As I find myself laying on the most cushioned bed surrounded by those I am drawn to care, I have taken quill and ink to write about this past few months.
This have been troubling times for the people that dwell on the depths. What started as a mere trickle of water, pouring drop by drop like sweetened elven tears, suddenly burst into a flood that collapsed our most beloved home. Amidst a tempest of rocks and the screams of those that where trampled below, many sacrificed their health to drag their brethren out of such storm. Our White Hound, gifted her life away to bring forth a path for those that in any other way would surely have been squashed. Most noble deed she would dearly pay, dragged back into the pits of Hell to be tormented by her masters for an endless lapse. But shed no tears, if not of joy, for it was by blood and strife that her fate was reverted, trading a soul for life to bring our hound back. Alas, that is a tale for another night. The caves seemed lost, our nation expelled from safe harbour towards the blazing light, forced to aimlessly roam the surface under an unforgiving sun. To all of those that laugh at our fall, know that we are a blessed children of the Dark and mother Night will never let us out of sight. This was but a hiccup, a miserable one, and those that smiled at our demise will surely pay in full price. For the Cabbala stands once again, more wicked than before, firmly embedded in the depths of Sincadere as a poisoned thorn that you, light dwellers, will never get rid of. What better proof of it than the celebration of the first Court in the brand new halls of the keep. Where the Silver Terror, fluffiest tail of all, Archon of the Cabbala addressed her citizens imbuing them with new purpose and life. It was a night or rebirth, where the Frozen Forge Smith rose to the ranks of Conclave. Where the Dark Law Sentries made their presence felt as a bothersome tumour attached to your gullet. Where the Black Dragon of the Dark Merchants offered bounty for fair trade and precious information. It was a time to bask under the shadows of our new stronghold, to recall what has been lost and to set aims to a darker more vicious future. To those that expect me naming names, sadly you will be thoroughly disappointed, for I am not known to break the tenets of my Dark home. Be content with knowing the facts that transpired on that joyous eve. The Silver Terror showed magnanimous gratitude to the Red Wyrm for nesting the survivors of the collapse under his blazing ruby wings. Not an easy feat as whispers of his complaints came to my ears. Who can blame him, as Cabbalans are in fact an acquired taste, some may have been all too spicy for old dear "Grandpa" Wyrm. But our dear Archon was not done, not by far, she stood tall as her tiny self could next to her throne, and taller she did looked from the view of those gathered bellow. Eight names where called forth, one by one brought forward under her gaze. Four where given medals and honours for their acts during the fall, some for bravery and courage, others for duty and hard work. And the four named last where gifted a most devious prize; for recovering what was thought to be forever lost, fighting the hells to bring The White Hound back to our fold, each one received an engraved musket decorated with the faun's silver horns. The lesson to be learned... Nothing goes unnoticed by the Cabbala ever watchful eye. Be you a mighty dragon or a savage beast, devious demon or vicious soul-forge, human or not, your acts echo across the blackest dark. To whoever reads this account, allow me a word of caution. From this night on... you better sleep with one eye open. We are back, from the depths with razor sharp claws. - R. Hangfire Welcome to today's Bounty Broadsheet. Here's how this works.

((Above picture drawn by Kyosumari)) The Queen's mother, Aigie, made an appearance. Aigie is best known for her role as Headmistress of the Cabbala College of Obscure Arts. She's pictured above with Helheim's Queen Laya, the image captured by something called 'science'. For the most part the event went smoothly, with well over 70 in attendance at peak time, however several people reported they were light coin and suggested some pick pockets might have been operating throughout the day. A fight broke out by the Yisu and Mick booth between the not-so-happily-married couple which resulted in the Nekoyami moving her goods to another booth.
Watch for updates on the next carnival! The past few weeks have been especially trying inside the empire. It started with reports of missing nekoyami. Then rumors of odd spiders began to circulate until these spiders seemed to have gotten sloppy with their attacks ending in leaving a trail of nekoyami witnesses to follow which divulged of so much drama… sneaking off couples.. adultery.. drug abuse and even… parental neglect!? A nekoyami named Kewt turned up missing and after an investigation a witness confirmed a strange spider’s involvement. A few days passed while rumors continued to spread and a house outside of the empire’s walls was discovered to be harboring a great number of these spiders. Follow the trails from the spiders a group of investigators was led into a crack where the old hellscape portal once stood and found themselves traversing it once again. Guided by a lost nekoyami soul going by the name Bue the Boo who was apparently to serve Buu, the prime minister of Helhiem, they ended up facing off against the bloodspeaker and unfortunately were unable to retrieve Kewt. Blueprints for some kind of super weapon and it’s creation was found however this super weapon was no where to be seen. The following events ended up in a partial evacuation of the nekoyami as the empire prepared for an attack which did come several days later. The weapon burrowed to the top of the mountain and threatened to destroy much of the empire but through the combined efforts of the empires people the threat was seen destroyed. Unfortunately the Shogun Gin Hinshoku was seen killed in the line of duty a loss many in the empire still morn. I’m told her name meant to be tarnished however accounts from the fight confirm her name was more than ill fitted in the end. For those who rose and fought for our empire, my heart goes out to you, you are our strength and the fires the burn in your hearts against the encroaching darkness of the world outside our walls is why this empire will certainly stand tall far after any of our lives have flickered out.
