Terrorism in Ves
General month of Siegmund’s End, 1728
The month of Sigismund’s End was blemished in violence with the terrorist attacks in the middle of the Saint’s day. Earlier in the month, reiver bandits attacked unarmed civilians and the Army of Kaedrin routed and slayed them. Weeks later, during a game of chess between Brother Napoleon and Her Majesty Queen Annabelle, a heretic stabbed the queen and was subsequently bludgeoned to death. Two or more alleged affiliates of the assailant set fire to the Holy Cathedral of St. Adrian. One has been caught and executed and one confirmed heretic remains on the run. If you have information on the heretics who committed this orchestrated terrorist attack, please let the local authorities know as soon as possible.

 

Depiction of the fire inside the cathedral
 
 

The Queen is recovering since the attack thanks to the quick heroic efforts of Brother Napoleon with limited medicine resources. The Crown and the Vessian City Government would also like to send our beloved gratitude to the civilians and clergymen who help put out the flames at the Cathedral while the army was out killing reiver bandits. While repairs are needed, both the wayshrines of St. Thomas and St. Catherine miraculously survived the fire. Rejoice!

 

Donate proceeds to repairing the Cathedral of St. Adrian to any priest at the Monastery of St. Robert or to His Holiness himself.

The public services the Abbey of Saint Robert offers the people of Ves are great and a new generation of priests and nuns have been cultivated diligently with the tireless work of the priests. These deeds have not gone unnoticed and as of THE SECOND GOLDEN BULL OF VES, His Holiness has bestowed upon the Abbey the additional title of Abbey-Seminary and will act as the universal school of the Minor Order of Acolytes.

City Assembly News 
9th Horen’s Calling, 1729
 

Conducted by Mayor Odus, the assembly first acknowledged the death of Robert Rovin II while on campaign. With no known heirs, his seat on the electorate has gone to Hans Rovin. GOD BLESS ROBERT ROVIN II.

 

With the absence of Wybert Murcaster and the idleness of his role as Magistrate General, Mayor Odus officiated a vote of no confidence with the electorate which was passed and the seat of Magistrate General was made vacant. Five nominees were proposed for the seat: Jaanos Adric, Frederick Armas, Ser Oskar Von Tirpitz, James Lucio and unknown Easterner. With the easterner not actually present and Frederick Armas declining the king’s nomination, this left voting participants to decide between James Lucio, Jaanos Adric or Ser Oskar von Tirpitz with the latter coming in victorious in the popular vote.

GOD BLESS MAGISTRATE GENERAL SER OSKAR VON TIRPITZ.

 

Following the voting session of the assembly, Mayor Odus opened the floor for the proposal of legislation. The following proposals have been heard by the city government and will be brought before His Majesty. @Fishy

Cultists Beneath the City
15-17th of the Sun’s Smile, 1729
A multiple day venture through the sewers of Ves lead a group of soldiers and priests to discovering a den of cultists lurking under the city. In cramped, hazardous conditions the priests were forced to stay behind but the soldiers ventured onwards to annihilate and burn all heretics found.

An unfortunate incident occurred that lead to the death of one captured civilian intended as a human sacrifice for some unholy idol and the Army of Kaedrin sends its regards to the woman’s family. Her name has not been disclosed.The Army of Kaedrin is happy to report that one captive of the cultists, city laborer Yahya,  was rescued but was gravely injured and is recovering from the incident. The Vessian-Farfolk community thanks the Army of Kaedrin.

 

Business Highlight

 

Replacing the Bird and the Bard Tavern, Durant Goldhand is building a casino expected to open sometime next year in 1730. The growing popularity of dice poker in the city of Ves has spurred a renewed interest in the pasttime and the so far unnamed casino is expected to make a killing in profits should this interest continue. (Contact @Papa Liam for employment and assisting in its construction!)

 

Mayor Odus wishes to remind everyone to gamble moderately and to not throw their family’s inheritance away.
 

News from the Frontier

Bandits Slain by the Dozens 
Reports from the outskirts of the Kingdom and the greater Empire state the continued successes of our Army against the growing threats of banditry. Despite these successes, however, we encourage everyone to abide by the Travel Advisory issued by the Empire. Try to keep off roads and do not roam alone, especially at night time.

 

The victories over banditry have curbed the rates of attacks on innocent civilians and commerce has been undisturbed for the most part. However, banditry is still a large problem in our Imperium so the Kingdom of Kaedrin remains ready to combat them to the end.

Durant nods. A good point, the casino hadn’t even been given a name yet.

“The Snake’s Den,” he’d proclaim, expecting to open this new gambling institution within the week.

 

Durant also enjoyed the publication, especially learning about the legislative propositions. He had expressed interest prior in the media industry. . .
