Discourse Headlines - Osronan News Print

[Discourse]

It was only a matter of time, of course. Did you think you could get by simply on rumors whispered in dark alleyways?

There comes a time in every Ookami's life when he looks in the mirror, straightens up his pinstriped pettycoat, makes sure that his ears are properly shaved for the noble outings, and asks himself, 'what is it that I want from life?' Well, I'm sure I speak for many of us when I say that all of us, everyone here, wants the truth. No, not that truth! The other truth. You know, the one that makes you swell up inside with whatever emotion you prefer at the moment, whether it be mild amusement or unbridled rage? Yeah, yeah that's the truth I'm talking about.

But just how do you get this truth, I hear you scream, I hear you cry? Well, do not worry, for I have the solution for you.
Let me show you.


Oh my, but isn't that formatted wonderfully!

The Pelleaux's Gala, crashed?!

That's right, everyone. The word currently rocking the streets from Sudbury to the Crown Authority is that the party that the Pelleaux estate held in celebration of their nobility, in which the other noble houses were invited, was crashed!.. If you could call it that. It seems that while a myriad of angry peasantfolk, entertainers, and even a few invited guests attempting to force their way inside through the guardsmen, it provided ample opportunity for another group to get their way inside through uncertain circumstance. While the nobles bickered and feasted, there were reports of a rumbling noise from the household. While immediately thought to be fireworks, the festivities were quickly replaced with horror and what can likely only be considered to be absolute carnage. Many, many servants have been seen purchasing replacement tapestries and furnishings, and a few have even been seen removing ink-covered niceties out of the buildings over the last month or so.

Eye-witnesses report hearing a chant near the end of the Gala, calling out to, or for, our most irrevocably handsome and wonderful Exarch Knight Elijah Soleis. Perhaps one should seek him out, if they're more curious about the happenstance of what exactly happened at the Pelleaux Gala?

Discourse in Sudbury; A Riot?

It's not a surprise that the residents of Sudbury, since the massive influx of Rhoynish labor, have been unsettled and upset with their current living style. Many of them openly speak of things that would get most law-abiding citizenry arrested, and the mere mention of the First Light is enough to start a chain of arguments that would continue until I was blue in the face, aha! Recently, however, there's been rumors of a mass brigade of arrests, be they legitimate or not, coming from that area of Osrona. It sounds as if the nobility and the military are starting to take a more severe stance against the downtrodden and weak, and it sounds as if things are becoming rather unstable in our dear Sudbury.

In news related to this article, there's rumors that our Exarch Elijah and our Paladin Atrosus single handedly quelled a rebellion of ten magi and fifty non magi. In the wake of this 'riot', a good number of people were hauled off to prison, and a good number more were left to flee with their trails between their legs. This reporter notes seeing a few of the arrested party walking the streets again, however.

I wonder what kind of bargain they struck to get out of a capital crime?

And tonight's HIT STORY,

Sofia Pelleaux takes a stand, and her REAL role in all of this?

Over the course of the last year or two, one would be hard pressed to have NOT heard of this inspiring young noble woman, Sofia ven Pelleaux. In fact, just earlier this very evening, this reporter witnessed her and the Exarch Sparda in a battle of words amidst the common folk, taking place in the central region of the city, Osrona's beautiful park. While we aren't entirely sure what caused this debacle, both sides made it increasingly clear that the current state of the First Light is seen with caution and a squinted eye, and they even had one Cadet to make an example of. Indeed, a purple haired, nameless Cadet was forced to kneel at swordpoint and apologize to Sofia's face, although it appears that both Exarch Sparda and Sofia were more than unimpressed with his attitude, and even in this position, he spoke as if he were the ven Pelleaux's better, only apologizing after proper accosting.

While many may overlook such a thing, one must ask themselves a question in a situation like this; Do the Exarchs, the Radiant, and all of the First Light truly have control over their Knights, or have they let their powers go to their head? While they may be the greatest force of justice in the city, it makes one question why they almost seem above the law, for indeed if any of the common folk had done similar to the crimes the purple-headed lad was being accused of, they'd have been hauled off to a cell to await punishment.. But a mere apology upon their knees is enough? Furthermore, why was a Constable arrested for attempting to break up a spar between two Knights in the street, when several peasantfolk were arrested for doing the same?

Regardless, it sounds as if, at the very least, Exarch Sparda and Sofia ven Pelleaux are aimed and poised to attempt to reclaim the Knights and turn Osrona into a city worth respecting once more.. Though with the way they speak, the way they act, one can only question if they have the best intentions for Osrona in mind, or the best intentions for themselves.
