Sholazar Massacre


Tragedy took the lives of many, days ago in Sholazar when the Novalight Noble house through a banquet in memorial for the victims of the scourge. The day was better than expected says a Phoenix Knight guard. "Yes, everything was going smoothly, I even danced a little. After the cloaked ones appeared it was a massacre." Apparently during the festivities an estimated fifty cloaked elves stormed the party slaughtering guards and other patrons, the death count stopped at one hundred and forty seven. The Novalight family, personally sends their condolences to all of those lost in the attack. Zariel even went on further to help assist with burial and clean up. Our hearts go out to the families and those effected.

Editor's note: Typically we do not do this sort of thing..But given the nature of the case and the intended receiver, we feel that this may be the only way to get in contact with the traveling Detective.

You are such a hard man to find a proper address for, Detective. I have been searching
off and on for the past few weeks for a proper one, possibly so we can have a real meeting, maybe
understand each other. My situation. Your situation...How our situations just seem to become one,
relying on each other. Amazing how things like that can occur.

My, my...Where are my manners. I should properly introduce myself. Ammasrian is the name I am called
or that wretched, disgusting, perverse man. I feel I am none of those. If taking care of my family makes me
vile and repulsive...Am I really that terrible? I do not think so..I hope you understand that I am taking care,
even after being attacked. Carefully, monitoring your beloved's health...She is quite extraordinary.

Do you understand what I am saying, Detective Sterling? That I do not rape or mutilate my slaves. I do not
endanger their health because of my own wants or desires...To capture criminals and bring justice like you.
They simply stay in my possession while I wait for the proper buyer. Maybe you can be that buyer if your
earnings can handle their price. Believe me, though, I do enjoy their company...Quiet, beautiful
creatures...You were so very lucky you had them in your grasps for so long. I am surprised another didn't
take them away from your earlier. . . But those chats are for another time. Maybe in person. Face to face.

I should warn you though, your petty warrants mean little to me. Oh, yes, I know about those.

Very admirable for trying to do it the just way. Just way. Justice. All very silly to me.

Either way. Have a splendid day. Enjoy your week, because I sure am enjoying mine...

-Ammasrian

PS. Their skin is so soft to the touch. Do you miss it?

Island Left Mysteriously Vacant!

An island off the coast of Tanaris, once the home of an odd human engineer, has been ransacked. Signs of explosions with a fel taint, and a few bits of discarded parts are all that remain. The communications tower has also been destroyed.

For years, this island was avoided, sailors reporting odd golden lights in the night, explosions like fireworks set off above it. Rumor has it, the island was once home to a bit of a vigilante. Perhaps old enemies caught up with them?

Reliable sources say they owed no one money.

Nizzle Fizzle's 'It's snowing somewhere... Mostly here.'

Great news! Everlook under siege!

Hi there everyone reading this edition of 'It's snowing somewhere... Mostly here.'! I bring you the newest news and newest weather reports from around the Winterspring area as best I can!

Weather Report:

Forcasted Weather for the Week: Snow and Occasional Blizzards
Forcasted Weather for NEXT Week: More Snow, more occasional blizzards

Newest News:

Guess what the newest news of the month is, everybody! Anyone ever heard of Darkwhisper Gorge? Yah, that one demon-infested canyon in southern Winterspring! A squadron of demonic soldiers and engineers have recently moved North towards Everlook! After a quick dispatch, the authorities at Everlook were able to quell the disturbance before the squadron could finish their project on a nearby ridge; A Fel Cannon. It seems these Demons want to have some beef with the 'Relatively Peaceful' Everlookers. While the Squadron and Cannon were disposed of, news is coming from the South, as well as scouts are reporting... Those demons apparently heard that roar that the big guy did before he was sent off the side of a cliff to be impaled into a tree! They are amassing for something, and the Everlookers and their authorities really don't like it. I'd say they're f***ed. From what I heard, the Mayor of Everlook is offering money and cash to any adventurers or heroes who will aid in this possible war against the Demons in the South, whether you do scouting or you fight the ba****ds yourself!

This has been Nizzle Fizzle on 'It's snowing somewhere... Mostly here.', everyone have a nice day, and let's hope I survive the encroaching war to write the next edition, with the latest news on the War!

