Today is the 16th day of the Decline of the Season of Rebirth in the 137th Year Since the Wall Fell.
A mysterious masked man went on the prowl in the poor district, taking several women and children hostage and viciously stoning them! Several brave Heroes came to the rescue, although it took a combination of brute force, magic and the breath of dragons from all of them to subdue the raider, who had stolen the sword of the Knight of Fire. Some say he
was the Knight of Fire, but everyone knows a knight would never endanger his own people.
Unless the rumors about the Great and Terrible Wizard of the Woods are true, of course. Following a path of dead and deformed animals, it was reported that the Knight was seen inhaling cursed smoke given to him by the Wizard. For what purpose? So the Wizard could steal his powers, no doubt! Or his body parts, as one witness mentioned was threatened! Or both! What dark designs does this Wizard have? Just in case, make sure to keep a close eye on your childrens’ knees.
In other news, shiny things have started to go missing from shops, purses and even people. The culprit is as of yet unknown, although some believe that the old peddler had something to do with it. Though there haven't been any new beanstalk sightings, small thanks. Parents are reminded to warn their children of the danger of the peddler and not to let them talk to him without proper instruction.
The weather is due to be atrocious--a vicious maelstrom of wind, rain, and curses. Either that or perfectly sunny and pleasant. It's so dreadfully hard to divine these things, you understand.
