Editorial
Dear Readers,
the year is slowly coming to an end. Few months left before the new year, but also before Mas. Mas is a dark and dangerous time, so we are especially happy about the creation of the "Good and Happy News" section - to cheer you up a bit while you are doing your perparations for this hard time of the year.
This is also a call out to our readers: Tell us about your preperations for Mas! Do you fill up your food stock? Produce healing potions and bandages? Save money to buy a new weapon or train very hard to master a weapon before the battles ahead?
Also we are proud to announce the creation of the new topics "Dead or Missing" and "Art Corner". Feel free to provide information and entries to these new categories, too - just don't create entries by missing or dieing!

Interview with Alytys Lamar
Interview - Part 1
Alytys Lamar, more than just a knight from Cadomyr
Can this interview be published? Sure - wouldn't make no sense if not.
What is you name? Aleytys Lamar
Are you a human, hafling, elf, dwarf, lizzard or orc? If I look in the mirror it looks like a human.
Would you prefer to see anthing other in the mirror? No, not at all. I like what I see (grinning)
What is your occupation? I am a knight in service of the great Queen Rosaline.
What did you want to be when you were young? Pheww.. that's not so easy to answer. I was supposed to rule a nation, but my true love was with the horses in my homeland
So you rather had a role choosen for you and no choice of choosing an occupation? Indeed, you nailed it.
Did you ever dream of being a knight? I was raised to be stronger, faster and more honourable then the men in my fathers court. I did not know other things.
Your father was the king? What about you mother, did she not rule? My mother - she didn't care for me. She wanted a son - well I was a girl. And since she couldn't have another child, she was sick and depressive. I can count on two hands the occasions I did met her.
Why did she prefer a boy over a girl? She was from a vey conservative house, thinking men should rule. It was similar to Albar. Laemaros was a fertile land, maybe I was the only woman who was allowed to learn writing and reading.
Did you agree with her ideas? Agree? Can a child agree to something it does not even understand?
Depends on the childs age... After my 12th birthday I started to question things - and I did not agree to my mothers believings
Do you have a family of your own? I consider Inara Lacy Valdris similar to a daughter. But otherwise - no.
When is your birthday? Or what month were you born in? 14. Tanos
How would others describe you? Is there something special about you? Some would say I am a mocking, cold woman. And no - I'm nothing special at all.
And what would others say? About me? Not sure. Maybe that I am loyal to the queen. (pondering) Yes, Loyality and Honor. I think my friends and even others would know I would give my life for them.
What is you favorite season? Why? Summer, clearly Summer. I love the heat.
Do you have a favorite annual festival? I'm not the type for festivals, so no favourite there.
Which god do you follow? Why? None - clearly as water. The only god I pay respect is Bràgon
And why is that? Cause he did granted help at the most dire point in my life - His Dragon Son Anchalargos did help me safe Gobaith.
Which god don't you like or which gods concepts are hard to accept for you in daily life? Since I do not care for gods, their concepts not bother me much.
Did you never think about any other their ways or teachings:'I can't accept that for me?' No, really not. Maybe I am a free thinker, open-minded for all. I take things as they are
Are you good or evil or do you want to keep it a secret? (chuckles) Let's put it that way - I am chaotic good, sometimes my temper get the better of me.

Art Corner
Poem:
Aiming for the sparkling light,
Easy blinded by false pride
Staring down the abyss deep
Darkness crawls into his sleep
Fast, he looses faith to fight,
Was the end of a bright knight
A image got send to us:
We were told it depicts Valherian.
Special: Festival of Gratitude
The festival of Gratitude was held at the fields in front of Gamlair's town gates. A very large fire lit the area, surrouned by tables and chairs. A place for offerings had been build up, two neatly formed stone circles and decorated by large plants. Also, tables had been arranged, where drinks and food was layed out for the guests - and the very hungry, thief that showed up.
Among the participants were Katharina Brightrim Countess of Cadomyr and Oxiana, Left Hand of the Don of Galmair's. Both were seen talking with a travelling bard from Runewick.
Kaelyn, also from Runewick, played a wonderful song an the lute, later she was seen flirting with her lover Drathe.
The Offerings were given to the gods, by placing them into two large stone circles, surrounded by tall grass. Later these offerings were turned into frinis blossoms by some miracle - so it was reported by participants of the event.
Upcoming events
* Adron's Wine Festival on the 23rd Adras ((23. 01. - 20:00))
The festival begins at 12:00. Meeting place is the tavern in sunny Cadomyr.
* Gambling Night on the 17th Naras ((29.01. - 21:30))
Meeting place is the tavern in Galmair. The fun starts about 16:30.

Training starts at noon.
Rumours:
Anonymous reported:
* Thief stole food at festival - Cook is angry! The Hemp Newstie calls out to the thief to write a anonymous letter on how the food tasted
* A gemmed peel heard about in Galmair! Who uses this? What goods to they bake with it?
* Oxiana is considering to sell his new born son! Buyers be warned: The baby cries a lot!
* Rumor has it, Bidukan tried to kill Azure Lynch in the open Street. Witnesses told, he was seen in front of the Guard House, aiming with a tense bow straight for his head from a short distance. Seemingly Miss Amelia Rotholz had to step in, taking position between them, slowly stepping closer. It is said that she touched gently, whispering to him. No one was able to hear her words, but Bidukan took down his bow and stepped back from his intention. As far as it is known, the incident did not bear any consequences, yet. Why would Mister Lynch refrain further investigation? And what is Miss Rotholz' role in this matter? And what will Bidukan say about these accusation?
* A somewhat disturbed chicken has been seen in Galmair early in the morning.
* There is a rumor that in Galmair mysterious creatures caused a drama. Involved were rabbits,a fox, a fairy, a wolf and even a black dragon. Origin is unknown. The trusted source also did tell that Bidukan was turned into a chicken, left for cooking by town guard Bre, because he threatened the creatures. Now it seems Bidukan has broken with Galmair after a hefty argue with Amelia, Inara and Azure. Apparantly Runewick has welcomed him warmly and with open arms.
*Another rumour has it Bidukan was seen in Gamair fully armoured looking for someone - we assume he wasn't looking for a smith to get him out of the armour
If you have any rumours from Runewick, Cadomyr, Galmair or the Wilderness - do share them with us by anonymous dove! Even little things can make huge rumours!
