Due to the recent price hike in the Fatted Calf, one of the most popular eatery in Ireem. The Chronicles decided to send one of our reporter to speak to the owner, Urso, to find out more about the reason behind this price hike.
It was not an easy task to track down the Fatted Calf owner. Ever since he returned to his old profession of being a knight in the city, he was spending most of his time dealing with the criminals in and around Ireem, as well as his army of female admirers from all races (including one elderly magi who nickname Mr Urso “The Cutie Pie”). Finally, after spending a lot of time stalking and waiting, our reporter finally manage to get a word from Mr Urso on the matter, while he is on his usual duty around the city.
“The price increase?” Mr Urso kindly talked to us while he was standing behind the bush outside of the city wall, doing erm……. Something smelly…… ,”Well unlike other business owner, it wasn’t a political reason, or some silly demand I am trying to hold against the city, it was actually much much simpler than most people think.”
“What would that be, Mr Urso,” our reported asked, while blocking his nose with a wet towel.
“It was a simply economic reason. Too many people has been winning money from the card game, ever since the new regulation comes into place and force us owner to pay out more money to the winner. Someday I would come into and my staff would tell me we are owing the bank money because of all the money people are winning from the card game!”
“Therefore, until further notice, I will have to keep the price up in order to pay for this increase cost.”
Needless to say, our reporter quickly thanked Mr Urso for giving up his time for the interview, and quickly ran away before the smell got too much.

The Chronicles can report that an intruder was broken into the palace undetected and left two "gifts" for the Sultana
In the early morning, the palace guards who was doing the round has discovered two paintings were left in the Sultana’s bedroom and study. The paintings featured the rather unflattering rear end of the intruder, and after much struggle (Due to the inevitable sickness and throwing up after seeing the paintings), the guards managed to remove the paintings from the palace.
The palace and the knights are calling for anyone who recognise the intruder (either from the mask or the rear end) to come forward. A small meagre reward will be issue to the anyone who first presents the owner of the rear end to the Imperator or the Palace guards.

The Chronicles can report that a series of attacks in the Ireem by a Grapist
The attacker, who according to eyewitness, shared a strong resemblances with the owner of the Fatted Calf, cornered his victim in the city, and then proceed the assaults in front of a number of witnesses. In the typical fashion of Ireem, most witnesses didn’t attempt to halt the graping, and instead just stood and watch in amusement. Dressing in purple grape-like outfit, he was seen running around and terrorising the city all night with his graping. “It was so scary,” one eye witness said to our reporter, “I was just walking in the city and all the sudden this grapist tried to grab me and told me he would grape me in the mouth!”
Another victim, who we will protected her identity and referred her as “The Fluffy Fae”, was threaten to be “tied to the radiator and grape for weeks and weeks”. She was accused by the grapist that she was asking for it because of what she was wearing. “I was only wearing purple,” the Fluffy Fae told our reporter in her sobbing voice, “Women should be allow to wear what they want without fearing to be grape!”
The Knight’s spokesperson issued this brief statement, “We would like to warn all the citizen to be careful and watch out for this grapist. There is also no evidence that the owner of the Fatted Calf is indeed the grapist. So please do not speculate until we have further evident.”
