An Update on the Petran Trout

Despite the recent struggle of the Petran Trout the temporary ban on net fishing still in effect has helped lead to a significant resurgence of the fish within the river. Though this has helped the majestic creature rebound it must be noted that the trout still do not use the rocky gravel shallows of the River Petra for the production of smaller trout like they should likely do given it is the ideal environment for such. Though steady progress has been made more will need to be done on a community wide level in order to see the fish brought back fully from the brink.

Magical City Manifests

A new city has popped up in the commonwealth, the mages have finally, after many years brought the vision of their city to life! People flock from all across Aevos to see the mighty place. Some of the comments heard about the city have been: “wow” “amazing” and stunned silence. The city is welcoming to all people who wish to learn of the arcane, keep your eyes out for events hosted by the city in the coming weeks!

New Stalls

From within our great city we have had many changes, one of which is the creation of more market space for the burgeoning merchant class within the city. Stalls of both River Run and Star of the Republic contain more than enough space for merchants of small and large variety. It is the opinion of this newspaper that more of the Petran Commonwealth’s citizens should step into the market in an attempt to strike it big, be it with jewelry, ore, narcotics, and many other great commodities. Prices for these stalls go initially for 30 mina and are taxed about 20 mina a saint week.

An Interview with the Chancellor

 

Interviewer: Do you have any projects coming up within the Commonwealth?

 

Konstantin: The Solland Settlement Act is nearing completion, which will hopefully stimulate economic development, alongside settlements of the regions outside of Vallagne.

 

Interviewer: Could you go more in depth on a project?

 

Konstantin: The Solland Settlement Act, despite its name, encompasses the regions surrounding Vallagne. These being of course, Solland, alongside Notrebanc and Mardonland. At current, there are a few vassals landed throughout the region, though ample farmlands still need to be tended. Thus, the aim of the act is to encourage intrepid Petran settlers to take advantage of this fact, and establish farmsteads or small hamlets. It is aimed primarily to families, veterans of the River Guard, and any who seek to eke out their existence outside of the capital. For any reader paying attention, I may be willing to fund the first few farmstead payments from my own bank, this is how much I desire to see the project thrive!

 

Interviewer: Do you have anything else you might wish to say to anyone within our great commonwealth?

 

Konstantin: The Commonwealth is a land filled with diverse peoples and opinions. As Chancellor I’ve tried to seek out the good denizens of the realm, though I always encourage any with questions, desires to find work within the government or just if they wished to discuss policy to send me a bird. I do not bite, and I recently had a very good conversation with a man of Chambery who, despite our disagreements in policy, did remind me of the ideals upon which the Commonwealth stands. I hope to help steer to maintain these ideals in the coming years.

Upcoming Garmont Bills

As of current there are two Garmont bills publicly put out to the assembly for members to see. One bill which seeks to bring a site of recent national sadness to be turned into something which can be remembered for generations to come and brought to be something which shall never be forgotten. The other bill is one which seeks to uproot the mayor’s office, trying to both push out the current mayor and vastly limit what they might do. Such it is in this paper and its contributor’s opinions that this second bill will lead to naught but bureaucratic bloat.

Ask the Mayor

It is the idea of this section that I wish for any of the dear readers of this paper to have their questions answered in future editions, all I ask is that these questions be birded to me and I will do my best to answer the most pertinent of these.

Advertisements

Imagine, your advertisement in this very section, future volumes are hoped to be funded in part by ads which the people may submit for 25 mina, 15 if you are a noble of Petra or own a home within the commonwealth. Such ads will be reviewed though I suspect any which some may wish to put out will be approved with haste.

"NYEK NYEK NYEK, ICH AM A GENIUS!"

[Hom 1987]

Atticus Lucien reads the paper over at his kitchen table, tea in hand- Smiling at the new development of Petran Press! Truly an impressive cultural development. Until he gets to a certain section, and his brow furrows. "Bureaucratic bloat? It's a bit more thought-out than that-" He grumbles slightly.
