House of the Desert Fox

[Annabeth]

As should be well known, the 03rd Zhas 48 will hold a high council where myself and the baron will listen to petitions and concerns.

Should anyone however be unable to make it, yet have petitions or concerns to bring to attention, you are always free to send myself a messenger and I shall personally see that it is seen to on the day of the council.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

The page Malrian has been disowned by knight Kraex'ju and is also due to the knights advise and lack of respect shown towards the countess and her house praetor knight S'rrt K'shire, no longer welcome as a member of the house.

Furthermore, due to his lack of respect for authority, insult towards her majesties regime, he is sentenced to be brought to the prison mine to serve a sentence of 300 stones. Additionally, due to later on soiling the infirmary with blood and troubling knight Kraex'ju with having this cleaned, 100 additional stones will be added to this punishment for a total of 400 stones to be mined before he be set free.

May this time in the prison mine serve to give this page time to think about the consequences of his words and actions, so that he may repent.

Due to his hard work and spirit in the past, he may still be welcomed back to the house should he show an improvement in attitude at a later date.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

Due to fleeing arrest and refusing to serve his punishment, Page Malrian's punishment will be raised by another 100 stones. Totaling now 500 stones.
He is however given a month to decide whether he truly wishes to leave Cadomyr in such a dishonorable way, before any further measures are taken.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

Page Ssarinzir is officially welcomed into the ranks of the house.

He will be mentored by knight Kraex'ju as one of his pages.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

The time is soon upon us for the battle against the forces of Phelmon.

The battle will begin in 4 and a half dwarven hours. ((19:00 GMT+1 / CET))

Despite the less than friendly words just announced by the baron, all members of his house are warmly welcomed to aid in this affair as are those whom belong to the other townships.

That is all. It would be best to meet up prepared before the time announced.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

The realm has with the aid of it's allies been victorious in the battle against the elder lich Phelmon and his forces.

While certain individuals chose to after the battle disobey the countess, and go against the word of honor Cadomyr gave by slaying the elder lich whom was to leave these realms forever. However this is a matter where punishment will already have been announced by the time this parchemnt is placed on the boards, so it will be discussed no further here.

The house of the desert fox and the realm itself thanks its allies for their effort, and will be holding a feast on behalf of Cadomyr at a suitable date in the future, to both celebrate the victory , and honor and reward those who came to our aid, excluding some very dishonorable individuals.

Ignoring what happened after the battle, the house wishes to commend in particular the effort of some individuals:
Baron Ssar'ney whom followed orders exceptionally well and with permission of the countess lead the initial charge against the tomb of the queen.
Praetor S'rrt K'shire of the house, whom lead the defense at the gates and protected against the enemies forces from the east.
Dean Djironnyma of Runewick, the fire bearers and the steam alliance, who lead the research and destruction of the columns protecting, regenarating and summoning the enemies forces.
Arcia of Galmair and his mighty pickaxe, as well as Chancellor Fault. Galmair's crafty ways of solving problems never cease to fascinate.
Anzula Grimler of Runewick and her aiding of the wounded.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

Squire Lancare Gossia will be joining our ranks as Squire to knight Kraex'ju.

We are certain he will unlike former mistake make us proud.

~Countess Annabeth

Soon after another note is added on the same parchment

Squire Priaxie will also be joining our ranks as a squire of the house today.

We are happy to have her with us as well, and are sure she too will make us proud.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

The high council concluded at in less than three hours, and the results are as follow.

However the house is disappointed to see none of the house of the sea serpent other than their priestess attend the high council when it was their time to host.
Without having been told in advance of their absence, the house can only assume this is due to wounds from the battle the dwarven day before.
Priestess Zelphyra did however represent the baron in his place.
A small correction: Rosea a new house member of the sea serpent also attended.

Squire Priaxie asked permission to hold events in honor of Zhambra. This was granted, and to show her support the countess has, as the head of the house the squire belongs to, decided to make these events officially supported by her house.

Knight Kraex'ju of the house will be holding a tournament at a later date, and has expressed his wish for more games to be held by the crown.
The countess does endorse this idea and asks that any Cadomyrian citizen that have ideas for more games of honor, do suggest these through messenger to her scribe.

The countess does also express that should any newcomer in Cadomyr feel lost or be in need of assistance, they seek out the seniors of either her house or those of the sea serpent for assistance. It is the wish of the countess that all newcomers feel welcomed in our realm, as long as they abide by the laws and hierarchy.

The seniors of the house of the countess include the countess herself, praetor of her house S'rrt K'shire and knight Kraex'ju.

~Countess Annabeth

PS. There is currently an unofficial get-together in the tavern. Anyone who read this note in time are welcome to join.

An update on the renovations of the temple
Renovations of the Malachín temple have begun, meanwhile two other projects of the house have already entered the planning stage.
To encourage visiting of the Malachín temple when the renovations are done, the house will not release any blueprints.

However it does encourage visiting our very own training hall above our workshop, for an example of architecture designed by the countess.
A perfect time to do so would be on the next crafts fair, held by the house of the sea serpent in Ushos this very year.

