The Ministry Of Information

[CommunistSpy 441]

Throughout the docks, various posters, fliers, leaflets, and notes are pinned to trees, walls, or the message board. The insignia is of a new group, calling themselves the "Ministry of Information". A seal of approval is on the message board as well as some of the documents and papers - it is Council approved. 


============

 
Written fliers are posted around the docks and message board, each with the same story on it. They contain a sketch of a building, as well as some writing in dark black ink. Title:

 

Terrorists strike again!

 

     There was a recent event in the Mali'ker district, one many of you no doubt have heard of. During midday, the corpse of a half-breed of elf and an unknown race was burned. No blood was found at the scene, and it can be determined that the victim was killed elsewhere. A note was left, obviously to encourage dissent and aid the terrorists in their unlawful actions. The Sentinel on watch was Gladewatcher Elerel, who handled the situation with great skill and calmness, despite the chaotic conditions. He directed Initiate Glafandor to assist, and the body was taken away for a proper burial. Even more stirring was the bravery and quick reactions of the people of Malinor - their assistance proved vital to stopping the fires and preventing more destruction. 

 

     Remember, however, that despite rumors, the Mali'aheral did not participate in conducting the arson, nor do they endorse such cruel and vile behavior. Cooperation between the races is vital for Elven Longevity, and for the prosperity of Malinor as a whole. Disregard these baseless rumors, and rest easy knowing the Sentinels, and the Council, are doing everything they can to bring the culprits to justice!

*Vanir reads the note, a deep look of concern forming upon his face.

"I cannot see even the most racist Mali'aheral doing such a crime... this makes no sense. It cannot be a random act of hatred.... which means it was premeditated. As no right-minded Mali would do such, that means that someone is attempting to drive a shard into already fragile relations. But who... and why..."

*Vanir pulls out his worn journal and copies the notice down for later reference. He closes it and walks off with a contemplative expression. He mutters to himself, and the words "Elementary" and "Watson" seeming to be heard.

A new set of sketched and drawn posters have been pinned up around Malinor, usually clustered on the message board or near Sentinel recruitment posters.

Another story is posted around Malinor and on the message board. The title is as follows:

 

The Face of Evil

 

Today, a Mali'aheral by the name of "Relgard Sintel" was apprehended by the Sentinels. All under orders of the Council, two Sentinels - Gladewatcher Lyweneth and Initiate Rhonin, assisted Prince Oceas in capturing the fugitive and preparing him for a trial. The capture was not easy. It began with the troublemaker resisting arrest. The present Sentinels bravely fought to restrain him, and after a lengthy ordeal, succeeded. He was locked in the Council chamber, where his punishments were discussed. When approached once more to be moved elsewhere, he fought back against Gladewatcher Lyweneth. Her superior training and skill allowed her to overpower him, and he was restrained once more. 

 

If you are aware of the dissent and hate targeted towards the Mali'aheral, then you may find solace in this fact. Relgard is one Mali'aheral out of many. Rats like him spoil the image of the Mali'aheral as a whole, as well as the entirety of Malinor. You may think that these criminals, these monsters, such as Relgard and Kalenz, act above petty criminals that would be found in less cultured societies such as Malinor. You would be wrong if you assumed such. Relgard did not hesitate to cry, whine, and beg for assistance from any bystander within the entire island. His incessant screams proved useless, as nobody came to the corrupt Elf to aid him.

 

In the end, he was brought to the Mali'aheral district where he will remain in custody until his trial, tomorrow. Additionally, rest easy knowing that his previous safe haven, Oren, has been made off limits to him. Said by Duchess Chrestienne Valois, "Being a traitor to the crown and His Imperial Majesty, Godfrey, the first of hi sname I hereby deem you unalowed in Oren, stripped of all Oren titles, and a prisoner in Oren lands." The Ministry of Information and the Sentinels implore all Malinor citizens - should you see Relgard Sintel outside the Mali'aheral district, or should you see Kalenz at all, report it to the nearest authorities. 

 

Finally, you must wonder what the crimes of these two men are - Relgard and Kalenz. What makes them deserve punishment at all? Relgard is a murderer. A torturer, of his own fellow High Elves. He is a liar, a coward, and a disgusting creature. You would find more honor and respect from a Valah's farm pig. As for Kalenz, he is wanted for multiple charges of attempted murder, resisting arrest, and fleeing Justice. 

 

Do your duty Malinor. Help us bring this filth to Justice. Don't let your mind be clouded - the Mali'aheral themselves approved of the arrests and trials of these two men, Mali'aheral themselves. All negative judgements against the High Elves stem from these two, and once they have paid for their crimes, Malinor will continue to be the bastion of hope, safety, and unity that it has been for many years.
