The Commoner's Whisper
The Commoner's Whisper #8
The Commoner's Whisper - A publication of common chattering among the plebian masses summarized for the sophisticated soul. Credited with preventing 117 rebellion attempts since 1698. Remember we cannot verify if it is true, we merely report what is whispered. ______________________________________________________________ House Shadowby
Staff is whispering about a 'purge' and fear of being executed. It would seem many servants to house Shadowby are afraid of a secret inquisition that is actively occurring. The prince will be married this year in the upcoming festivities. ______________________________________________________________ House Brewwick House Brewwick is entering into official negotiation to secure a product or services from the newest noble house Sterling. The Brewwick manor alchemists are working on a magical potion that will make it easier to clean linens. _______________________________________________________________ House Stormont House Stormont is seeking to expand its farming system and will have a lottery to allow current farmer's children an opportunity to join in the enterprise as they seek to expand to the Northeast. _________________________________________________________________ House Ashton Lady Annallee Ashton doesn't believe in the goddesses and seeks to sexually conquer as many individuals as she can before her family forces her into a marriage ceremony and bonding. __________________________________________________________________ House Frost Lord Frost stormed off after reading a C.M. Carver tabloid and returned an hour later with a sardonic grin. The next day a purported agent of the Lord was found entombed in ice along with a popular tavern wench in a bed at the Leaky Glacier tavern. Royal guards have ruled the death an accident of exposure and suspect no foul play. ________________________________________________________________ House Boulderton Lady Concretia Boulderton has threatened to resculpt Lord Mica's statuesque form if she catches him alone with any single male servant or group of female servants. She also forbid him from touching anyone but her except for what social decorum requires. Staff feels uncomfortable reporting any foul play as it could incur Lord Micah's ire. One servant said the best you could do was just be terrible at sex and Mica would stop the advances on his own. When asked for clarification on how to be bad at sex the servant giggled and said "You know, bite down somewhere then his wife will catch him and you can blame it on "passion". He thinks the goddesses made him a gift to anyone he sleeps with, reinforcing that idea helps to placate him. _____________________________________________________________________ House Vaneforge Servants of house Vaneforge talk of bonuses offered for peculiar acts involving measurements of different body parts. "It's not what I expected the first time it happened, they offered me ten gold to be alone with m'lord for twenty minutes. I assumed wrong as I was unbuttoning my blouse he says "Oh no, dear goddesses no. I merely wish to measure your elbow with this device." I tolds him for ten gold he could measure anything he wanted." _____________________________________________________________________ House Vaultsky We regret to inform the reader that our last agent was discovered and had nothing to report. We will dispatch a new agent to listen carefully to what the commoner whispers. _____________________________________________________________________ House Blumett Rumors abound of upcoming nuptuals between a member of house Blumett and house Sterling. Most of the staff seem excited at the prospect of Lady Ruby settling down to a life with Lord Dominic. There is a general sense of jubilation at getting Lady Ruby's impulses under control. "She just needs a nice strong man in her life to lead her properly." _____________________________________________________________________ House Sterling Rumors abound of a haunting at properties involving Lord Dominic Sterling and Lady Elinor Sterling. Many incidents have occured with reports of a strange flatfooted ghost pulling linens off of lines, dumping water on clothes and general mischief. Other incidents report a sweet guardian duckling that brings a scent of flowers to anything it touches. Reports of the duck assisting in providing creature comforts from beyond to assist the staff in caring for linens. Maids will often argue over which the ghost represents and have come to a consencus that the entity hates Lord Dominic and is infatuated with Lady Elinor.
