MILLIONAIRE GUILD HOUSES: THE BIDS BOOM by Grimul Perhaps to quell the murmurings of discontent among those poor homeless wretches to be seen wandering the world day and night in all weathers rain sleet and snow, the Octarchy have offered 3 houses... for sale by auction. Excitement and interest mounted as the day of the first auction, in Gugrontid, drew near... tired, sweating figures were to be seen hunched over foundries, huntsmen searched the plains for prey, that each may offer their guilds a few more tria in purchasing power. Gossip monuted.... who would bid? what prices would be charged. any secret guilds involved?.. Whatever, the first house in Gugrontid, a fine and spacious property, was sold after fierce bidding to a new guild.. "The Adani Order".. a tear rolled down the youthful Pontifers's enki eye as he realised he was beaten.. desperately searching his pockets for a few tria more, he could not match the 30 million offered by Teshia, whose cheers of joy could be heard as far as the Bronze Doors. But hope sprung eternal for Ponti!! Next auction, at Ojaveda , he secured a handsome property for his young guild "Roots of Vacation" for the small sum of 5 million tria!! The Guards should have been called to control the riotous crowds. who were shouting "Its a slum" and "Where is oja anyway".. .. To my mind it is a fine property, and i'm sure our readers wish Pontifer and his crew many happy times there. The last Auction, for a house in the Winch was sensational... The bidding went up like a rocket.. first to drop out was Perlan.. at ninety-nine millions. Yes, 99 millions tria! At that point a new bidder entered, none other than Realito Bigoto representing a mystery guild.. Now the Bidding slowed, Bedira, of the Crystal Weavers held her nerve, swilling a mug of beer until she too was cruelly ousted, her dreams shattered by the final bid. The crowd was in uproar at the scenes of jubilation.. it was truly sensational, and the guards were close to dousing the entire riot with a big and cold watery spell, but peace was restored when Realito, in clear tones announced " Sarreena, my dearest darling.. a house for us at last!" Who is the mystery guild now in possession of this fine property.. Time, as it usually does, will tell. Stand by for more sensational stories from and written by Grimul Gorfest, special correspondent, Servant to Dakkru. TALKING ABOUT THE BOOK FAIRE WITH THE PRAESIDIOR OF THE KNOWLEDGE SEEKERS: TUATHANACH by Dermathil You were the one who organised the book faire, correct? "The university organised the faire, with a big thank you to our Proctor Roled Rolak." Who first came up with the idea? "I don't remember exactly who had the idea but I asked Roled to organise something and a few of the staff and students here put some ideas together." Were you surprised to see how popular the Faire was? "We wanted to do more than a standard faire so we had some readings and a short educational lecture. I wouldn't say I was surprised, in times past I have seen busy book faires in this area. It was encouraging to see so many interested in expanding their minds and their knowledge." What did you think of the lectures? Did any of them stand out from the lot? "The readings were all good and Brako's gave an interesting view on kras belief in Talad." Tell us a little more about the University's contract with Jayose's. "We have a contract with Jayose to help him expand his library, by finding quality books from all across society. Once we have found the books or they are submitted to us we review each and every one, putting only the best books forward." As last thing, anything you would like to say or wish? "I would like to add a couple of things, first to all the authors out there please submit your works for inclusion into jayose's library. Second I look for volunteers for readings and lectures at future faires including Laanx and Xiosia devotees." ARDOIN HOLYSWORD: LETS CLEAN THE SEWERS FROM THE DANGEROUS CREATURES! by Zakena When I received the note which this interesting story, I could not avoid publishing it. In the seventh issue of the newspaper the article entitled "Toxic grendols in the sewers" covered the subject and this is certainly an opportunity to talk about it. To respect the integrity of the chronicle I decided to format this article using only the dialogues transcribed by our brave reporter Erelenga. ---- Ardoin Holysword raises an arm and points towards Erelenga Karal. Erelenga: "Huh? What?" Ardoin: "You used to be a reporter, right?" Erelenga: "Some time ago, yes ... but now I am dean of a university" Erelenga: "I hardly have time for news anymore" Ardoin: "I have need of your services, either way" Erelenga: "Aha? Well, explain..." Ardoin: "I need you to spread the word." Erelenga looks suspicious, but doesn't object... Ardoin: "Alright then. I need you to spread the news about something I know of... Some dire news. I've noticed rising population in gobbles riverlings, thieves, and cloaked figures in the sewers; They all seem to be fighting for territory. They need to be stopped; I have the perfect solution though. I'm starting a campaign against these entities that threaten the Octarchy and it's citizens. I need people willing to gather resources and risk their lives. The lives of many hang in the balance." _________ << RELAX Take a breath from everyday hardships and enjoy this section of the newspaper, dedicated to pastimes of any kind.
