TOP STORY: The Council of Port Wake has laid a decisive blow against the rabble rousers and trouble makers known as the Mischief! An attack on the port was repelled by those present and able to take up arms: Weemaakin, Republican, Unionist, and many more. The threat of warp-tainted monsters was soundly bested, one which only could’ve been driven in by the dastardly Mischief. “Next time the Mischief wants to cause some damage, they should send in something with some more weight to it.” Local Weemaakin representative Doogan said after being asked to make a statement. After the dust had settled, Captain Arlux, the representative of the Republic of Zale, was seen directing aid to those in need. “Through the assistance of the Avasta Union, we will see the injured attended to.” The captain stated when asked for comment. “If the Mischief thinks it can act as such and not face repercussions, they are either very stupid or very naive.” Although structures were damaged during the attack, repairs to major structures of the port have either been completed or are under way. In other news, a band of hearty and hale pathfinders managed to retrieve a pre-Day of Thunder artifact from one of the many labyrinths that have been revealed on Wiinisi Island! The relics current whereabouts are unknown to this keen editor, but reports suggest the Mischief were searching for the same relic.
RUMOUR: Word circulating the Port Wake docks suggests that Avasta Union representative Captain Benjamin C. Thatcher’s warehouse was robbed during the attack on Port Wake last month. Witnesses present and knowledgeable of the situation suggest that the only thing stolen was a diary belonging to Captain Thatcher’s great-great-great grandfather: Captain Cornelius Thatcher. Although the office was scoured and torn apart, only the diary was taken. Of greater interest is the rumour that pieces of Captain Thatcher’s diary have been recovered by a number of parties. No members of the Mischief have been captured in these encounters, but pieces of the journal are now out in the wild. Captain Benjamin Thatcher has not provided a comment on the situation.
BOUNTY (FOLLOW UP): Boland representative Trippy (no last name given) updated this paper to inform the public that wanted felon Walon Pines has met his end at the end of a blade! Brave pathfinders brought the criminal down in a dramatic fight which saw him and an accomplice slain. “Look, all I’m saying is Lucky Jack better watch his back. These pathfinders mean business!” Lucky Jack, troublesome court jester and general nuisance, is wanted brought back to Boland, although this editor was unable to get a clear indicator on whether it was dead or alive. “Either way, I’ll pay 15 whims for his return.” The feroxian red cap ended with this comment before disengaging.
NATURE CORNER: Wiinisi Island has a great variety of flora and fauna unique to its shores, in particular when it comes to its sword servant population. A great deal of sword servants of many shapes and sizes live on the island and call it home, from the rocky cliff-like shores, to the vast forests, and the verdant fields. Keep an eye out and you too might see some of the island’s wonders!
MONTHLY FORTUNE: FROM THE CARDS: “I am bombarded by sights, sounds, and smells after greeting the reaper and paying the fare. Feelings of fear, joy, melancholy, and sadness overwhelm me. I am both the center of attention and lost in a sea of shadows- figures I glimpse upon and then forget. The shadows care not for who I am, for today I am a king among many others in this place. Over all of this, a clock ticks away, just out of view.” LUNAR FORTUNE: “If you were born under a waxing moon, best to flatter your partner this month. Liberally.”- Monthly Fortune Provided by Salazar the Scandalous, former High Priest of Zatkin. For personal fortune readings please inquire. RATES: 10 Whims/Gems per reading, per person, per day. Will not accept Mana. LEGAL NEWS: With the influx of trade, Port Wake’s Council has put forward a new set of guidelines and laws regarding items typically deemed contraband. The wording of the document ensures it is flexible and easily enforceable. Contraband items can be brought to the Port Wake Council Authority to be exchanged through the use of a cash buyback program. “We don’t care where you got it from or what your deal is: just don’t bring it into town proper.” A representative of the council replied. As of note, the contraband is still considered to exist in a legal gray zone on the docks. Anyone caught smuggling contraband into port will meet stiff fines and the destruction of the contraband goods. Failure to pay fines and repeat offenses will result in further punishments. When asked what the further punishments would entail, this editor received a non-commital shrug. “I think we’re still working things out, but like… it’s gonna be punishment related.”ADVERTISEMENT: “Need a package delivered?