HORDE IN THE FOREST!
Stormwind Tribune


Scandal erupted today in the sleepy town of Goldshire as reports of a large male tauren attempting to enter the inn swept up to Stormwind City. The local Marshal bravely turned away the tauren and a rather brash-talking gnome woman before the situation could get out of hand, but that was apparently not enough for the bloodthirsty hordeman!

Fortunately our knights got to the beast before he could spread much damage. Reports say that he purposefully rammed into the traveling batallion, and that the gnome -- now identified as one Caralee 'Caravan' Fairwinds -- pulled her rifle on the knight and his men. After a few close calls, the gnome was eventually chained and dragged to the Stockades. The offending tauren was restrained and subsequently "dealt with" by the commanding knight-officer. His body is said to have been taken to the sea.

Ms. Fairwinds has had her trial waived upon the reports from one of the attending guards that, though her crime of not only siding with the tauren but also threatening Stormwind's finest are not to be taken lightly, she did not actually attack any one. She is being held for one week on the condition that another act of treason will not be forgiven.

Editor's note: Detective Hart has been unreachable again. We, The staff of the Daily Sun, hopes this reaches you soon.

Oh, Detective. Your lack of attention is worrying me a bit. Has your head been removed by someone already? Not surprised. Word of your attitude is quite known by my kind of people. That is what you say right? Miscreants, monsters, the ones who lurk in the night to harm?

How very sad it is... I thought we could have been such good friends, too. But your reckless bomb-threat towards the ones I hold dear was quite the same malicious acts you accuse me of. It appears we are one in the same.

One in the same. How funny.

Except that I would not allow for someone I hold dear to become an empty shell of what she once was. Can you hear her crying? What sad tears she weeps. Abandoned. Alone. Do you feel them?

But do not worry, dear Detective. She has found a hero in someone else. It is amazing how things can be easily turned when people stop caring.

Hope to see you and your friends soon. Maybe for another dinner.

-Ammasrian

Her hair smells lovely. Lavender? Tiger-lilies? Roses? Such a wonderful fragrance.

URGENT NOTICE TO THE CITIZENS OF THE ALLIANCE!

Your noblemen bring you, with heavy hearts, the news that a village in the vicinity of Hillsbrad Fields has been razed, with survivors not even breaking the double-digits. The attack has been attributed to an upstart cabal whom reportedly refer to themselves as "The Purge", and acted upon their name accordingly. All homes, supplies, livestock, and crops have either been looted or destroyed, and the men of Southshore have been ordered to increase their patrols amongst the entirety of Hillsbrad.

Consisting largely of the undead, the Ebon Blade has reportedly denied allegationg that the group is tied to them, and that one of their delegates even attempted to halt the massacre, to no avail. The Forsaken delegates have made no comments thus far.

We must also bring you the sad news that the beloved inquisitor Cassius Palenix was fell by the Death Knights of the Purge and their associates, but he shall live on as a martyr to his personal followers and to all those whom praise the Light! Justice will be dealt to those whom the blood of the people of Hillsbrad was shed by!

~Ratchet Branch~

We have just received word from representatives of The Ebon Blade that three of their own have left their order and set up a hideout somewhere in the outskirts of The Barrens. They are possibly responsible for the missing women in the area, and a few murders believed to be done by Sharptalons or centaur. We must protect our city and at most our investments, these knights will not have their way. We will be canvasing for brave souls who wish to put these people down. Compensation will be provided. Light users preferred as well as magi, although we will not turn anyone down. Speak to Innkeeper Willy for further instructions.*

Strange Sightings


On the fifteenth day on the eleventh month, Gracie Melborne approached a Night watchmen covered in blood. She said saw her husband in the fog, her husband had been dead for some time and wasn't ressurected by any priest or church. They didn't believe in it, she also said he seemed just as she remembered without any signs of decomposition, which ruled out necromancy. Gracie is an Alumni from the Aula Arcanum and tells our writers that she is most certain an illusion wasn't being played. That in some way a physical manfestation of her husband was there. They (According to Ms. Melborne) even had an intimate conversation of things only her husband would know. It wasn't until she said he began acting 'strange' and attacked her that things turned sour. She said he was moments away from ending her life in the Forest of Duskwood but he seemed to break down, and explode before her. She ran for help but no one believes her. She sought us for an explanation. Her Neighbors have this to say.