Zhambra's Pride
The squire of the house Priaxie has announced the first of her events in honor of Zhambra. It will be held at the 06th of Ushos 48 at the ninth hour.
A copy of the parchments detailing the event are provided

A promotion
As the house expects some of it's squires will soon become knights, a promotion will be given to the knight of the house Kraex'ju.
Since joining the House, the honorable Sir Kraex'Ju has performed the following services in the good name of the Desert Fox:

• Regular and consistent public presence, especially for assisting new comers.
• Trade stimulation between Cadomyrian merchants and abroad.
• Defense against evil magical storms that have attempted to overrun Cadomyr on multiple occasions.
• Regular attendances at open town meetings, events, and training sessions (Third House Meetings, Open Arms Training, Pirate Incursion, etc...)
• Foreign diplomacy to insure Cadomyrian values are known as well as attempting to keep peace with neutral parties (Abroad events held by Cadomyrian resident Starling as well as training sessions by the Bearers of Fire)
• Regular Scouting missions to insure come trade routes are kept safe and accessible.
• Constant support of Cadomyrian crafters beit herbs, ores, sand, and many other raw supplies to help crafters work more efficiently.
• Largest donation to the renovation of the Malachin Temple.
• Tireless defense of Cadomyr during Mas which included assisting towns abroad when Cadomyr was not under fire.
• Persistent effort to retake control of Letma which includes dozens of raids, defense strategies, allied efforts with Runewick.
• Spreading the values of the House of the Desert Fox to newcomers and citizens who seek new opportunities and community support.

For this and more the knight Kraex'ju is recognized as worthy of holding a higher position than other future knights of the house.
As of this moment the knight Kraex'ju is promoted to head knight within the ranks of the house.

[Annabeth]

The countess welcomes yet another Squire of head knight Kraex'ju to the house, Squire Anton Somers.
We trust in the judgement of the head knight and are sure the Squire will make us proud.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

The outlaw Dwarf Hew Keenaxe is for his actions today announced as an enemy of the house of the desert fox.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

Azure Lynch has been accepted as an initiate of house, to allow him to prove himself and redeem him of his past actions.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

It is with joy the house welcomes former commander of the royal guard and current squire Reena Morelis, as well as knight Lyrica Elsmswood, to its ranks.
Given their past deeds, they are sure to make the house proud given the time to.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

Given the unfortunate abduction of the countess by the beholder claiming to be testing people, the event of squire Priaxie of the house was postponed.

The countess has since returned to us and is in good health, though was held in captivity by the beholder for hours to come as she refused to obey it's orders until the end where she found a way to escape by her own means.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

The list of upcoming events held by the house has been updated.

A new expedition will be held by the countess at the 21st of Siros.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

The house is proud to announce two of its building projects as complete.

The renovation of the temple of Malachín has at long last been completed.
The house encourages any and all who visit the realm to visit the temple and pay respects to Malachín.
The countess would once more like to thank Galmair for its donation towards the project, as well as its own
house knight Kraex'ju, head of the knights of the house.

A villa has been reconstructed to serve as the base of operations for the house.
The house will hold a evening of celebration for its members and specially invited friends at a later date.
Squire Priaxie of the house will be aiding in the preparations for this evening, as she has shown a talent for it
with her recent gatherings in honor of Zhambra.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

Although the expedition was chaotic, the countess still believes it a success.
Despite the fact that the baron seems to have misunderstood the meaning of the words "Fall back" as the opposite, and running to the portals rather than away, ending with many of our knights and squires falling in order to protect him.
While many were wounded in this endeavor, we managed to push back the forces that the portals sent at us and by the grace of Cherga there were no casualties.

~Countess Annabeth

Post Scriptum
Loot from the expedition were donated to the realm.
However there were rumors of those with less honorable intention running around gathering things from the fallen rather than fighting for the realm this eve.

[Annabeth]

As he is no longer deemed a threat to the safety of the aforementioned victim, the KOS of Hew Keenaxe is called off.
His banishment from town still will remain, but he is now once more free to walk our desert without his life being endangered for doing so.
He is no longer deemed an enemy of the house. Since the house is the one that called the KOS, it also withdraws it.
Should the house of the baron oppose this, then they are free to make an opposing announcement on the matter.

~Countess Annabeth

[Annabeth]

A promotion
The house congratulates the former squire and now knight Priaxie for her rise in the ranks of Cadomyr to that of a knight, and as such she is also risen to the same rank in the ranks of the house.

Projects
As the renovation of the Malachín temple and the villa that the house will use as headquarters are now finished, the house directs its attention to other projects in the town. It hopes to in the coming months increase the quality of life in the town for its citizen by adding a new public outhouse, a bathhouse, remodeling the workshop and adding new plant-life in the form of a garden.
More news on this later when the building master and queen has approved of the plans for these new additions to the town.

[S'rrt]

To members of the House and others concerned,

An Undead Archmage had gotten inside the fort made around temple of Sirani. The gate was closed which is suggests intentional luring of undead units although this is speculation only.

It is advised that any members sweeping the area check the island that Sirani's temple lies upon for guaranteed safety.
The undead archmage has been beaten to dust by yours truly for its sacrilege.
