BREAKING NEWS!
Stromness Citizens,
It pains me to have to write this in the town’s such high spirits, but we have been struck with a devastating loss. Earlier this week, our beloved King Declan Stirling was found in the depths of Mystara’s bay, drowned. Those who read the Tribune regularly will note that his majesty was currently on a quest to Aradia in hopes of diminishing trade and contact with the Kokarri. He was on his way back to the island his ship was caught in a storm and strayed from its path, resulting in shipwreck.
As of now, no one on the isle is to be the blame for this tragedy. Our King died of natural causes in hands of the sea god’s fury. We must now turn to our Queen, Aiyana, for guidance and strength in this most difficult time. Needless to say, Stromness has missed a great man but we will continue to push on and not let this be a downfall.
Let us celebrate the life of our King and mourn his passing. For those of you who wish to attend, a funeral is being held tomorrow, the 24th, at the church around 6pm. Please note that we will not tolerate interruption and any who cause chaos or disrespect in the presence of this funeral will be escorted out and/or reprimanded by the guards.
Gods Preserve You,
Town Crier Humphrey
It is with great sorrow that the Tribune distribute this message; less than a month ago, the good King Declan left the realm, leaving the newly crowned Queen Aiyana de la Vega to lead the Human Kingdom and oversee the village of Stromness. This news comes at a very turbulent time, with Eyr issuing threats, whispers of shadowy markets and odd missing reports. We can only hope that the strength of character shown in Queen Aiyana’s response holds firm.
Distribution and afterword by the Associated Scribes.
