In a still developing story, a tragic story that leaves many feeling unsafe and seeking answers from the church. Residents in Messaris and Sudbury have heard the tales of Jasper's triumphant victory against the Syndicate alongside the rest of the Knights involved in the raid. The story of the lengths he went to rescue Asphira, his student, has been an endearing tale that only brings more heartbreak when reports arrived of his death during an incursion to Moonfall a few months later.
Beheaded by savages, and not given a proper burial, many report that it was a overwhelming shock. Some thought it impossible, while others looked to Asphira as she was expected to carry his torch. This only deepened the wound the latest news had brought when Jasper was found alive and in one piece despite numerous witnesses to his beheading. With Jasper walking again, this gives rise to the thought that perhaps he is not the real Jasper, but a fake.
The most extreme of the rumors say that he is in fact alive, but not well. It is no secret that many suspect the ritualistic nature of Moonfall has been attributed to witchcraft, and many believe that Jasper is a creation of said heresy. The evils of Moonfall has given the Order back one of their prized knights, and any knight who had questioned how Jasper could walk again after losing his head months ago was threatened to be jailed. One knight Nerin, was taken away.
Many residents are seeking prayer and protection at the church as this is sure to bring evils untold. Many question how the Exarchs and Radiants can allow this, but reports say that Atrosus Vandigan was not only defending Jasper, but was deeply infatuated with the witch-like woman who governs over Moonfall leaving many thinking the Order has lost its way. ??
The article goes on to speculate the potential for impersonation and reasons for it, such as protecting the reputation of the Order.

For ten months, farmers have been experiencing extreme hardships as crop production has ground to decisive halt. Many plants from the previous harvest season hasn't returned many seeds and the Osronan seed merchants have not been around in some time. Some say the drought is affecting the entire kingdom, others blame the taxes the merchants have to pay. Whatever it is,the working class of Messaris is hurt the most by the lack of seeds.
Lucky farmers who had stockpiles during the seed boom are the only ones still producing, and many farmers who were stuck without are learning from those who were more forward thinking about the situation. Could this be a sign of a greater issue in Osrona? ??
The article goes on to describe seeds, the job of a farmer, and how the seed shortage affects them over the next few pages.

This article gives a brief summary of what it's like to be a constable and the way Knights are constantly encroaching on law-enforcement and the watch. It is a difficult line to toe as Knights tend to think they have the most authority. Names have been omitted and a number of questions as well. At the end of the story a more thorough interview is promised.
PG 8.
The elections have made its first major update since the Sudbury debate. All candidates have been removed from the running with the exception of nobleman Claude vey Pelleaux, and Faith endorsed Erick Falstrik. The consensus on the streets of Messaris and Sudbury say that this is a rigged election. The candidates who were removed from the race resonated with their constituents, and the remainders only resonate with the pockets of those of the upper class.
Many are dissatisfied with the results and have been very vocal about it. The consensus is alaringly clear, "No one in Sudbury wants them, and most hasn't even heard of them" --Sudbury Resident circa 1665AC. The recent developments have even lead people to question the raid of the First Light and the allegations that Iris Arsali was a member of the syndicate. The alleged story dictates that the Order did not want a Rhoynish mayor in Sudbury, and used her Rhoynish descent and radical platform to substantiate a claim of her ties to terrorist organizations, and assassinated her before the elections could advance.
This certainly would ease their minds as a Sudbury favorite is taken out of the running and disgraced. No knight has been available to comment or refute these claims, but this story will be followed up in a future issue. ??
The pages go on to talk about the platforms of Claude and Erick separately.
