? We certainly think so, and we give extra special notice to the lovely Kaelyn, who has promised so kind-heartedly to let the Poste Office stay in Trinsic despite its overwhelming debt. Of course, donations are always welcome!

All's Well?

Post-Moot-Glow starting to wane?

It has been a couple of weeks, and everyone's favourite intermittent rag-writer has noticed that love may have been in the air once upon a time, but tight now? Well, it's feeling a little loveless. Darlings, we had it all. Cakes. Parties. Cal Soulshadow in a dress. But no, we had to blow it all and dive down into the doldrums. Once more, the heave-ho and to-and-fro of daily life is starting to drag us down into the bitter, closed off angry little people that we are.

There's still trouble brewing on Serpents Hold (but then again, since many of the Yewish commanders chose not to mix with the peasants and posh-ones of the Moot, your disappointed reporter assumes they didn't want to give peace a chance anyway.) There's rumours of nastiness from within Trinsic as a cabal of secret troublemakers have apparently set up shop there to distract Commander Jurrel.

All in all - your darling reporter thinks that she's probably better off going for a little lie down until the next moot comes round; or at least until some other society woman throws a fancy bash.

Blackrock Menace Grows

The Poste asks: Should Blackrock be Reclassified?

Moving from realms of rumour into the lands of reality are several reports that have been bouncing around the lands in the last two days. Apparently, swarms of strange, black-speckled creatures have been sweeping from popular mining locations in the Lost Lands. Add that to the reports the Poste is now receiving word that people are being able to mine up large chunks of blackrock... Your worried reporter recalls that only a small amount of this substance has been known to cause internal combustion to the extent of throwing limbs through walls. What could a large chunk do?

The magical community is in a frenzy; many mages are employing miners of varying reliability to hazard their lives, and then paying them handsomely when they bring back their jumbo-sized chunks.

However a few other mages have been paying out sums to angry widows.

There is also division, however. Former supporter of Blackrock experimentation Muldran Skully has become noticeably greener around the gills (even under that hair) and was seen nipping into Trinsic the other night looking vaguely unsettled. Withdrawing something from the bank, and mumbling a few words about "Upset stomach" or possibly "Demonic Infestation", Skully withdrew, glancing fearfully at a band of happy mages crowing over their latest acquisition.

With demonstrations expected due to the Ruling Council's inability to do anything to protect the populace from this growing menace, the Poste sees a troubled time ahead for the central authority of the lands.

Letters

Dear Poste,

I'm a source close to Grenadier Corporal Morana and I must protest as to the light your rumour-mongering reporter has painted this Covian hero! Just because this chiseld and brutishly handsome fellow has taken on a cutie of an apprentice and the tongues start wagging! I must also strongly protest to the word prance and grenadier being used in the same paragraph let alone sentence.

Yours a very disgruntled,

Rai *scribbles out* Reader!

Umbra Univeristy a Hit

Umbra University a hit.

The lecture last night was given by no less a personage than the University's hostess, Lady Aryala, on the subject of the necromantic order of Umbra, its history and philosophy. Apart from the usual collection of seekers of knowledge shady characters crept in to doze on the benches, the University welcomed Trinsic's guard captain Kaelyn. Since she has also been organising lessons for the children of Trinsic, this young lady shows a sympathy for learning unusual in one of her calling.

The lecture covered a great deal of ground, but the speaker refuted the commonly held idea that death is a force in itself. She stated that her order collaborates with consenting spirits who willingly cooperate in return for continued access to the material world. Once again the audience were enlightened and enriched by the experience, and retired afterwards to the bar to be refreshed by the excellent selection of beverages kept by Thorpe the barkeeper.

It is to be hoped that Kaelyn is not the only person in the major cities who is willing to suspend their prejudices and risk learning something that might challenge them!

[thanks to Cat of Europa for the picture]

I have yet to receive a full report on this but from the eye-witness accounts mention “carnage” “mutilation” “despair” and an awful lot of earth was eaten by many a brave adventurer. Lady Flame made a call to arms and many heeded her call – despite their differences and for the glory of Soaria they came , they fought and they fell to these new invincible fighting machines. Rumor has it a new assault will be tried soon.

We will try and bring you more news as it happens.

Serpents Hold

Recently this reporter has steered clear of Serpents Hold – the Kaldorian stronghold – as rumours abound of fighting there between the Kaldorians and the Royal Marksmen. It seems that Kaldor, famed for its fighting prowess has managed to withstand a few attacks by the Marksmen who have suffered quite a mauling. Attacking men in skirts is never wise Devante …

Trinsic Tales

A brigand was seen in and around the moongate area near the City of Trinsic recently and Kaelyn – the Duchys finest – was almost on his tail when he fled into the moongate. The Trinsic Rose continues to thrive and the legendary Elf hospitality has made it a warm welcome for all.

Lonely Heart?

Is Kain Twothumb seriously still alone? Rumours about his wife Taenu Ver have been rife across the lands. Has she fallen under the spell of some long lost necromancer or has she been kidnapped by one of Vesper’s own? Surely a man such as Kain should have a wife at his side to help him – and in Taenu he did have someone very strong and very sensible. Hopefully Kain will find his wife soon alive and well.

Wheres She Gone?

Phaedra Quaintly sister of beloved big busted bonkers bright-eyed busty broad Gwyn Quaintly is also still missing. Presumably she’s having a whale of a party somewhere with lover boy and ex Darkcloak Venom “Im going to scare you to death boy” D’Orsay

Muldrans Madness?

A trip out with Sosarias band of fearsome adventurers and scholars is planned tomorrow night. The elusive and misunderstood Shadow Court is delving deep into the dirt in search of something … rumour has it they are planning their biggest Arcane ritual next and need fearless cannon-fodder to keep their mages safe whilst they carry out the necessary deed.

Callum in a Cave?

Sighted entering a cave to the lost lands was red-haired drama queen callum Fitzhugh in the company of green-haired foppish dandy Muldran and those sensible Knights Hospitaller Tabbitha, Kismet La Rue and Thom.

"It was something to do with time travel and gates" a Vesperian onlooker told us later. "He said he wanted to chuck it all in Nokmor Gate... or something like that" Shadow Court – heros or villains?

Rumours

Stopping first at Cove it seems that their shoving anyone with an Officer's badge nowa days as most have a bad case of either 'Man lover-i-tis' or depression! According to my most reliable sources their Officers will cry at the drop of a flower. Over sensitive, huh? Nevertheless entertaining so if your bored and want to pass time grab a box of tissues and head to Cove to listen to their somber storys of how their loved ones have disappeared or want them dead.

And where is their beloved Baron recently? As far as I've heard handsome hunk Vince Valentine has been taking over their promotions parades instead of Octiovus! What with Tabbitha pushing the weight of the yearly Winter Festival on the Covian's shoulders you would think he would at least throw a few plates and forks in her direction.

Letters

Dear Rai-Reader,

Thank you very much for your concerned letter regarding Raiden Morana! However sweet-pea I only use information which is accurate so I do believe in such a case you are wrong. As for using the word 'prance' and 'Grenadier' in the same sentence - Oh, i'm sorry petal in future I will use something more appropriate like 'skipped' or 'frolicked'. Do keep writing in though as a poste addition without someone moaning is like like pancakes without syrup!
