[!] A mud-covered and lightly crinkled Message has been stuck onto the notice board with a rusty nail. BIG AND WEE FOLK OF THE SHIRE! After Recent events and after discussion with our Thain, it is with a heavy heart that I must admit that we cannot rely on the kindness of our neighbours to protect us. While we value and respect their help, and will be more than happy for their support in the future, we must now look to our own defences. It is why I have decided, with the permission of our thain, Elsbeth Okenshade, and in my Authority as sheriff of Lisselroke, to organise a proper and official militia. This is open to all members of our Shire, Big folk or small. As a member of the Lisselroke Militia, you shall go about your daily business, but in the event of a crime, attack, or other such dangerous event, you shall defend and protect the people of the shire. Protecting the Shire, as Knox does. from threats outside. If you wish to become a member of the militia, please send a letter to me, or my deputy, Wilibald Proudbottom, or visit me in my office if I'm around. yours, with all anxiety Albert Gallows, Sheriff of Lisselroke PS, I've no clue what I am doing, so if you have prior military experience, please help. I'm a garbage man way over my head.

[!] A piece of muddy parchment was stuck on the notice board slightly askew ATTENTION WEE FOLK(and others)! I am ashamed to say that a great evil has been committed here in our as-yet-unnamed shire. I have been given reports that a dwarf has been murdered in our own lands. Discovered by the local elf Apollon, with injuries that raised suspicion that it could have been the Azrani (forgive the spelling, I've only heard the name), that is to say, the dragonfolk over by the volcano might have been the culprit. There is reason to suggest that this is NOT in fact the case. Rest assured we are investigating this, and I will inform everyone when and if more evidence comes to light. Rest assured that Murder shall not be tolerated in our shire! Dwarf, Halfing, Elf, Human or Dragonfolk. If you have any information regarding these events, please send a message to me, my deputy or our thain Elsbeth. Yours Sadly Albert Gallows, Sheriff

[!] A quickly penned piece of paper was stuck to a wall in the Warren Hello ALL! Albert here! The high Pumplar Primrose has given me the quite important job of sheriff of our fine warren, and, in the interest of halfling safety, I have decided to pen up this notice. I am not one for setting down hard and fast rules; that is for the thain to decide, and right now, we are not in a place to heavily enforce laws, so consider all I say in this notice as more of a collection of friendly suggestions. Darkspawn? The Warren has had several darkspawn attacks in the past. So if you spot any suspicious person around the Warren, please head towards the Warren and close the gate. If you are not able to escape to the Warren, defend yourself, or shout in a loud, clear voice that you are in trouble. If you haven't been killed or kidnapped, please report the event to me, either in person or via note. Other folk? Not all big folk wish our deaths. If such an individual comes to visit, act cautiously. Politely ask their business, then just as politely ask them to remove their shoes. If they do so, it shows they respect our culture, at least to some extent. If not, still act politely, but ask them firmly to leave. If they do not, refer to the darkspawn section of this notice. Improper halfings? Since the destruction of Amberdell, there has been a schism amongst the Halfings. There are some who, either through choice or ignorance, live improperly. If you encounter one, don't insult them or express pity to them, as this could engender hatred amongst us. If you feel it is appropriate, invite them to the Warren. If you feel this halfing is disrespectful of halfing life, or even worse, you know they have committed the crime of murdering their fellow halfing, do not invite them. If the offending halfing seems genuinely ashamed about his actions, keep their name in mind and tell me. I will then converse with the Grand Pumplar about the idea of some form of absolution. If you have any questions, complaints, or suggestions, please talk to me. Also, if Prim is reading this, I hope I'm not overstepping Signed Albert Gallows, Sheriff of the Norland Warren

[!] A public letter circulates throughout Norland Dear Empire Recently, my mind has been troubled, deeply and greatly. Ironically, it is only at the end of a war that the gravity of the situation that occurred appears to you. I am not some great and noble philosopher, some master of words or great warrior. I am no one of great importance, what I am is a halfing, a traveller. I make no lie that I lived in Urgaun, and by proxy, I supported the Kingdom of Urgaun in the war, but looking back, I hold no hate for you, the people of the empire, for the hurt you did to me. How could I? There are too many of you for one. And I find holding grudges to be a deeply hurtful prospect for all parties involved, but make no mistake, I was hurt by your war. I did not raise a pitchfork at any of you, yet my home was invaded, granted we blew it up ourselves, so I can't blame you for that, close friends I knew have tried to kidnap me for the crime of simply being on the road, and far worse than this, I was prevented from travelling. My greatest passion was robbed from me. Even with all these things, I know you are not evil, you are people of honour and respect just as much as you are people of hate. And even then, it is because of your mercy that a few of my halfing brothers live today. Even we here in Norland only really live because of your emperor's good grace. And for that I am grateful. Even then, I will miss Urguan. I miss Amberdell and the smell of salt air. I miss my pile of garbage. I miss the Dwarves who protected us even before the war, who drank with us, laughed with us, and joked with us. To the emperor I ask, with no expectation of receiving mercy and forgiveness for my people, and for the Dwarves of Urguan, and wish him a long and prosperous reign, and to the people of Norland who have been forced to read my frankly horrendous drivel, I can only apologise. Yours, Albert Gallows, currently living under the protection of Brunfell, Vassel of Norland
