Haus squints as he reads on the section of himself, somewhere buried within his own work. "...Awful. Truly - Brewing magics? International criminal?!" He exclaimed to his work, a simple report, "-At least they had the dignity to put down apparent. Perhaps I owe a word to these scribes, Don't I-" He turns, to finds his rambles are given to the empty air. His anger slowly subsides, and he pauses from his work to rub at his tired brow. For a brief moment, he feels aimless admist his penance - though eventually the report before him draws him back in, like a branch to a tired bird.

*This letter would be distributed out amongst the likes of the Murkwater Merchant Company, Sixth Synod, or wayward Allies* A Wildwynns Welcome 8th of the Grand Harvest, 178 SA A Sole Grave Day That was the allotted time I waited before I received word from the former Herald, who to the fellow artisans who tread upon our path of Umbrage, relinquished his holdings in Lumbridge and titles. The title of this enkindled path, now passed properly onto myself. To Malag the Reborn, in particular. The former Herald of Umbrage, let me make it perfectly known to the world within this letter; that I bear respect to your choice in this matter. Should you ever seek scholarly insight, work of worth, or merely desire a duel of deals. Know that your presence is welcome within my halls of gold and umbral fire, and your wisdom on how to not repeat past mistakes, greeted with open arms. With this new title, comes a new vested power, and a required task of myself to uphold. The task of unification. For as the start of this Renaissance began with Soul and Bone, so shall it continue to be such. Thus I cordially invite all who share this same path, to my dominion of Minas Mordren. Whether you seek to understand my ideals for the future, challenge the prospect of my claim, or merely satisfy the curiosity as to who I am. I welcome you all to my halls of gilded stone, and unhallowed flame. Radiant is the Black Sun, and Enlightening is the Grim Renaissance Signed Reynard Delmar, Lord of Crows, Herald of Umbrage

One young, cursed Marus Weiss read the paper with a grasp upon his features and dismay in his hear! He grasped the paper with am embarrased squeak. "N-nie! Now e-everyone will know!" He wailed. "M-maybe ea can use e-extra soap?"

Siegmund Weiss looked to the paper whilst they patrolled around the city streets. "Vy had better hope that curse washes off." He chuckled as he leaned over to show him the bit that mentioned him. "Or maybe vy have to find it ag apologize?" @Frostdrop1

Cosi was entirely concerned for the memory of the to-be-King. It mattered not. If her skygod was free that day, she was going to piggy-back off Olivier's invite regardless!

