Town Crier Announcements



  • The Criers deliver this particular message in small groups, and near City Guards, in case any defenders get any ideas.

    **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! As many already know, Peltarch has suffered a viscious Ogre assault upon our vaunted walls! The Vile BEASTS were compelled to assault us by UNKNOWN agents acting against our Fair City!

    The Beasts were armed and deadly, with brutish strength and destructive magical energies they nigh RIPPED APART our City's mighty western defences! Indeed, those of you who are old enough to remember the Giant Wars of old, will wonder HOW our MIGHTY Walls could be so threatened by MERE Ogres where before they withheld even the FIERCEST of Giants!? The answer is SIMPLE!

    People of Peltarch, you have been WRONGED!

    People of Peltarch, you have been BETRAYED!

    People of Peltarch, you have been FORGOTTEN!

    WHY were our walls nigh USELESS!? They were not MANNED! Our IMPERVIOUS seige artilery was UNMANNED! Our sky reaching walls were UNMANNED! Our ENTIRE Western Defences were UNMANNED!

    Where were the NOBLE and STAUNCH Defenders of your LIVES? Where were the honoured and heroic men of the Giant Wars!? Where were them who fell and held back the Eastlanders for DECADES!?

    Has the last BRAVE soul in our army been CUT DOWN!? Or are they on the streets, BEGGING their comrades to stop BICKERING!? Either way, they are NOT on our walls! NONE of them were!

    Devin Telan, our most honoured Veteran of the Giant Wars! Our Leader of the Peltarch Defenders! Let your memory SHAME those whom you once held in utmost disipline! The Ogre assault was REPELLED, by Citizens of Peltarch and Knights of the Cerulean Stars! Shame! Shame, Defenders, Shame!

    Wronged! Betrayed! Forgotten! Hear Ye, People of Peltarch, Hear Ye!**

    ((Time will be this Thursday the 17th, starting at 10pm GMT, and no later. 🙂 ))



  • After a period of basic and day to day announcements which lasted a few years the town criers are once again dressed in their old smart black jackets and out three times a day, heralding the city's news and telling of major events in a familiar old style.

    **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Dread Magicks of Negative Energies assailed our mighty City once again this tenday! This attack was MOST deadly, but while the evil powers were stronger, so too were our noble City's Knights of the Cerulean Stars!

    The Elite Mystical Knights marched out of the commons en masse with a number of Volunteers from the city, inculding a unit of Defenders and Senator Mildsilver, to meet the cause of the FIENDISH assault upon the city! Indeed, the ENTIRE Watchtower was ablaze and the air BURNED and CRACKLED with magical doings of the highest order! The Knights quickly ascertained the nature of the magical threat with due aid from Senator Mildsilver and spent an EXAUSTIVE effort trying to destroy the VILE magical Pillars bringing the tirade of VIOLENCE and DESTRUCTION to the Fair Jewel of the Icelace!

    Eventually, once more the great mind of Senator Mildsilver deduced the location of the weakness of the Pillars and once eliminated, the Knights led the FINAL assault upon the cause of the deadly dweomerings! With a RESOUNDING report that shook the ENTIRE hillside, the Pillars errupted into a BLINDING shower of shards, the terrible power falling onto the city ceasing INSTANTLY!

    Under orders from Magistrate Barrim, the City Guard began to douse the fires and clear away rubble within the city itself, whilst the Knights remained on the hillside to douse and clean up the Watchtower, the work of the NOBLE and RESOLUTE members of the Peltarch Military AND The Temple of Tyr was to go on for many many days afterwards! Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The long time Senior Town Crier, Eowiel Senella, has STEPPED DOWN from her position and RETIRED from her Office! The Elven Lady has said that she simply has held the position longer than she can suitably fufill it and thus is allowing it to be given to someone more ABLE to hold it!

    For those citizens who do not know, the Office of Town Crier is under the DIRECT control of the Peltarch Magistrates and as such, Magistrates Barrim and Zephlin are expected to appoint a NEW Senior Town Crier who will continue the administration of the Jewel of the Icelace's noble staff of Criers, DEDICATED to bring URGENT information, TOPICAL news and other matters to YOU, The People of Peltarch!

