<< EDITORIAL
A fairly high number of crimes made in the name of Dakkru has risen in an allarming situation. That's why, since it's birth, the paper have been often writing about the Goddess of Death and less about other religions. Truly we wish to be fair to all beliefs and that's why, next week, we'll be publishing an article about the main Gods worshipped in the Dome. If you seek more knowledge about faith and religion, don't miss the next issue of this paper!

On this issue we'll be publishing 48 copies of a "Tourist Map" of the vicinity of Hydlaa, conceived to be useful to travellers and newcommers.

THE TEMPLE OF TALAD DESECRATED BY UNKNOWN VANDALS
By Raikana
Few days ago, while visiting Gugrontid, i noticed a vandalic act perpetrated on Talad's shrine, at the temple. The stone statue were scratched brutally, maybe with weapons and rock picks and there was a message inscripted in the rock:
"This shall be the fate of all false Gods and stone idols as they will all crumble before the true power of Goddess Dakkru".
There were missing books and the rest of them was thrown in the ground, severely damaged. Sir Halaali was present and warned the guards, then headed to Ojaveda to look for some master mason to help in the arduous task of rebuilding the shrine. Quickly the Brotherhood of Talad came in help, mounting a permanent guard at the Temple and restoring the books and the offers.
I had the chance to talk about it to Venorel Weruno about the crime:
What have been done about it? What is doing the Brotherhood of Talad to avoid further acts like those?
"As you can see appropriate offerings have been made to seek Talad's guidance and protection in our cause. In sooth we had been on guard already after noticing offerings of no value but spiritual being removed from the altar. Today our guild member arrived for duty to find this disecration. We have no idea how they weer able to deface the altar so without gaining the attention of Quasus who rarely leaves guard of the temple or indeed the guards from the noise it would make. Magic perhaps? "
When do you think it will the shrine will be restored?
"We have smitty's and magic practitioners assessing the damage for the best approach to take for its restoration. We are not as concerned as to how long it will take as we are that it will be fully restored to its previous condition with no trace of the disecration"
In the stone there is a write carved that seems a message from some Dakkruist. Do the Brotherhood of Talad think that this crime is related to the crimes happened at the Den?
"Yes"
PROPHETS OF DAKKRU
by Raikana
Lately in Hydlaa, i saw a diaboli talking to the crowd. He was warning the people with cryptic words worthy of a mad prophet, though, the people were not paying too much attention to him; here's an excerpt of his speeches:
"Denizens of Yliakum! Dakkru complains of how cold the Death Realm has been. Instead of using steel, you're simply hammering it? Well, it has been placed in your hands so you can place it in someone's. So get your blades wet! A time of turmoil is approaching. Huge entity is rising. I have heard the shadows and they speak of an Alliance of the relentless! Ushered between sneering lips words of defiance are mentioned, targeting the amorphous mass that is the Light Alliance. Be ready. Be careful. Cutthroats are being granted prizes, championing over the workers. So why should you be cutting wounds in the earth, when you could be drenching it in blood and becoming richer for it? This time the eclipse won't be related to the Azure Sun. It'll be an eclipse of peace. You have been warned. You heard me well. A time of war is upon us. I know for certain that the Light Alliance shall be challenged. I have been around those who shall raise defiance, as a joker I've been amidst them, clowning while they schemed against your peace and Dakkru has been grinning lately. I am Gartheiz, preacher of Dakkru, mouth of the old Empire and card reader!"
So much talk have been spent, including the rumours about the Den's murder and the desecration of Talad's Temple in Grugontid, about Dakkru in the last month and many citizens feels disturbed about it. Is Dakkru really showing her hand or is just a mystification? The question still stand.
LETTER FROM A READER:
"MURDER AT THE RED CRYSTAL: IS IT A HOAX?"
by Unknown
This week we received a letter from a citizen who didn't signed it, talking about the Red Crystal Den mistery. Although we don't share his opinion, we'll publish it anyways, as we are a free and impartial newspaper:
" Today while Harnquist was at home resting I made a trip to William The Hydlaa Banker to retrieve some storage and noticed someone trying to enter The Red Crystal Den. He seemed rather weak-knolleged about what had happened their a few weeks ago so I desired to explain what had happened, Then I tried to get some information about why he was trying to enter the Den.
I told to the man that a couple of workers had been murdered in cold blood and the Guards had to close the den to investigate further to find who the perpetrator was.
After talking with the person for sometime, he didn't have a reason for trying to get in other then 'he was just seeing if the door was open'.
Much speculation as what really had gone on "behind locked doors" as word gets out on the streets spreads about someone overhearing a male Enkidukai talking about being in their A few days prior to the murder as one of the waitresses talked about not having enough time to keep the Den's doors open to the public.
Unknowing to the Guards Classified Investigation Documents questions arise like:
Why is there no indication outside of the Den that it has been closed until further notice? If someone isn't trusted to run the den when other people don't have time to, raises the question why wasn't a Guard around during open hours? Is a Guard at fault? seeing how its a place of business? Was the Murder A hoax to close the Den because they did not have enough workers? "
MASTERS OF MOVE MAKES A "DOUBLE" CELEBRATION
by Raikana
Reporter: Cinade
Last week took place a commemorative event organized by the Masters of Move, with two separated competitions. Despite the incredible prizes, the lack of advertise, the distance from major cities and maybe the weather conditions, have minimized both the public and participants. In any case, the "one and a half million tria" in prize and the fame of the owner, have attracted some of the most prominent citizens giving life to an interesting event.

Contestants were required to run along two types of shapes, an 'oval shape' and an 'eight shape', addressing three races for each shapes and three laps for every race.