ISSUED 10TH OF GRONNA AG DROBA OF 527 E.S. Penned The Black Company Scribes Founded by Rhys var Ruthern I, Count of Metterden over two centuries ago, the Black Company has stood the test of time being one of the longest-lasting and well-known vassal levy’s within the Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. Since its founding of yore, the company has expanded past its simple levy duties and branched out into trade and entrepreneurship, the creation of Black Company Trading as a mercantile shop and now The Hammerhead, relaying continent-wide information to the Haeseni people. Within the last year, the Kingdom of Haense has been subject to a string of attacks from the spawn of Iblees, Frost Witches! These craven women appear in a normal, pale form of a female, although within they are a heinous creature - abominations of the world. Their ability to manipulate ice and snow has increasingly threatened the Northern Kingdom. One of Haense’s own, Firress Amari Morozov-Tabbris was attacked within the refugee camp of Morteskvan though she was healed with care. Should anyone come across these villains of ice, the protection of fire and aurum will keep you safe and give you an advantage in a fight. Should anyone find suspect a Haeseni citizen of being one of these abominable creatures, be sure to report your concern and evidence to the Lord Marshal Rickard of Vidaus or Cardinal Villorik, Patriarch of Jorenus so an investigation may be conducted. An artist's rendition of the Karoswood of Haense. Without warning and on a random afternoon, the White Comet was called to assist Pontiff Caius I during the capture and arrest of the formerly named Haus Weiss within the city capital of Numendil, an international criminal with apparent darkspawn links. Through cunning and alchemic means, Haus was disconnected from his brewing magic and lead to the Holy See in handcuffs where the clergy voiced their opinions on how to handle the man. For now, the location and status of Haus is unknown, though all may rest assured that he is in the capable hands of the White Comet. Any further updates will be disclosed at a later date. Wzuvar ag Byvca ❅ Jula ag Piov ❅ Vzmey ag Hyff ❅ Grona ag Droba ❅ Tov ag Yermey ϟ Msitza ag Dargund ❅ Joma ag Umund ❅ [!] A sketch of a crow perched upon a branch. With Mistress Ingrid The Wopperklaw may be a curious sign, though it is recommended within this moon cycle, those associated with this sign remain cautious of the unknown. Shadows linger in the dark and the Wopperklaw may be even more susceptible to tricks of the light. Albeit difficult for this sign, it is imperative that loyalty to those close are maintained. Marital troubles may be more common. Practice breathing and meditation indoors and away from the prying eyes of nature. Unlike its starsign ally, those falling under the Crow will find themselves in luck! The Crow's acuteness to wisdom is even more important. The sage advice of the Crow will be more specific and impactful this coming year. Be attracted to shiny objects and welcome days of rest while your luck is still in favor. Beware the color green as it may distract you from what is important and your purposes for the moon cycle. Lord Karl Weiss of Novkursain & Lord Davyz Colborn of Malkovya [!] An investigative artist's rendition of the Great Pipeweed Plume of 527 E.S. Just mere hours after a bill proposed by the Lord Marshal Rickard of Vidaus on the banishment of drugs passed through His Majesty's Royal Duma, the Grand Prince of Kusoraev himself was caught with a bundle of suspicious pipeweed affiliated drugs and intoxicants. As punishment for his dealings, Queen Nataliya herself ordered Prince Marius to apologize publicly to the people of New Valdev and cast away his drugs into a flaming pyre. . .what happened next might shock you! As the drugs were burned, all those who found themselves within Aleksandrplatz overwhelmed with a high so potent, several claimed to be seeing flying cows. One such citizen was the young Lord Davyd Colborn. We asked several questions of young Davyd about the event and what exactly the young Lord experienced: The first question of our investigation into this potent plume was to ask what Davyd remembered of the incident, his response being, “I do remember. The world was spinning, and for a moment, I could have sworn I was a dragon riding through the sky…” “Until it happened, I had never once considered it a possibility. . .I shall never approach a pyre again. STAY AWAY FROM PYRES! I saw a young Ludovar burn his entire hand, thinking the flames were a woolen carpet. HIS WHOLE HAND!" Here at The Hammerhead we have heard many sides to the story, many of those including what people saw during their high-flying experience, namely floating cows and floating daemons, though Lord Colborn had a unique experience of his own. “I can barely describe it; one moment, everything was normal, and then the next, everything was made out of wool, changing from whites to blues, pinks, and the various colors of the rainbow. Everything was so soft. . .what are the sheep made out of? A voice called in my head and told me they are made from cows. COWS! It made no sense and all the sense at the same time!" When questioned on the recent bill passed by the Duma in regards to the banning of drugs, Lord Colborn gave his approval, though a follow up question exhibited an interesting reaction: “Are you with the BSK? You know that if you’re with the BSK, you must tell me, right? I don’t do drugs, and everyone knows I don’t do drugs; ask Svetlana! She can VOUCH for me! I do not permit you to search me unlawfully if you’re from the BSK. That means you can’t search my body. That’s what the law says!” While we await the assent of the Crown on the ban of narcotic drugs, we appeal to the Haeseni people to remember the core values of our faith and our nation's morals. Should you come in contact with anyone in the business of selling these drugs or in possession of them, we urge you all to report to your nearest Brotherhood Officer. ✔ Barrowmount Mining Permits Calling all those who seek entrance to the mines of the Barrowmount! The abundant presence of daemonsteel (OOC: Netherite) found within the caves of Artzov has welcomed in a prosperous fortune for those who have gained entrance to the mine. Should any wayward wanderer or ambitious entrepreneur seek passage into the mine found within the Duchy of Vidaus, they needn’t do more than seek out the Duchess of Vidaus for a permit. Contact: Tatiyana vas Ruthern, Duchess of Vidaus. Following the Coronation of our newly crowned King Ivan VIII and Queen Nataliya, there was very little rest our monarchs took to reinstate a new government along with a string of reforms. Electing a new Palatine (Ivo Radovanic), Lord Marshal (Rickard var Ruthern), Lord Speaker (Heinrik Amador) and Lord Treasurer (Mikhail Colborn) it is without doubt that the Crown is riding with the momentum of their Coronation. After some urgency petitioned within his Majesty’s Royal Duma, the Edict of Cleansing (524 ES) has washed away the mechanical plague which once held the town of Waltonburg within its Owynist claws. Named Lord Protector by the Covenant of Man, King Ivan has continued on his quest to stand firm and rid the realm of evils. Furthermore, we await even more news to come from the newly constructed palace and look forward to this new reign. Krusae Zwy Kongzem! NEUVE CO. Located just at the entrance of New Valdev, Neuve Co. is a quant stall offering a limited amount of wares which include hand crafted jewelry items as well as gilded weapons which stand out amongst the crowd. After perusing the stalls offered good, we at The Hammerhead happily endorse this business as this edition's Crown Street Spotlight. With a large range of items, the possibilities are many. Perhaps you are a wayward knight in search of a ceremonial blade but your far off maiden desires a jewel. Well you are in luck! Pick up a Sapphire Halo ring and a Standard Denodado Glaive and fight your way back to her. Nueve Co., Stall IV. Following an arrest of the prolific drug dealer by the name of Magnolia the Magic, newly initiated Brotherhood troops returning from an oath hunt found themselves face to face with a big - also known as a Sprite! Capturing the interest of the Brotherhood, soldiers began to investigate and interact with the creature, its wings buzzing the creature out of the air before it was promptly grabbed and captured by one young Marus Weiss! Upon the capture of the bug whose name turned out to be Bug, the knowledge that even touching a sprite will cause infertility! It was just after the news of this curse that Marus Weiss flew the sprite away - who was then kidnapped by an unknown woman and taken into the depths of Little Midden. Results of the investigation of the sprite’s whereabouts and young Marus’s curse remain pending. The Kingdom of Hanseti-Ruska. Our home. Our way of life; but this doesn’t come free.

Charles literally forgot even though he asked his wife-to-be whether someone is missing and she pointed out the absence of Cosima, perhaps the Crown Prince will send a separate invite once he reminds himself of this mistake...

The Bride's Lady-in-wait, JENNÈT OF TEPÉS, set about the quest of congratulating the Chamberlain. Ever in pursuit of her shadow, she towed along with ready palms and a taciturn tongue.

Siegmund von Reuss, ran a hand through his gray matted hair, "Wipe that look off your face and help me prepare." The man, who neared his own senile years, grumbled.

Marlene of Merryweather, nearing her senile years, sat SHOCKED at the breakfast table

The young Prince would smile waving the invitation "Gracius days, finally Charles is to be married! Let us both walk into this new path and reality of our lives with blessed days and close kin" Alexandros then placed the invitation on a frame at his office ensuring to mark the date
