The Ireem Merchant Guild is looking for people to act as bodyguards for members that have been threatened or attacked by the assassin. The guild will protect its members. So any interested in taking on this role should please submit their applications to Ulric Dalglish either in person at The Ship Inn or by IM. I am looking to hire on Monday.

I shouldn't be writing this, I really shouldn't, but I fear I've no choice in the matter. The undead and slavers and djinn are working together, conspiring against ...something! I tried to follow them to a meeting down in the combs last night, but the mean, nasty Oce and Xan stopped me and chased me out, blocking the freedom of the press.
Lo and behold, I stumbled upon some grates, up in the palace that allowed me to overhear them speaking, and listen I did!
It seems they've captured Knight Dream, I heard Hojo kicking and hitting this poor, helpless knight, once he shackled him, they then discussed how to make sure he stays alive,until today at least, when he can then die because their plan will come to fruition. Hojo mentioned bartering the princess for the knights, saying he could do it, and I was simply horrorfied.
It seems one of the undead then heard me walking over their heads and somehow...sent a djinn to threaten me to be gone, this unknown Djinn, in as few words as possible, made sure I left my place of...simply enjoying the palace plants, and could no longer overhear the plans being made. From what I understand, the djinn, the undead, and the slavers are going to keep Dream enslaved and away until their plans are finished.
Can anyone figure this out, it makes my head spin. Does this have to do with our Sultana's assassination? After the killing in the bathhouse, of the suspected assassin, I dont' know what to think anymore!

It has been half a year since I came to Ireem, lost, tired, hungry, searching for a place to belong as well as something from my past. I cannot help but think of the kindness of the original bath house owner who took me in at first, of Elder and Ulric, of Prince Pawlaew, and so many others who have helped and protected me.
Yet, the city has become such a violent place recently. Today, this violence came to my own place of business, a place which I tried to keep as a safe place for all. I detest violence, and after this brutal event I think it's perhaps time that I move on to another place. Some of you might know I was a travelling merchant before I came to Ireem. I will be leaving with the next caravan. Salaam, people of Ireem, may Allah bring you safe paths.

Three sisters after careful watch at Slavers Bay, decided it was a good time to dive into the sea and steal the slavers hidden treasure.. For months the gold glimmering at the bottom of the sea has had the sisters attention.. While the crowd gathered at the auction yard.. Heavenly and Olive stood guard while SugarKane, with her great swimming abilities, dove down .. time and time again .. bringing up handfuls of the slavers gold. After 5 dives and coming up with nearly all of the gold, SugarKane escapes the Octopus that suddenly appears, ending her diving expedition. While escaping the Octopus she also escapes being nearly captured by Con Moonites.. with the gold tucked in their silks the sisters run to the auction and blends in the crowd.

*A hastily written note on a crumpled piece of paper is resting in the news box, signed by one of the attendants at the bathhouse.*
Oh, something terrible has happened! When I came in today, I found a body floating in one of the baths! I called for guards, knights, anyone who would listen, and it was taken away and the bath cleaned, but I still can't bring myself to go to work. I can't help wondering if the body might be of the Sultana's... killer? The... body.... was dressed in black and he looked like an assassin. It was a man, who looked like he hadn't shaved in a long while. His face was ugly, and he looked like he died in a lot of pain. It was truly terrifying. The guards said he had been stabbed eight times, four in the front and four in the back. They seemed to think that the.... precision? I think they said?... was important, like it was a proffessional. It was all so disgusting, and left such a mess, I don't know what to do. ...Oh! I almost forgot the note! I was... written in his blood on the floor. It said, "Leave now". They wiped it away, of course, but I can't help thinking of it every time I see the bathhouse. Everyone needs to know, no one is safe any more!
There was talk of giant bugs passing through Ireem and swarming the city. Could this be true or were some drinking the bad water again??? Well, someone managed to get pictures of this incedent. We believe they are just passing through but who knows..... things are getting stranger every day in Ireem.

This was left for me as I slept....ask me for pictures if you'd like to see them
I am here to Challeng Rock Garzo, He is a paper champion, and I wish to bring the championship back to Ireem!!! If he does not respond to my challenge, then let it be known to all those who are in Ireem that I am the champion of the land. I am sick and I am tired of seeing his picture all over the place when he has gone away never to return! I have beaten him twice in his last two HUGE battles in the middle of the arena that many people right now can attest to. After those battles (which were not for his title conveniently) he was done and faded away not to be seen until this day. Rock knew then, and he knows now that I have his number.I want Rock Garzo's Championship and I WANT IT NOW!

My appearance here was no random incident, this land is plauged by several shadows. Another is no danger in my eyes, be wary...I will be watching very closely to this world. I could know things about you that you don't want known. It is time for this ghost to rise out of the shadows and prepare itself for destiny. Should you seek me, know that I will not come to you. I will be there, but you must know where to find me. For the right price, or perhaps the proper deal, you can get anything.
Be not afraid afraid to ask, your wish may be granted. My loyalty is for sale, and if your offer is good enough you will receive it. Be warned, though, your target may have a better offer and you may find yourself on the recieving end of the very thing you sought. I am the ghost, I am the winds on the sands, and I am ready to play...

This letter was left in my mailbox today..please folks, read it carefully, and if you've any info at all, either drop me an NC at my mailbox or send me one via messenger.
"*A plain scroll case is sitting in the drop box. Inside is a rolled up leaf of expensive looking paper. The note contained within is brief, signed by a guard, but with no name attached.*
I've agonized for some time about what to say about this, if anything. My superiors want the matter kept secret, but I'm increasingly concerned that such secrecy will only make matters worse, as the knights looking into the Sultana's death will be left without vital leads. Last night, one of the guards observed a hooded figure skulking about in the shadows. We believe the intruder - it may have been a woman, but no one saw the figure close enough to be sure - was trying to break into the Royal Harem, for reasons unknown. Once spotted, the intruder swiftly escaped, moving with a speed and grace I've never before witnessed, at least not in any normal human. A search of the palace afterward revealed that the library downstairs had been searched. We nearly missed that, save for a small scratch on one of the desks where, presumably, the intruder picked a lock to get inside. A number of the papers and documents within had been rearranged, but none seemed to be missing. So far, we have found no clues as to the identity of the intruder, but it's my fear this may be connected to the Sultana's assassination, as he or she was seen trying to get into the Palace's private quarters. I trust everyone will understand that I cannot identify myself for fear of losing my position, given the order of silence. Hopefully, attention from the city paper will help us to expose this intruder."

It seems the Naga are soon to be arriving in our city..those who know the lore...know to be frightened, sadly they have not yet learned of our Sultana's demise.
"Djinn,
You are reading this letter for a reason, we all know that you could sense our arrival. The city in the sand will know of us soon. Worry not, though, we do not bring tidings of war and hatred to the humans. We will be sending a member of our royal family to do the tidings with the humans Sultana. We will not accept the disrespect of being ignored by her, these are to be peaceful negotiations as well...any disturbances will bring about the tides of war. Know this...we are Naga, we have existed generations before even many Djinn.
Regards,
Ssnaruth
Naga Seer"
