Wait.
You’re saying I missed a duel, a Lycene dinner AND a party that mixed alcohol with sharp objects ...
I’m sulking, guys. Hard.

Commoners Bulletin V1N6 - 12/18/1007 AR (01/13/2017)
The Commoners Bulletin is a condensed version of the news, happenings, and proclamations given out in the past fortnight! If you have news to include in the bulletin, or you believe I've missed something, please send word! (OOC: Using mail is good!)
-Mae Grayhope, Commoners Council
NEWS:
*House Kennex is taking great strides to rebuild their navy! Considering it was total chaos there just a few months ago, this is great news.
*A report has come out of House Redrain outlining the military capabilities of the Compact. This kind of thorough review is almost surely going to save lives. It is, of course, not public, but I’m pretty sure I’ve seen it and I can assure you it’s very boring. Still, thank you, House Redrain.
*Ostria has been fortified. That’s the home of House Mazetti. Makes you wonder what all the other cities across the Compact look like right now.
*A ruckus erupted in the white journals after a certain pot-stirrer questioned the Compact’s relationship with the people called the Nox’alfar. I think there’s a lot to be said on this matter, but I won’t throw in my two cents. Instead, I’ll just make plain the history: The Nox’alfar were fighting against Tolamar Brand and they are our sworn allies.
*A pair of Graysons are touring their lands, celebrating one year of marriage, and listening to the concerns of their people. Anyone need a favor? Anyone got a complaint? Particularly anyone of Grayson fealty? Now’s the time to share! Send a message to Princess Tikva or Prince Ainsley.
*Word’s traveling about a new trade deal between House Leary, House Grimhall, and House Navegant. It involves lumber. Looks like the Mourning Isles will be repairing their fleets rather quickly!
*Restoration of the blocks destroyed in the fire weeks back have been progressing nicely. With sizeable donations from the nobility (and one commoner!), the damage should be all repaired soon.
*Relatedly, there was an event called the Armor Run! Best I can tell, a bunch of people got suited up in their armor and raced through town while others threw pastries at them? It seems remarkably silly, but remarkably silly is about what we need right now. The money raised was donated to those affected by the fire.
*Another charity event sparked a lot of talk about bottles of pink liquor. The Murder of Crows hosted its second Darts and Drinking night. Did they really serve pink liquor? (Yes, we did.) Proceeds will go to the Crow Soup Kitchen.
PROCLAMATIONS:
*High Lord Darren Redrain has announced the creation of new house. House Acheron is headed by Marquis Mydas, and holds the March of Aviaron Peak. Good luck and Gods bless, House Acheron.
*Deacon Pateris has been named Ambassador to Setarco. Ambassador Deacon will lead diplomatic relations between Setarco and the rest of the Compact, as well as to the Abandoned and any other entities.
*The Palace has announced the birth of Crown Princess Alessa Grayson and her younger twin brother Prince Elisian Grayson. Queen Symonesse is recovering well. Gods bless the wee Princess Alessa! Gods bless the wee Prince Elisian!
*Dame Thena Grayhope, Acting Commander of the Knights of Solace, has called the Knights of Solace to the east coast of Arvum to defend against the coming enemy fleets.
*Grand Duchess Eleyna has committed the forces of the Lyceum to the defense of Arx, and called to rally against the Pirate King.
*Blessed Cassandra, Archlector of Gloria, has announced the creation of a new division of the Templars who will be guarding the graveyards, the tombs, and the shrines of the Queen of Endings. These Templars will be known as the Late Knights. It’s a pun. Death likes puns.
*Count Gailin Fireviper has wed Lady Titania Kennex, who is now Countess-Consort Titania Fireviper. Congratulations! Rival house Icehawk was unavailable for comment.
*Duke Harlan Ashford has announced the end of the search for Lady Aislin Ashford. I’m not going to stop looking, Duke.

Relationship Note on Morrighan
Just wanna say that Red knows how to throw a good shindig, so good on her.
Also want to point out that I got fucking robbed during the hatchet throw.
But if your swordarm fails you, at least I know I can rely on my live, which is damn golden.
Like the fucking trophy.
So, Eirene. Freja. Here's your issue. You wanna be the man, you gotta beat the man. And I'm the one holding the drinking champ.
Come at me.

I won second place in a huge axe throwing contest! I mean, fine, there were only three of us and I may have managed to miss by just slightly less on my last throw, but still. I am not prone to bouts of hubris, but sometimes it feels so good to go in and try despite the odds and manage a bit of glory. Now I need a display cabinet because surely, I am on a roll.

I'm definitely going to have the most Gods awful headache in the morning, but it was well worth it. Overall the birthday bash was a grand success, and it went well into the night. I'd like to thank those who stopped by and hope you all had a grand time. I can't really think of a greater gift than being among friends and those who are like family, surrounded by laughter, and momentarily letting the worries of the day slip out of mind. I think the memory I'll have of it will be the grandest present of all, and thank you to those that helped to make it happen. It was so much fun, and congratulations to the winners of the games!

Allow it to be known that on this morning in Autumn, 1007:
Lord Percephon Telmar, Magister of the Vellichorian Academy and Seneschal of Sanctum cannot hit a bullseye with neither dart nor dagger. But, with his spectacles off -- can manage to throw a rock that hits a tree at ten, perhaps twelve, paces away in order to pass the Explorer's Exam.
I need a drink to celebrate.
Of water.

I did not realize how much I missed the bonfires of Farhaven until Dame Morrighan's amazing birthday bash. Everything felt like home again, or home made in Arx. Or maybe just home? At least a little bit, my heart is being taken by this city and the people. Such a great many people came to celebrate! The memories of this evening will not soon be forgotten.

Add a 0 to the end.
I can only imagine that there should be a To Be Continued at the end of that list.
In time, we may make a charitable institution of you. May history remember you for your philanthropy.

Somewhere in all of the excitement and perilous circumstances surrounding our mortal vessels in day to day life, I have forgotten something dear to me. My shaving razor! Indeed, lost perhaps to time, fallen into uncouth hands or simply stricken from this world by divine intervention. One would think that I would bear witness to this fact -before- the beard had started growing out. But alas.
Curse my poor observation skills. It is the dust hiding in every nook and cranny of the House of Solace, I know it! Foolish dirt, you will not trifle with me for a fourth time and get away with it.

I was kept up by duties at the Reach the other evening, to my great disappointment. However, I heard that he served Gloria well in his Rite with Prince Galen Thrax --