    Applicants are to send a letter to the Office of the Magistrates detailing WHY they think they would make a GOOD, HONEST and RELIABLE Senior Town Crier. Pay is to be decided by the Magistrates but will likely remain at the current rate as paid to Miss Senella. Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • Once more, grim faced criers carry a short and terrible message to the people.

    Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Senators Ayanie and Adam Bromley have been slain, fighting for the welfare of the city. May they never be forgotten.



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Trial of Ikurus Darkrune has been DECIDED! Magistrate Evendur Mildsilver presided and brought up SEVERAL witnesses to hear their evidence! Sir Ikurus stod accused of many HENIOUS crimes! Grand Larceny of the Seafarer's Treasury, Grand Treason and distribution of ILLEGAL drugs!

    The young criminal was seated whilst the Magistrate Mildsilver systematically obtained all the evidence he required to give a JUST and FAIR sentence! Black Dragon Knights were stationed to prevent any manner of foulplay, guards assisted the Magistrate in moving the prisioner about and Knights of the Cerulean Star prevented the accused from casting any manner of magicks.

    On the count of Distribution of FOUL and ILLEGAL drugs, Ikurus was determined NOT GUILTY, due to lack of evidence.

    On the count of Grand Treason, Ikurus was again found NOT GUILTY, due to the actions of Senator Adam Bromley in tampering with witnesses.

    On the count of Grand Larceny, Ikurus Darkrune was found GUILTY AS CHARGED for planning to PILFER large quantities of wealth from the Vault of the Seafarer's Guild! The crooked thief was given FIVE YEARS inprisionment for his planned MISDEEDS as well as Lifetime Banishment from the City of Peltarch upon his release, UNDER PAIN OF DEATH!

    Magistrate Evendur Mildsilver has once again dispenced Justice in his characteristic concise and judicious manner! No more shall the Jewel of the Icelace be BOTHERED by this gang! Comendations to Senator Adam Bromley and his Advisor, the Lady Skyla and all who AIDED them in their EXPERT prevention of the crimes this group under Ikurus had been intending to commit! Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A most henious and FIENDISH crime has been commited within the city of Peltarch! A FOUL thief has taken some of Peltarch's most PRIZED hallmarks! Senator Rath Ashald is said to be ENRAGED and FURIOUS at the theft!

    Early in the smal hours of the morning, on the first day of Eleasias, a VILLAIN crept through the Civics District. He darted past the City Hall, down from the main plaza, across the bridge and into Ashald Park. Therein he commited his DISPICABLE ROBBERY!

    No less than an entire BUNCH of Peltarch's FINEST flowers have been stolen from Ashald Park, their broken stems remaining behind as PROOF of the devious theft and the ARROGANCE of the pilferer! Magistrates Barrim and Evendur are said to be working ALL HOURS in conjuntion with Captain Dunderstone and Senators Koreth and Ashald to recover the PRECIOUS flowers!

    Will they meet with success? Only TIME and DEDICATION will tell! Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The life of our BELOVED Senator Myrie Makare is to be commemorated by her precious Bards at the Bardic College in the form of a GRAND PRODUCTION in her honour! The Production is oficially set to have three BEDAZZLING Acts, each dedicated to the kind lady we ALL miss every day!

    The First Act shall be a musical piece based upon one of dear Myrie's greatest loves in life. The Second Act is a play newly written and dedicated to Myrie Makare by the playwrights and the Third Act is to be a variety of talented bards working in unison to create their perfromance, as Myrie always loved to see.

    A Statue honouring Senator Myrie Makare is to be unveiled in the theatre and the Production is entitled; "Rememberance - The Patron Saint of Arts" in honour of the truest supporter of the Bardic Way Peltarch EVER had. Admission to this MASTERFUL social event, which NONE can afford to miss be they Senators or beggars alike, is FREE of charge, as Senator Makare would have wanted it!

