Welcome to Cove

Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Spookiness at the Town Hall
During a patrol of the Baronship Household, strange goings-on were heard in the Town Hall. Footsteps were heard upstairs and, apart from the guardsmen present, the building was completely empty. Searches proved fruitless. Investigators of the Spirit World are being asked to step forward!

Drunk and Vulnerable
Guardsmen came across a lone Covian woman completely intoxicated at The Cardinal Feather. Apparently, the woman had been drinking with someone else but, after sobering up, could not understand how she got as drunk as she did - nor who she was drinking with. Concerns over spiked drinks were raised. Covian guardsmen are asking anyone with any information over suspicious activity at The Cardinal Feather to report to the Barracks.

Odd Hay Bales..?
Junior Guardsman Sheriam Palmer questioned the origin of the hay bales in Cove by the Armourers. Why are they there? Who stacked them? Is there a meaning behind their placement?

Crooked Bankers
Citizen Carolin Kazami has made allegations of unethical practices against the Covian Bank. Interest rates on loans are higher than ever, forcing Citizens to be stuck in an endless cycle of debt. The Baronship Household, charged with monitoring the Covian Bank, gave this response; “Perhaps the citizens aren’t working hard enough?” Ooo!

HEADLINE: WHERE IS HOAGIE?
Guardsmen received information whilst on patrol in Altmere that Commander Hoagie Grayner had been taken away by the Guardsmen Militia under duress. This information was treated lightly and it was assumed that Hoagie had simply ‘eaten a bad pie’ and was probably off on sick leave. But some time has passed now and his whereabouts is still unknown. Concerning..?

HEADLINE: KHAELIETH ARRESTED BY YEW!
The up and coming chocolatier of Cove was arrested by Yew Churchmen on Wednesday eve for ‘suspected necromancy’. Covian guardsmen present were unable to deter the well armed force from Yew and, with Khaelieth’s advice, it was agreed to let the tradesman be taken away for questioning.

Rumour
* Carolin Kazami to join Covian Army? Citizen Coarlin Kazami has been highly active with the Covian guardsmen as of late. Assisting with several patrols, she is gifted with a bow and appears to be as light-footed as a Scout!

* Disagreement between Palmer and Eason..! Watchman Serj Eason did not hide his hatred of Elves when Citizen Khaelieth was being taken away by the Yew Church. This did not sit well with Junior Guardsman Sheriam Palmer. After the Yew forces had departed, Junior Palmer immediately dismissed Watchman Eason from duty.

* Yew against the North. The authorities in Yew have made a bold move entering Covian territory and making an arrest. Surely this will unsettle the delicate politics of the North!?
