LADY OF THE LAC SEEKS ADDLED DAUGHTER
A visitor to the Court this e'en, one Lady Brigitte DuLac, came in search of her insane daughter Adameyr.  She explained that her late husband was one of the mages killed in the Kel Corice explosion last year, and that he had entrusted some great secret to their daughter, something that was going to be a gift to the Court.  He did this, confident in her inability to share that secret with anyone else, but was killed before he could retrieve it from her mind.  Adameyr has been missing for two months now; she is described as being in her early twenties, a tall shapely blonde very similar in appearance to her mother.  Duke Lorath and Paladin Aeric seemed to recall someone fitting that appearance--and sharing the same strange mannerisms as described by Lady Brigitte--visiting the Court a week or so ago.  The queen assured the distraught mother that steps would be taken to find her errant daughter.

DUKE INSULTS WANDERING KNIGHT, IS KILLED
Sir Ector (no relation), a wandering knight, challenged the duke for 
suggesting that he was a miscreant.  Duke Lorath, who was running Court 
last week in the absence of the queen, had refused to allow the knight 
entrance, stating that there had been too much trouble with observers lately.  After Court, the duke met the insulted knight on the challenge 
field, where he promptly dropped with swords and allowed himself to be 
slain by the knight.  Sir Ector was in turn challenged by Duke Lorath for 
questioning his right to run Court.  Ector pulled the same damn thing.

NEW PERCIVAL KNIGHT
Mikayla was knighted this e'en as a member of the Order of Prince Percival.  Congratulations!

ZIRCHIR
Richard of Zirchir appeared after a long absence to inquire about possible reparation for the defeat of his "army" last year at the hands of the Warwickian Army.  He was given a stern dressing-down by Queen Flidais, and then he left.

THE ISLAND OF DON'T-GO-THERE
A sailor by the name of Andrew Robinson appeared in Court this e'en, to 
tell a tale of a strange island protected by large amounts of sea creatures.  The climax of his tale came in the form of a fifty-foot long tentacle which destroyed the ship he was on.  He was the only survivor of the wreck, and he claimed that he could hear the screams of many of his shipmates as they met some new horror while trying to swim towards the island.  He wisely swam in the opposite direction.  The exact location of the island could not be determined, but it sounded an awful lot like the location of the volcanic island that recently appeared three days to the east of Warwick.  As always, ships are encouraged to avoid the area, even though no one can actually tell us where the area we are supposed to avoid is....

NAVAL REVIEW
A Morris from Lyonesse came to the Court angrily demanding backup, 
apparently forgetting in his haste that his is a conquered nation and is in no position to demand anything.  He reported that the enormous fleet 
reported to be heading our way from the north simply passed on by, 
continuing south to parts unknown.

FORMER PAGES GET NAKED!  IN OTHER NEWS, WATER IS WET
The Fortune's Folly page class presented their fund-raising auction this e'en.  Many wonderful items and services were presented for sale, and a 
good amount of money was raised by them.  Huzzah!

VALRIC GETS A NEW HAT
Sirrah Valric returned to Court this e'en in complete command of his 
faculties.  He apologized to the Court for his earlier behavior, explained that Lacon returned his memories to him as a gesture of goodwill but failed to edit out the part where he was the one responsible for taking them away in the first place, and presented the queen with Lacon's hat as proof(?) of his death.

ONE HELL OF A POEM
Damsel Duck presented a poem this e'en as part of her quest for first level Percival.  The subject of the poem was the quest that she and her page-
siblings embarked upon prior to their squiring.

SWORD-SNATCHING ATTEMPT FAILS 2
Duke Lorath reported that about forty semi-golemlike creatures came to 
his abode in another attempt to steal the meteoric iron sword left behind 
by Ambassador Kendral.  He told the Court how he used the sword to defeat the would-be sword-nappers; their leader stayed in the background and left once all of his(?) minions had been destroyed.  Queen Flidais 
enigmatically revealed that it was her evil counterpart that was after the sword.

ADDER SCHOOL FOR MERCENARIES BURNS DOWN
Sirrah Adder reported that the school for mercenaries that his family was 
building in Lankhmar had been burned to the ground.  Also, his brother 
Grey was killed in the fire.  No news on whether or not this fire was set on purpose or just another instance of bad fire coding in the Shire.

SYMMAROK DROPS NOTES IN HALLWAY
Lord Ptolomei revealed to the Court that he had found one of Lady Moira's old charms against the vampire Symmarok on the floor in the Citadel hall-
way earlier that e'en.  There was a note attached which read: "you might be needing this."  As Lord Camerus (a friendly vampire) told the Court during his visit a few weeks ago, Symmarok is rising in power again.

BLUE MAN GROUP RETURNS
Sirrah Vox came into Court with some distressing news this e'en.  He 
claimed that the so-called "blue dimension" that was causing Warwick so 
much trouble last year was about to collide with our own dimension.  This 
collision was going to take place in about 45 seconds, he said.  It didn't.  Or...did it...?

MARRIAGE ANULLED...AGAIN....
Now that the real Flidais was back on the throne of Warwick, our hapless 
Grand Knight got to go through the torturous process of telling her about 
his (other) wife and child.  Again.  Just as the evil empress had done some weeks before, Queen Flidais anulled her marriage to Sir Ender.  Again.