"I love Gracie, I really do. But after her husband died, she's just went off the deep end. I just hope she didn't see someone who looked like her husband and attack them in a moment of, well you know...." Says Franklin Gearsnap a local engineer. We are looking into the issue but have found no leads.


Silvermoon Tribune

It appears our arcane guardians got a work out on a few individuals attempting to attack some maidens in the Bazaar. "It...It was straight out of a play..." Says Thaelveryn Silversong age five-hundred and sixty seven. "Three figures just ported into the bazaar and slashed a few of those magisters as they were talking by that fountain over there. One got away because he was pretty fast but the other two, were vaporized before they could respond. Then the Blood Knights came." Apparently nothing was taken, and only a light slash was made on one of our fine magistrates. The assailants were said to have smooth wooden masks, and dark cloaks. More on this as it develops, Remember the Sunwell.

Silverpine Research Trouble

Long ago a zeppelin crashed over the rugged terrain on an deserted archipelago the survivors were said to have faced bizarre sightings there. Since the incident Magi from our fine city went to investigate and decipher the mystery of what really happened so many months ago. There were runic designs and dried blood in some of the buildings that rested on the lands of the assorted islands. The research and investigation had been going on in secret until now, several of the magi had went missing and a few have turned up dead. Officials believe someone else had been tampering with evidence, and kidnapping researchers and their data collected. Due to the nature of the experiment held here they didn't elaborate on what it was about. It is assumed that this is quite dangerous, Dalaran officials ask to question any members who were apart of the Zeppelin crash in Silverpine. All information is appreciated.

Slaver, Marshall 'Ammasrian' Bell, was taken into custody last night after being anonymously given over to guards. The man, described as being delusional and on hallucinogens, was booked into the Silvermoon City Stocks. Guards released no further information.

The tabloids and police blotters are abuzz with news today in a shocking combination of events!

- VILLAIN FALLS! As soon as news of slaver Ammasrian Bell's jail break was reported, news of his DEATH followed! Apparently, he was killed during a raid of his island led by Detective Sterling Hart, acting under a warrant for the slaver's capture, with approval of both the Warchief and Silvermoon's regent. No news on the cause of death, location of the island, or status of his slaves, as all operations were conducted by an elite team with no connection to Silvermoon or Horde factions. (The Sun is paying for all leads to follow-ups of this story!)

- NOBLE RETURNS! Heir to the Dawnblood aristocracy, Ophice Dawnblood, has been reported alive and well! She had not been killed, as previously reported, but was a victim of the nefarious slaving ring, which has now collapsed. The Dawnblood family has released a statement saying they are glad for her safe return, but wish to see her in person. However...

- DISAPPEARANCES! - After filing an official report on slaver Ammasrian's death and the breakup of his slaving empire, Detective Sterling Hart was found to have vacated Silvermoon, his apartments empty. Though her presence was confirmed by reporters, Ophice Dawnblood also seems to have left the city, perhaps with the detective, based on previous rumors of an unconfirmed romance. Also missing are reports of the mysterious, long-haired demon hunter wandering Silvermoon streets recently, unsettling passers-by. Gossip presumes the events related.

If the famous Detective truly has left the city, we wish him well, and shall miss his services and stories. Silvermoon will always have a place for him!

The Sun extends its condolences to the families of the slaves, and its deepest care for the rescued, especially the Lady Ophice, long a favorite of the gossip columns here.

Updates as stories develop!

STORMWIND TRIBUNE


A man by the name of Dr. Geraldino Galleani, 42, is going about laying traps for possible kidnapping.

On the 10th of the twelfth month, Murin Thunderbeard, Dwarf, and Vadim and Olaviusana, both Draenei, were gathering at the gates of Stormwind City when an unruly mare nearly ran them over. Dr. Galleani approached them, saying the horse was bought but too wild to ride. He convinced the men to place him on the horse only for her to dash off, leading to a chase. It turns out, it was all a trap-- the Doctor lead the men to a pit trap, where they fell. A fight ensued via spells the men had in hand, and they were able to escape. Dr. Galleani, however, escaped as well.

