| CITY TENSIONS, MISSING REGENTS, AND UPCOMING FESTIVALS [1956PC]    |
| ___                                                                |
| |  \ aynald the Lord and Sir Ashuga have engaged in a publicly     |
| |__/ released dispute which cast light on the relationship between |
| | \  the Castle and the Empire. The new Councilman, Raynald Blade, |
| |  \ has taken the position that the White Wolf must fully         |
|      withdraw from Val Miran and leave jurisdiction of the city in |
| the hands of the Empire.  Ashuga, in turn, attempted to ensure the |
| people that the Castle is fully committed to the cause of serving  |
| the innocent, even when the Law "gets in the way" and protects     |
| those whose criminal intent has not yet been proven.  Ashuga did   |
| not confirm, however, that the White Wolf was even a sub-entity of |
| the Castle at all, and says that the White Wolf is not under the   |
| authority of the Castle.  That being said, a question emerges as   |
| to who actually controls the White Wolf now, and if they should be |
| disbanded for lack of a realistic chain of command, or simply      |
| renamed.  Duke Leothyre has not been available to comment, but if  |
| there are concerns, he is currently the highest source.            |
|                                                                    |
| The Castle, of course, has bigger problems -- the Crown Regent,    |
| Naruthiron, has gone missing according to a recent bout of search  |
| ledgers that have begun to show up in various taverns and public   |
| meeting spots across Aabahran.  His face is common even as far as  |
| Gal Ranidon on posters claiming he was last seen as far back as    |
| 1879, a good seventy years ago.  While no reward has been offered, |
| the Knights are in a hot pursuit for a potentially dead man, or a  |
| clever man who, for whatever reason, does not wish to be found.    |
|                                                                    |
| In other news, Brambus the famed and prolific inventor of Tarandue |
| has made it known that new inventions and schemes will debut for   |
| public marvel soon.  Tribunal is in the process of signing a       |
| contract with a festival planner named Ellix which will ensure a   |
| safe environment for the revealing of the invention.  New weapons, |
| armors, and other prizes will be offered as prizes for a variety   |
| of games in varying levels of difficulty, says Ellix, and there    |
| may be an auction, rides, or perhaps even a grand battle royale.   |
| The date of the Invention Festival has not yet been provided, but  |
| the festival is planned to last several weeks so that everyone who |
| intends to participate has a decent chance.                        |
|                                                                    |
