HEAR YE! HEAR YE!

Kobra wins Vesper Leg of Axiana's Jousting Tournament!
The finest jousters of the North were in attendance for the Vesper Leg of Axiana’s Jousting Tournament. Held outside Swaggers Inn, organisers Axiana and Rimeny set up some colourful jousting lanes for our contestants to do battle on whilst Leanne played her part as herald. Local tradesfolk took the opportunity for business, manning their stalls for all to peruse.
Contestants were whittled away until only Commander Hoagie Grayner and Officer Cadet Marcus Kobra, both of Cove, were left to joust. As always, there could only be one. Marcus Kobra defeated Hoagie to be declared Winner for the Vesper Leg of this incredible tournament!


Body part discovered at New Haven Moot
A last minute Moot was arranged by proponents of the North, with folk gathering in New Haven to discuss and socialise. However, it was not long before blood was spilled.. but by whom, we are uncertain. A body part was found that unnerved Sergeant Kelly Sanderson..


PIE HARD.
Drama of a different kind was found in Cove on Sunday eve, with auditions for a play directed by Regular Scout Leanne Martin-Melior. The play, titled ‘PIE HARD’, will be performed in Cove soon as an Avamass themed production.


The Horse Riding Masters!
An unusual horse race was hosted at the Councillors Hall in Britain. Participants were met by some sort of talking horse costume monstrosity, who then directed all to an underground network of tunnels. Various obstacles featured in the race and we are happy to report that our own Hoagie and Leanne were declared horse riding masters in their respective categories.


HEADLINE: SERJ EASON MURDERED!
Guardsman and bard murdered at the Grand Covian Avamass Market
Sergeant Kelly Sanderson organised the fabulous Avamass Market at Memorial Square. T’was a warm and friendly congregation of tradesfolk, soldiers and citizens.. or so we thought! Tragedy struck quickly, as a disagreement that got out of hand ended with Watchman Serj Eason being fatally wounded. The Covian died quickly, and a Vesperian is currently being questioned over the killing.
Watchman Eason had no children or spouse. He is survived by his mother and grandfather.

* KALDOR STRIKES BACK! Word is that the Vesperian who killed Serj Eason is a former Kaldorian soldier!?
* WEAR A CLOAK! Purchase of winter cloaks goes up in memory of the fallen Watchman!