[Enclosed is a photograph of Dr. Galleani]

The man is 6'2", described to be very underweight. He is also described to be blond, have a lazy eye, and with craters all over his face. He is on a cane and unable to walk or stand without assistance. He was last seen armed with a rifle.

Stormwind Guard cautions the city of Stormwind, and surrounding areas, to keep watch of this man. If you know anything about him, report to the Stormwind Guard immediately.

The Dawn of Dawnstar


Officials reported earlier this week that the town Dawnstar located on the island Quel'Danas has finally been open to the public. This was the island where the demise of our late prince Kael'thalas took place some years ago as well as the resting place of the Sunwell. Officials and the Shattered Sun have been dilegently cleaning up the area and ensuring it safe once again for public use. That day came to the denizens of Silvermoon as a wonderful surprise days prior to this publication. The town already has residents moving in, such as Lord Leron Silverfang from the House of Silverfang. It is to be mentioned that the Shattered Sun will remain there to maintain the a strong hold on the defense of the area due to our population. With that said this means our island is open to the alliance. That's right, Quel'Danas near our docking area houses neutral territory. Some are outraged and others understand and support the Shattered Sun. Finally our people are making progress in restoring our great nation. Remember the Sunwell.


New In the Ruins

Also new in Silvermoon is the Four Suns Inn founded by the Four Nova leaders of the Novalight Family. The house has refurnished one of the inns in the Ruins of our great city and turned it into a classy Inn filled with fine wine and authentic food. They even go so far as to promote all the employees had recently lost everything to the attacks that have plagued our city over the years. This appears to be a big step in the right direction for our nation and the House of Novalight. The family has been featured for unfavorable things but have calmed down as of late and have resurfaced with positivity. There apparently is something going on new with their leadership. We support and look forward from more positive things coming from the Novalight House. Death To All who Oppose us.

Authorities need help in a missing persons case. A neighbor to a 'Reigen Dawnsend' noticed something odd when not only were the cats not around, but Mrs. Dawnsend was nowhere to be seen and not doing any of her normal activities. The neighbor, who wishes to remain anonymous, reported this to us after entering the home:

Anon: "It was like walking into some sort of...demons nest! On the floor were all the cats beheaded and what looked to be a small struggle with a stack of toppled books. There was so much blood..."

TST: "Could you tell if any of it belonged to her?"

Anon: "I...there was a big stain on the bed...b-but..."

At this point in the interview the witness was taken away, too squeamish to finish it up.

No reports of anyone entering or leaving the home have been provided, making us feel it may have been the work of another mage. The house has already been cleaned up and the cat bodies removed as all evidence has been collected.

Authorities describe the missing woman as short, pale, no doubt covered in cat hair with grey-black hair. Her left eye is apparently blind and her left side in general is scarred up, it's also been reported that she had many piercings in her ears. She's pregnant and practices in ice magic. If you have any information about her or her assailant please contact someone at once!

[[Note: This is an explanation to the character being gone as well as something else that will be found later. <3 CoTH. Not doing this for any others cuz...never played 'em!]]

"The Purge" Purged?

News is spreading fast among local citizens-particularly among the Light-devout-about the four-on-one fight between locals and a Death Knight, whom is assumed to be the leader of the group known as "The Purge"-the same group that reportedly razed a village in Hillsbrad some time ago. The aforementioned Light-devoted are celebrating in a sense, seeing it as "The removal of a great blight upon this land", as one put it. Third-party claims state that it was the Death Knight's own daughter whom delivered the final blow, taking only the skull with her-for burial or as a trophy, we are unsure. She was last seen taking a boat to Kalimdor.

On a related note, the other remains-including the Saronite armor and a Rune Blade-have mysteriously vanished from the arena, the supposed work of the Death Knights cohorts some locals accuse. No one has found any corroborating evidence at the time of this writing.

Being an experimental project as of the moment, there's only one page!

...and not as much to write about as I would like to anyway! So...yeah! As for anyone who is curious, the idea for a newspaper entitled The Hourglass first came into fruition in another server, but it decided to go down on me a few weeks after, so there was only ever one publication. The avatar was actually created for it. :3

The Editorial Team is pretty much made-up. Anybody who is interested in such an idea, do contact through PMs or 'Craer' in-game. Thank you.
