Was there really a murder? Or is a little .. ahem, poetic licence involved? Perhaps the perpetrator of these lines needs a little practice in writing verse in the Mannish idiom? Help him if you can!

Post Title:
Cart Crashing in the Market Square
Author: Warin
Date posted: Apr 24 2018
The wind off the lake was heavy today and blew Reen the Basket Seller's stall into a farmwife's veggie cart. Warin traded a fresh caught trout for a smashed pumpkin, gained a new title or two from Brev (like "Bearer of the Leaky Load"), and then wandered off with Rhircyn the old Beggar to find someone who will trade cooking and a night in the stables for their fish and squashed squash.


Post Title:
Golden treasure!
Author: Brev
Date posted: Apr 25 2018
What's more, I can tell you what Warin said. Did you hear it? No? As I recall, he said he was emissary to the Eagles and then claimed they'd led him to golden treasure! Or something like that. He definitely said he was the keeper of golden treasure.

What gives a layabout like him the right to something like that? Way I see it, someone should force him to confess where it's hid!


Post Title:
Elves in the Dale-Lands
Author: Rhircyn
Date posted: May 01 2018
The wandering ex-blacksmith Rhircyn came across a nomadic elven woman by the name of Lauarien this evening. They exchanged few words, though she revealed she still feels a debt to Men. Rhircyn speaks of her to any who will listen, describing a woman in simple traveling clothes, though with patterns of vines and leaves throughout.


Post Title:
Murder in the Market Square?
Author: Bardur
Date posted: May 02 2018
The following little ditty has been heard recently round town:
Murder in the Market Square
Of one who direst deeds did dare:
The rain dripped down, the blood ran red,
Within the mirk a Man lay dead.

A fearful fate - yet fully earned
For on his fellow Men he turned:
With heavy hand did healer pound
And strike her, struggling to the ground.

Her stalwart guard, a stubborn shield
Stepped in the way and would not yield.
Till Watchmen wise, their weapons drawn
Brought an end to brainless brawn!

Was there really a murder? Or is a little .. ahem, poetic licence involved? Perhaps the perpetrator of these lines needs a little practice in writing verse in the Mannish idiom? Help him if you can!

Those wishing to know more about events might do well to seek out the Girion guard ALGER and his lady wife, the mercurial healer AILITH (played by Thorald)
