Noble Kalesh ir'Semhel Found Dead
In the early hours of Zol, 10th of Therendor, the notably titled Kalesh ir'Semhal was found dead in his home by his night watch guard.
The renowned importer of Q'Barran antiquities and other regional goods had reportedly been flayed of his skin whilst alive, the guard found him trying to reach the door to his room when he died.
A privately hired inquisitive from the S.P.I.R.E. company has insinuated draconic connections, claiming to have found what he describes as "The entire shed skin of a humanoid lizard, yet strangely no sign of ir'Semhel's skin was present".
His death is thought to be connected with a heated argument with a rival noble, Paxor ir'Somera, at the Street-Kind Charity Ball two days earlier. The city watch are currently searching for the noble in question but his whereabouts are unknown.
Although reports are hazy it is thought that several hours after his death, Kalesh ir'Semhel was seen to be withdrawing from his Kundarak account in Korranath.
It is also a reputed fact that much of Khorvaires Dream Lily is imported from Sarlona through the tiny inlets on the Q'Barran coat, and if the gossip is to be believed then ir'Semhel may have had his fingers in that pie.
Vermin Problems Escalate in Skyreach Tower
A constant stream of insects, arachnids, bugs, beetles and other critters of all varieties has become a huge problem to residents of Skyreach Tower on the Menthis Plateau. For those of you unfamiliar with the tower, it is one of the largest in the quarter, it grows from Downstairs, through Cassan Bridge and into the Seventh Tower district.
Reports have gradually been growing over the past few months of pest control agencies being inundated with reports of creepy crawlies running amok in the vicinity of the tower.
One resident reports, "I don't know where they're coming from, we've got no cracks in the walls that we can see and we don't leave the place in a state that would attract them. It's about time the coucil listened to us and did something about it."
Another concerned resident states, "Well about a week ago old Gerard got chased out of his stables by a huge great spider, no one can say where it came from, it was lucky for him that the watch were patrolling the street nearby when it happened."
Residents of Downstairs are voicing their concerns about the number of scavenging and carrion birds that are gathering in the volcanic land at the base of the plateau, "It's just not healthy," says one resident, "All that muck those horrid birds are creating, when the wind changes the smell is indescribable".
The council representatives of Middle Menthis have made the following statements:
Savia Potellas - Lower Menthis Plateau
"Something has to be done. The residents of Skyreach Tower are suffering, whether this is a refuse or waste issue i'm not yet sure, but one thing i am certain of is that these people can't all afford to hire extermination services and it is a certainty that disease will follow."
Caskar Halavik - Middle Menthis Plateau
"As the problem is growing we have to take a long hard look at the hygiene of the lower wards. This is obviously a problem, that is growing from the ground up. It is an issue that Potellas should be facing head on."
Thurik Davandi - Upper Menthis Plateau
"There have been several reports of larger vermin reaching the streets of the upper levels of Skyreach Tower, but thus far there have been no casualties and there has been no source of this incursion found, all we can assume is that they are find their way up the tower from the lower levels, perhaps following the streets or up the outer walls."
After a hearty breakfast Chalit and the group part ways. The newly named "Crimson Fist" company head out to Turvin and Chalit continues his journey to Korranberg.