    ALL are encouraged and urged to attend, the day PROMISES to be entertaining and enjoyable for everyone! Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**

    ((Event to be held this coming Saterday the 21st of November, at 12 Noon EST, which is 5pm GMT, as a cautious preliminary time. If this changes there will naturally be an announcement to reflect that too 🙂 ))



  • Hear Ye, Hear Ye! A bounty has been placed upon Zargothis, the vile and most evil villain, long a FOE to our city! This fiend can be seen by his skeletal hand, dark armour and malign evil presence. Those attemping to bring in this bounty are advised to use EXTREME caution in their attempts, as this foe is one of the STRONGEST Peltarch has ever placed a bounty upon, thereby explaining the extremely large bounty his death has been granted. We ADAMANTLY suggest only those CERTAIN of a stratagem to defeat this monster dare to attempt to obtain this bounty, hear ye!



  • The announcement is given by grim looking criers, is short and to the point, lacking any of Eowiel's usual style. Judging by her reaction to the assasinations, it is highly likely she assigned the task to a junior crier.

    Hear Ye, hear Ye! Senators Shana Je'laan and Myrie Makare have been assasinated by forces hostile to the city of Peltarch. They will be mourned. Measures to procure the perpetrators are being undertaken. Hear Ye!



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Adam Bromley and Roland Brynmor have both suffered VILE and DISPICABLE attempts on their lives! Each attempt was designed to show the other as responsible for this HENIOUS act of underhanded TREACHERY! Let it be known throughout the streets of Peltarch that NEITHER Adam Bromley nor Roland Brynmor could ever even CONTEMPLATE these foul and vile deeds!

    Many of you have heard the speeches given by these honourable men, DENOUNCING the cowardly WRETCHES who are truely behind this ploy to sully the names of these GOOD men of our Noble City! The one or ones responsible for these acts be not only CURS, but they also WALLOW in the depths of IDIOCY to think that our vaunted citizens, our noble city and our honourable candidates could be taken in by such a FOPPISH and poorly thought out deception!

    The People of Peltarch are all INTELLIGENT and the DOGS who have tried in VAIN to pull the WOOL over your eyes have clearly underestimated EVERY single man, woman and child in Peltarch. None among us, the people of the Jewel of the Icelace could POSSIBLY be fool enough to fall into this rediculous game. Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • Hear Ye, Hear Ye, Zephlin Re'cual has resigned from his positions within our honourable city and has departed in honour. May he live more prosperously and charily than he did here, Hear Ye, Hear Ye!



  • Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Captain Anakore of the Knights of the Cerulean Star has returned to our noble city once more after his recent vacation! Glad are we to have such a RELIABLE and HEROIC figure back once again in Peltarch!



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye, the Magistrate Zephlin Re'cual, the Lady Gildor and the Knight Skyla Vea'draven have been AQUITTED of their acusations! They are found to NOT be responsible for the VILE and DISPICABLE drug trafficking which caused our grand City so much GRIEF!

    People of Peltarch, look not unto this as a FAILING, rather look to it as a REPRIEVE! For in punishing the INNOCENT the GUILTY grows all the more MIRTHFUL! Nay, good folk of Peltarch, be not regretful of this verdict!

    Rather, let the furies of VENGENCE run through your veins! Let the cold RAGE of JUSTICE gild every bereaved heart! The TRUE man responsible is yet FREE! The TRUE villain lives on to plan FURTHER ATROCITIES upon our Fair City! The TRUE fiend still SEEKS to destroy what every MAN, WOMAN AND CHILD in Peltarch holds dear!

    Let your ANGER at this man fuel your SUPPORT of our Senate as they diliberate upon the BEST course of action to take in giving YOU, the People of Peltarch, justice and vengence for the WRONGS you have endured!

    Let your RAGE at this malign BEAST fuel your support of EVERYTHING Peltarch stands for! Everything WE stand for, HE opposes! Everything we LOVE, he would DESTROY! People of the Jewel of the Icelace!

    THIS IS PELTARCH AND WE ARE IT'S PEOPLE.

    Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The throngs of people outside of the Temple of Tyr speak the truth as clear as we do! The terrible affliction brought on by the VILE drugs consumed by many UNFORTUNATES recently no longer holds it's lethal sway! That is right, a CURE for this horrific and BEREAVING condition has been FOUND! ANY who have not been treated by the High Priestess Daisy are urged to make HASTE to the Civics District before their condition worsens!

