The Turbulent Times

Issue #1

A Deal is Struck!

n an apparently brilliant move by the King of Gwent, an alliance was formed between the states of Lerion and Gwent. The word around Gwent is that a large sum of money and promise of troops secured the alliance (see related story - this page). The purpose of such an alliance is unclear but the potential advantages are sure to encourage the common man. Official word on this agreement is expected from the King's court anytime now.

Sources have it that the proposal of the king was hand delivered by none other than the King's champion, Eira. It is also reported that Afan, a local merchant, and Bos, that tower of a man seen around town, left with Eira. However, Bos did not return with them and instead Eira and Afan were joined by two new journeyman who, this bard has learned, are Gailen (see wedding announcements) and Alric the mystery man. We have learned that Bos was not killed and is doing well. In fact he may be carving out a piece of history for himself.

The details of their journey is sketchy but you can be sure to read it here when the stories break.

Wedding Bells?

Helping the King appears to have its advantages. Gailen, of the Peaks, hasn't been in town for even a few days and he already has the Kings blessing to take his daughter's hand. Details of the wedding have not been released but you can count on a royal event.

A CALL TO ARMS!!

We knew it was coming. It was only a matter of time. The Saxons have stolen from us and have killed our women and children. No doubt they are organizing an all out assault on us as you read this. That is why the King needs your help. Whether you are a patriot or in need of the money if you prove yourself you can become one of the King's elite forces. You can sign up at the captain of the guard's quarters. Make no mistake we are at war and your country is depending on you.

Grain to be taken to Lerion

You may experience a slight increase in the price of grain this season. Our new allies in Lerion are experiencing the wrath of the Saxons. The reports indicate that villages are being ransacked by the Saxons and that whole countrysides are being wiped out. So expect a shortage in supplies and prepare for it.

Sightings of White-Horned Horse spark concern

Several local woodsmen have come forward and tell a tale of a large, white, horned, horse in the woods here near Gwent. No one knows what this creature might be but the popular opinion is that it is a messenger of some kind. We will just have to wait to see if it has anything to say.

- Gaerwin

The Opinion Column

In these pages we print your opinions. Let us know what you think. If you can't write than come over to our scribes and they will dictate for you. Please keep your opinions on the king and our wonderful country to yourselves, unless they are good - no point in loosing our heads now.

 

I am glad that giant fellow [Bos] is gone. He scared me.

- Mari

Saxons have relations with their horses!

- Pogue

Who is that new guy with Eira? He looks like a Saxon. What are all those strange symbols on his staff? Shouldn't we be concerned about this?

-Concerned

How come there are so many rats around here? Can't anyone do something about these things? Are they good to eat?

- Archibald

Who were those idiots up on the mountain with that bonfire?

- Raul

The Rumours Abound

Bow to King Bos?! It is rumored that the reason Bos did not come back was because he found an opportunity to take over Ceri as King. If this is true then it would certainly mean that he is not as dumb as he made others believe. A related rumor has it that there is a call to available men for hire in that area. I sure would hate to be his taylor.

A Deal with the Devil. There has been talk for some time now that Goblins are responsible for the turn of fortune for the British in South Saxon. If this is true then we owe them our gratitude for surely we would have lost that land in just a short time. The question remains what happens when the Saxons are gone?

The gods must be smiling. The origin of this rumor is unknown but it is said that a small group of adventurers are responsible for gaining the favor of the gods for Britain. Eira is said to be one of those.

Enemy mine. There are whispers that there is a traitor among us here in Gwent. Let it be known that the people of Gwent are watching.

A champion's champion. Eira's feats have not gone unnoticed. She is supposed to have dispatched of a squadron of Saxons by herself. If only there were more like her.

Obituaries

Ode to Oswald. Oswald was hired by Afan, the merchant, a few weeks ago but is now no longer with us. He died a warrior's death defending Afan. The exact details are not known.

The Monster Corner

We have all heard of the stories of wondrous and mystical creatures. Some we have no doubt exist but others make us wonder what plant the person ate that told the story. This section is to provide information to you just in case you ever run into one of these creatures. This weeks creature is a Troll. Trolls are described as being large (about 12 feet), ugly, strong and smelly. They are usually found in small groups and are formidable foes. If you see any creature with this description……..RUN!
