Several days ago the Sultana was cursed by a person or persons unknown. This curse while subtle became more obvious as the great Queen was suddenly sprouting horns and dancing very provocatively in public wearing silks not befiting a royal, but a pleasure slave. These actions created much fear and confusion within the city, as more people fell under the strange curse, including two of the Knights of the Order, Sylvia and Hitomi, Hitomi falling prey to the curse and going insane attacking people who approached her.
In addition, mysteriously two constellations have vanished leaving only darkness where they once shined. The great Warrior, Orion, and Taurus the Bull. This encroaching darkness has been blamed on the Undead though no signs of their involvement have been found as of yet. Nor have they come forth to take any responsibility.
Last friday saw one chapter of this saga come to an end. In a bold move the Knights of the Order, Lillie Boscurrio, Urso Kronsage, and Sylvia escorted the Sultana to the catacombs to seek out a way to remove the curse. Suprisingly Damien agreed to help and attempted to free the Sultana of the darkness that had claimed her.
After freeing the Sultana, Fury started to fight Richard once more in an attempt to curse the Sultana once again, when she was taken down and forced into submission once again the feathers destroyed. Although Fury seemed to have been instrumental in this curse running rampat through the city it is still unknown who is the mastermind behind this scheme, not to mention what power is blacking out the stars and if they will return or more will fall to he same fate.
The Chronicles also recieved a letter from our highness herself:
My dear people !
I only have one word: FORGIVNESS! I was told that last days I walked around half naked, had large horns on my head and was going to dance in the arabesque cafè with vulgar movements. And invited men to come and look at my body !! Things like that..... and even worse, like: I ordered a wizard to teach a sweet virgin slave everything about carnal pleasure!
I am deeply ashamed ! Those, who know me well, know that I am different ! Today I know that I was cursed, a force of evil took posession of me and I felt free and happy, but without understanding, I acted like that! Horrible!
Now everything is finished, I still only remorse for those whom I offended and abused and I'll try to make up for my misbehaviour. The slave girl, I'll give her freedom, financial and psychological support and call the best healer that can restore her virginity! I know this can be possible ! At the Slaver that I entangled with amorous and I've used only as objects of pleasure: my apologies, that was not me! Thanks to my knights and my ladies who, despite everything, have tried in every way to help.
Sultana Zanlu Heron
An anonymous source, that wants to be called „Huginn“ , talked about his thoughts in our office. Knowing about what had happened he has his own theory, and dear readers, this is as much interesting as it is disturbing. Here are some of his basic ideas, please make up your own mind and let us know what you think :
"The Sultana gave knight Milly permission to do anything neccessary to carry her war against the Undead. Sir Richard Braveheart tortured the undead girl Loona (Gatha Loon) by order of the knights, at this time Shevaunn began to act strangely, loosing more and more control of herself. It appears that these black feathers are the main cause, feathers that when worn bing out the darkness within.
Stars are dissapearing, another constellation fell last night, Cancer. In some way I believe this is a curse from a god or goddess. How else could the Sultana fall under a curse if not from the will of Zin Rah ? Perhaps as punishment or a warning for not keeping the Knight under control ?
The knights were falling into darkness, she is showing us what will happen to all of Ireem if we do not put a stop to the darkness within first before the one without. The knights must stand behind the gods they swore to follow, should we change the face of Zin Rah because she does not fit the way people worship, or because she does not care to see her followers fall into the hands of her Sister Hora Ma? I would not stop the Knights actions, but change them. Return to the true ways of the Knights !
I do have one more thing to add: If I have calculated the stars correctly, I believe the entire zodiac will be gone in just seventeen days from today if the person responsible continues his erasure every other night."

Huggin looks up at the stars quietly. Looking at the five soon to be four remaining constellations. "I'm afraid your words and what has been happening do not coincide nor mesh together. There is a difference between being hard and letting darkness fester inside. Granted it was Richard who saved the Sultanna, a man who was darker than most. But that still does not say how the Sultanna was cursed, how could one person slip in without notice and curse her? Obviously there is a corruption inside the very walls of the city that you ahve not focused upon. It's hard to protet a tree from rot when the trunk itself is eaten from within..."
