STRANGE SYMBOL CLAIMS CHURCH OF SALVATION

~ 30 May, 307​

Parchments with a strange symbol that is described as three vertical eyes have 'claimed' the Church of Salvation. The message proclaims it is under this mysterious group's 'watchful gaze' and that Unionist worship will not be interrupted. City law enforcement has yet to reply to the strange missive and or declare the group under investigation. This comes on the heels of another group claiming the Old Gods temple and sometime after heretics and demonic beings burned the Chapel in Old Town.

IMPERIAL BALL TO BE HELD ON 8 JUNE

~ 29 May, 307​

The Lady Grace of the Inner Court, High Lady of the Court of Glory, and the High Lady of the Chamber have announced that the Imperial Court shall function in the town of Hostesse beginning the 1st June and through to the 15th of the same month. On the 8th an Imperial Ball will be held.

COMMONS MEETING ON 1 JUNE

~ 28 May, 307​

Meeting in the Imperial Assembly Hall, common folk from throughout the City may come and formally propose agendas to the Secretary of Commons, Kaya Sorenvik. It shall be noted, as said by the Secretary, that all proposals will not be dealt with by the Secretary directly. Furthermore, only Speakers, that is the people who will speak and propose, will be allowed to address the Meeting. All others must be seated in the back and maintain decorum.

SIHAI HISTORICAL SOCIETY FORMED

~ 27 May, 307​

Although there are few of the mysterious Sihai in the Empire, perhaps the most famous or rather infamous of them is Dr. Fong, a Society dedicated to the dissemination and teaching of Sihai culture and history has been founded. Perhaps this Society has much to offer, or perhaps no one will be interested in it since the mysterious race remains isolated beyond the seas.

NEW GROUP NAMED THE BLACKHAWKS ISSUES 'EDICT'

~ 30 May, 307​

"The people are plagued with groups that actively seek to rip apart the lower-classes. They align classes, the others are told to be foreign and beastly races when the commoners are beaten, abused, and framed, Ailor or not. We live in a world where social classes do not exist, you are either prosperous and survive, or dehumanized and considered an 'other' with the added struggle. We seek to fight this fight, blade-meet-blade, fist-meet-fist, whatever it may be. Cut us down, we've served our Empire, gave our lives for it and yet the government, other gangs still take our money, our jobs. We plead for the people to have a response, but The Blackhawks will not keep their peace in fear of those who are willed to protect us, instead, they will take it into their own hands."

The group then subsequently occupied the gladiatorial villa where they remain at this present time. We have not heard of an acknowledgment or response from the Violet Order at this time.

CHAPTER SEVEN OF NINE IN A LADY'S GUIDE TO SOCIAL GRACES

Written by the Lady Genevieve Howlester

===Chapter Seven: Places of Amusement===​

Those lucky enough to live in large cities can attest to the endless cycle of entertainment and society events. Most parties hosted by those of good breeding are on their own property. But that does not mean that young people should cut themselves off from all that society has to offer. For example, public parks that are playing host to concerts, recitals, speeches, and displays can be attended freely by both ladies and gentlemen easily enough. Ladies rarely need chaperones for such open and public gatherings. These occasions amidst the city parks provide a chance for mingling and making plans for future pursuits.

Enclosed public theaters, however, require strict attention to both attendance and comportment. Ladies never go to the theater unattended. Furthermore; each lady must be accompanied by a gentleman. It is preferable that young people go in groups, as long as the male-to-female ratio remains distinctly 1:1. Ladies should wear a small, unobtrusive headpiece or barrette upon their head, and gloves that reach over their elbows. Gentlemen are advised to always wear a coat to the theater, remembering to stand and escort their charges wherever they wish to go in the theater.

Public drinking houses that provide a space for table seating are appropriate for both men and women. Ladies should endeavor to never be seated at a bar. Rather at a table, and let a gentleman bring them a drink. Fairs, carnivals, and other general gatherings subscribe to the same rules as regular street travel. Never alone after dark, and being accompanied is preferred.

A copy of the issue found its way into withered, dead hands. A myriad of eyes peered and pried at the words, and after some time, the newspaper was folded up and gently stored on a bookshelf - along with every written issue thus far.
 
Elm purchased the paper with predatory eyes he carefully analyzed every line of the paper and with his usual, a self-amused smile discarded it finding nothing of interest. He then walked into a crowd with an expression of innocent interest coming to his face in a rehearsed manner almost mechanically.
 
Lilac Hansen tells the vendor, " Subscribe me to this paper please."
 
Nace looked upon the paper, fishing one out of the nearby garbage before tucking it under his armpit, looking over the bridge that lead into the Greygate district and the Imperial Street. He mulled over his thoughts before speaking out to himself; "And so it begins... 'ere we go again."
