~Wayfarers to Build Ship~

Wayfarers Brotherhood leader, Morden Rasp, has claimed the northwestern edge of Antonica as his shipyard.

He has named the area, Nedaria’s Landing, after one of his leaders and close friends, reports say.

Sources say that the area is still being surveyed and that Rasp does have plans to hire the best and brightest shipwrights in Norrath. Get your resumes ready.

There is plenty of employment and work required for this ship which Rasp has called, “the biggest ship the world has ever seen.”

~Featherhead Whigs Out~

Sanfyrd Featherhead was apprehended last week for public mischief.

Featherhead had dumped a large, and still unknown quantity, of hair tonic in the water system of Ak’Anon. He was found in the scrapyard area swimming and crying hysterically by a patrolling clockwork guard.

An official complaint about the incident was registered by Silox Azrix who complained that the ruckus interrupted his meditation.

“He was swimming and splashing like a maniac, claiming he had no friends and if he had hair he would become more popular,” Azrix said. “I don’t like him now and I’m certain I wouldn’t like him if he had hair.”

Featherhead was released from custody and is required to seek counseling.

~Wayfarers Find Grozmok Stone~

The Wayfarers Brotherhood has located the Grozmok Stone.

Calliav Giniuar, a magician becoming known for his strange visions, is now studying the stone.

“Our friend, Calliav, is researching the Grozmok Stone and believes it has some kind of magic that may impact our next journey,” said Morden Rasp, Wayfarers Brotherhood leader.

The ship that the Wayfarers Brotherhood is building in Nedaria’s Landing is well underway as well.

“We’re always looking for enterprising young Norrathians to help us out here,” Rasp said.

~Grumblegrowl Suffers Burns~

Drigaz Grumblegrowl was singed in an unfortunate incident recently.

“I was drinking some gnomish spirits, as I usually do, and a defective clockwork walked by,” Grumblegrowl recounts. “The clockwork suddenly gave off a shower of sparks and one landed in my mug. Kaboom!”

Fortunately, only Grumblegrowl’s fur was singed and he suffered no permanent injury.

“My parents were hearty kobolds with a lot of fur,” Grumblegrowl laughed. “I should have it all back soon. The worse part was the smell, really.”

Grumblegrowl remains in good “spirits.”

~Wayfarers Discover Taelosia~

The Wayfarers Brotherhood took the great ship, the Queen of Thorns, across the Abysmal Sea and found a continent surrounded by turbulent storms. Using the strange new stones, the ship now rests protected off the shores.

Magus Wenla in Nedaria’s Landing said he had been in touch with a scout who was sent back to Antonica to prepare others to sail to the new continent.

“The scout said it was a terrible journey, but they followed the Grozmok Stone the whole way — it did as Calliav thought,” Wenla said. “It was a compass that led them into a safe harbor on the west side of the continent.”

Wenla added that, for the first journey, adventure seekers will need to take a boat that will travel between Nedaria’s Landing and the Abysmal Sea until the appropriate Farstone magic is created for teleportation.

Wenla also said the scout had mentioned terrible creatures in that new part of the world. Only the most sturdy and skilled should dare to venture to the continent.

~King Akanon Unites All~

SPECIAL REPORT

Upon news of the gods in the pantheon turning from their children, King Akanon immediately ordered that the gnome community come together to pray and pay homage so that we may gain our own favor and power just in case the gods give up on us completely. And it’s working.

Since last week, all manner of citizen has been donating and praying to build a vast amount of energy that could power an endless amount of clockworks.

However, with the ample supply, Tamno Shifa has been designated the Tribute Master who will allow you to share in the favor we’ve all created in exchange for donations.

~Death Defying Mission~

An anonymous source has revealed that Wayfarers Brotherhood leaders Morden Rasp and Tondal Di’Xevar are on a mission to reach the highest temples of Taelosia.

“All me know is dat dey gots on da little boat and sailed off to da Natimbi place. Me heard Calliav Giniuar talk to Morden Rasp about finding some shiny ting and bringing it back to da ship, see,” the anonymous source said.

Nedaria Debeian, left to run the Queen of Thorns, did not have too much to say on the subject. She had reportedly been ill lately, but would not confirm or deny that information.

“Yes, they have indeed gone to Taelosia with a purpose, but I will not tell you what it is,” Nedaria said.

Calliav Giniuar would not comment.

~Clockworks Tick~

According to Silinuss Bobbleiadero, vice president of the Ak’Anon Board of Tourism, the large amount of defective clockworks roaming the city have hurt tourism and have even made it unsafe for citizens.

“It just doesn’t look good when we have all these rusting clockworks wobbling around the city. They need to be cleaned up. We have seen a drastic decrease in revenue generated by tourism,” said Bobbleiadero.

When reached for comment, Exterminator VIII had this to say, “*Whirr whirr*

Mission Terminate Vermin failed. Initiating self-destruct sequence in four, three, two. . .”

When asked about the recent Minotaur attacks on travelers to Ak’Anon, Bobbleiadero had no comment.

~Brotherhood Leader Ill~

Rumors about the failing health of one of the Wayfarers Brotherhood leaders, Nedaria Debeian, have drifted from the Abysmal Sea to the rest of Norrath.

Those who claim to have seen Nedaria in recent days suggest that she is near death.

Nedaria’s aides, Wuria Pyskar and Parillin Shurava, claim the Erudite simply has a temporary viral illness.

“She is just fine and will be back on her feet very soon,” Wuria said. “We sit with her all day and tend to her needs as she gets over this sickness.”

Others claim to have seen several shamans and clerics entering Nedaria’s chambers and exiting with no answer or cure for the frail female.

~Recent Windmill Stoppings Not Funny~

Recently, some pranksters have been stopping the windmills in Steamfont. The problem has become so severe, that chief engineer for the windmills, Forpar Fizfla, has issued a warning.

“We are watching you! Just last night we saw a group of levitating trouble-makers stopping the windmills and I gave them a piece of my mind, I did! This behavior will not be tolerated! It is not funny!” he said.
