GL-Kitezh: moderate known by connected, trace cost 1, expires 05 Apr
Title: Came, Saw, Didn't Feed The Bears
==============================================================================
The intrepid Captain and crew of the Wave Dancer have proven to be solid allies of the new Kitezh as well as the old. After working with Wulfgar Gereson to guide his stranded clan home, they had delivered supplies from Rebma and stayed on for a couple of weeks of the harsh winter season besides, befriending the people and exploring the surrounding wilderness.
Then, two nights before their scheduled departure, the vulnerable habitation had been menaced by a sleuth of enormous bears out of the frozen woods. Members of the outskirts patrol can recount how they came upon the strange Kite berzerker from the visiting ship, heading off the beasts in the stump-studded snow meadow. The desperate engagement had dropped several warriors before the group found a working team strategy to bring down just one giant, yet they would have been overwhelmed had Flame and her formidable associates not shown up to stem the tide. Savage feats were performed that night, and the field was awash with steaming viscera and massive carcasses when it was all over. At fourteen feet upright, the bears yielded dozens of good steaks, roasts, and so forth, and though most pelts would need mending they would make fine warm blankets after being tanned and cured.
And when the Wave Dancer set sail for Shadow on the next leg of their adventures, it was proudly agreed the stay in Kitezh had whetted their appetites well for the perils which still lay ahead.

GL-Rebma: murmur known by connected, trace cost 1, expires 19 Jan
Title: Murder At Sea
==============================================================================
Nobody would be surprised to hear that people kill each other in Amber, despite the traditional value placed on their lives. This particular drowning death is unusual due to the fact that the man's corpse was found by a naval patrol within the Rebman Triangle, somehow having made it that far out to Sea while weighed down by rocks. Odd.

Title: Party On, Dudes
==============================================================================
The Regent has sent out a notice to all Rebmans: Hear ye! Hear ye! The Warden of the Deep, Lieutenant-Colonel Merrisol, captain of the Solar Flare and a Lord of House Morfilod has been wed to Lady Margaret Elizabeth Lasair; Captain Flame of the Wave Dancer, the Regent's beloved Cousin. "It is with great pleasure that his lordship, Martin, Regent of Rebma and the Deep Peoples and the hand of Moire, Monarch Beneath the Waves announces the marriage of his cousin into the esteemed House Morfilod. Though the marriage itself was no lavish affair and held at Sea under witness of Salt and Wind it was attended by such notables as Lady Raphaela, Lord Kincaid, Princess Miriam, Princess Amethyst, Lady Marlene and many others. Let it be known that the House is poised to welcome Lady Maggie in dereference to the Regent with high expectation of her worth. The marriage contract will last for one year from this day as spoken, signed and sealed by himself on this day. The marriage was officially witnessed in the name of Rebma by Dame Ryika Ygrayne and the Regent. It was performed by Admiral Prince Gerard of Amber. Given this great union, The Regent has let it be known that there is a celebration in Rebma beginning Late Tuesday night and lasting a fortnight hence, ample time for all who wish to honor their union."
In Rebma, it is well known of the Regent's affection for his red-headed cousin and not much of a surprise that she has married into Rebma. It is also rumored that the Lady Dryssana Morfilod, High Priestess of Lir is expecting a visit from the newlyweds to the temple of Lir and that the Countess of Morfilod is rather smug at having landed not one but two powerful connections in a short period of time. There is heavy speculation that it is only a matter of time before that house gains status because of these two marriages. There is also talk Marchioness Gallmau Ygrayne nearly threw a fit when she heard and expects that Dame Ryika will of course one-up Morfilod. Right? Of Course right!

Mead Brawl
Jul. 26th, 2014 08:00 pm------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gossip C0J: Mon Jul 28 11:07:45 2014 by Merrisol (public)
AL-City: intensity murmur, trace cost 1, expires 04 Aug
Title: Ain't a Party 'Til Something Breaks
==============================================================================
The Mead Hall, famous for its lively, loud atmosphere, lusty wenches, and generous tankard sizes to suit the hulking people of Kitezh, has hosted special royal parties in the past. This latest was the most memorable yet, as the glowing God-King himself made an appearance after his introduction at Random's Court, and with the help of the Amberite King's magnanimous gift of surplus fine mead, incited kinsmen and guests alike to gorge, guzzle, and carry on in honour of his engagement to Princess Amethyst.. who, apparently, was not personally in attendance.
In addition to a table laden with gifts to the couple, loud patriotic singing, and fast stompy dances, a number of friendly sparring matches broke out for the entertainment of King Viktor and attendees. Prince Gerard was said to pitch Lord Dirk headlong into a vat of mead, rendering the resulting batch almost undrinkable.. almost! Then, to the raucous delight of the Kite gathering, a real fight sparked between two formidable specimens.. bitter and seething.. over a lady acquaintance? Yes, that would be the likely catalyst!
When the verbal exchange escalated abruptly to frenzy, Kincaid, Knight-Commander of the Oisen went for the throat of the supposedly-reformed pirate Captain Merrisol, and it was ON. As Kites thundered encouragement, even level-headed comrades gave up trying to stop them, and the two waged brutal, bloody, booze-fueled battle across numerous tables, with seemingly bottomless reserves of energy and fury. Property damage was almost as alarming as the wounds inflicted, but all was well under the approving gaze of the King of Kitezh. When at last the son of Brand stood in clear triumph (then himself keeled over), the people agreed the bloodthirst quotient alone was met and sent the combatants on their way (in a cart) with a barrel of quality mead as thanks for services rendered. Nevermind whether the underlying issue was even resolved in this manner. But those rarely ever are.