    As for the cure itself, it was no LUCK or CIRCUMSTANCE which brought it to our aid! No, it was through the VALIANT actions of our City's longtime friend, the INFAMOUS Adam Bromley and our own SELFLESS Priestess Daisy that we are no longer suffering under the weight of this disease! It was their TIRELESS efforts that we have this cure, indeed they risked LIFE AND LIMB in order to aquire the RARE components for the cure!

    The City of Peltarch, Jewel of the Icelace extends it's ETERNAL gratitude to this pair and while they have been rewarded for their efforts, we remind them that we will NEVER be able to adequately repay their HEROIC Act. Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The GALLANT and HEROIC Captain Anakore of the Knights of the Cerulean Star has, in light of recent events, deemed himself UNABLE to effectively lead his mystical battallion of the Peltarch Military for the time being!

    The Captain is expected to make a FINAL statement as to his position in a few tendays time, pending the result of the upcoming TRIAL of those implicated in the Drugs Crisis!

    Until such time as Sir Anakore reveals his intentions, ALL handling of affairs of the Knights of The Cerulean Star will be done by Acting Captain Eowiel Senella. Aside from the usual DUTY of the Knights, this INCLUDES Senatorial Candidates persuing guild backing! Lady Senella has stated that under NO circumstances are people with business pertaining to the Knights to bother Sir Anakore with their business, they should show their RESPECT for his great service to the city by respecting his wishes. Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The major drugs crisis in the Docks District has come to an ABBRUPT END! No more shall people suffer at the behest of this DEPLORABLE and VILE drug! No more shall our streets be filled with CHAOS and DANGER! Peltarch shall once more be a city where people are SAFE!

    We should all be THANKFUL that this crisis was AVERTED! Many may think it was halted TOO LATE, but they are MISTAKEN! Simply think back to the last elections when our city was brought to its KNEES by the dreaded plague of then! While this tragedy was indeed GREAT, we can all be GLADDENED that our city has NOT made the same mistakes TWICE!

    The one or ones responsible for the plague will be determined through the FULL USE OF THE LAW! ANY who attempt to take the LAW into their own hands, through personal actions or through a mob, will be dealt with according to the letter of the law! Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • **Hear Ye, Hear Ye! One of our city's GREATEST and most RESPECABLE gentlemen has returned after a long absence! Indeed, MANY of us have felt the lack of his ever WISE council and skill in the Arcane!

    It can be none other than Advisor Keram Nathiems we refer to! The city can once more rely on his trustworthy advice and UNPARALLELED voice of utter reason! Indeed, there could be no better time for his return than NOW, when our city is beginning another set of elections! Doubtless many will seek out Sir Keram's guidance in the comming months, indeed Elder Senator Gelon will certainally be grateful at his Advisor's IMPECCABLE timing!

    Thusly, the city of Peltarch is GLADDENED and RELIEVED to have one of it's FINEST citizens within our walls once more. Hear Ye, Hear Ye!**



  • Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The Docks district should be avoided by ALL citizens who wish to remain safe and aloof from the DISGRACEFUL chaos and debauchery that exists within as a result of the trafficking of the now widely known illegal drug! The entire district is overrun with CRIME with the only occasional lulls as Captain Koreth's men are called in to QUELL the uproar from time to time! Any living in the Civic and Commerce Districts are advised to venture into the Docks with EXTREME caution and ONLY when absolutely nessescary! Once again citizens are reminded that any with information on this DEPLORABLE supply of illegal and deadly substances should contact a city official AT ONCE, as well as recieve the 10,000 coin reward for this information from Captain Koreth! Hear Ye!



  • The Criers are dressed in black mourning livery today as they call out a somber announcement to the streets of the city.

    Hear Ye, Hear Ye, it is with heavy hearts the Office of Town Crier brings to you these tragic tidings. Recent military activities and investigations by the Defenders have shown that one of Peltarch's bravest, truest and most STALWART heroes has fallen. A loyal guardswoman serving under Captain Dunderstone, a gallant Knight serving under Captain Anakore, Emma Lavindo has been killed in action. She was a friend to many, a sister in arms to some, a role model for others still. Long may time run on, but she will be EVER remembered in this city, for this was her home and she served the Jewel of the Icelace with UTMOST faith right up until the end. She will be rightfully awarded the Medal of Courage for bravery and valour which she exuded in her service. She will be missed by many. Hear Ye, Hear Ye…
