“Evil” Candidate Holds Rally in Cathedral Square

By Risri Elthron and Jibblet Quillfeather

The man who calls himself The Great Nyehehe, self-proclaimed evil-doer, and strange enigma has announced his candidacy for the House of Nobles Council. His evilness, as he likes to be called, started the rally with a small group of curious onlookers gathered. The crowd grew in size as the rally picked up steam, however, we are uncertain if they were actual supporters or just fascinated by the way the man in purple ranted.

His opening statement was bold with words about his ideas to bring, “rampant villainy, a strict ban on the concept of love and all non-Nyehehe worshiping religions, and replacing all known police forces with the Great Nyehehe’s rats!! And to top it all off, the Great Nyehehe rules it all!! What an incredibly evil world to live in!! Wouldn't it be an honor for you mortals?”

He went on to allow questions from the audience, in a strange combination of politeness and rudeness that would be hard to duplicate in print. However, our own Jibblet Quillfeather braved the Great Nyehehe’s “evil” lair and got an exclusive interview with the candidate.

Keep reading for Jibblet’s exclusive with his evilness:

With the recent campaigners for the House of Nobles Council, one unlikely person has decided to run. I was able to get an interview with this most evil of candidates, and, luckily, walked away physically unscathed.

You may have seen him scowling throughout the streets of Stormwind, or twirling his mustache from the dark recesses of an alley. The Great Nyehehe. When asked which position he was going to campaign for, The Great Nyehehe had this to say:

“Why, the High Throne of Everything, of course!! The Great Nyehehe will rule the Universe with an iron first!! All mortals must comply to his devious demands, lest they desire a ferrety fate!! So says The Great Nyehehe!!”

With such aspirations mentioned, curiosity struck on what may be The Great Nyehehe’s plan on campaigning and earning votes:

“If The Great Nyehehe demands votes from the mortals, he'll receive them!! They all fear his dark magicks and vile powers!! The Great Nyehehe will obviously win this campaign, quite easily and quite evilly!!”

Of course, with every position comes responsibilities. When asked why The Great Nyehehe thought his prime responsibilities would be, he had this to say:

“Keeping those sniveling mortal fools in line!! Conquering the Universe!! Sitting on recently-painted park Benches!! There are too many to count!! Without The Great Nyehehe, who would be the most evil being in the Universe?”

Of course, with responsibilities in order, we can’t forget what The Great Nyehehe would be able to offer to the Council as well:

“The Great Nyehehe would be a ruthless ruler of Stormwind, obliterating any who gets in his way!! And what other member may even imply they were more evil than The Great Nyehehe? Plus, The Great Nyehehe's moustache is so incredibly glorious!! That's worth more than just experience!!”

Not only would The Great Nyehehe offer his mustache, but he also knows exactly how he would aid the council in protecting Stormwind:

“Well, first off, they would receive the honor of being ruled over by The Great Nyehehe!! Plus, though he loathes it… He would make sure no other allegedly "evil" forces try to take his conquered lands from him!! So fret not of those horned half-wits or the like!!”

When moving to the subject of dealing with the Legion, The Great Nyehehe had his own thoughts:

“Well, The Great Nyehehe had no problem with the Legion initially, you see. They caused havoc and chaos and suffering, Nyes; but The Great Nyehehe didn't care. But then.. How dare those demonic dolts not invite The Great Nyehehe!?! hey have provoked The Great Nyehehe's wrath, and if elected, their days shall be numbered!! So says The Great Nyehehe!!”

Curious on if his first action on the Council would be against the Legion, The Great Nyehehe seemed to have greater things in mind:

“Probably declaring war on those accursed feline fools!! Oh!! How their mere presence boils The Great Nyehehe's black blood!! Oh, you mortals call them… “Cats”. Bah. T'is a foolish, mortal name. They've been picking off The Great Nyehehe's rats for weeks now... Accursed things…”

With such grand goals, it was clear that The Great Nyehehe would need help:

“Mortals are foolish, unintelligent things!! They can't do anything the correct way!! The Great Nyehehe does everything perfect all the time, why bother with minions? The Great Nyehehe would tell them to begone!! The Great Nyehehe has no need for allies when he's this evil and powerful, not to mention fashionable!! Nor does he need friends, or family, or any of that mortal foolishness!! Bah!!”

With such claims made by this candidate, The Great Nyehehe had one last comment:

“The Great Nyehehe will rule this universe, so don't even try to stop it!! So says the Great Nyehehe!!”

------------------

(OOC Note: The Great Nyehehe is NOT actually running for the Council of Ministry, so please do not vote for him, as any votes for him will be considered null and void. This is just a fun interview to assist him in his way of spreading word for something that may end up being quite enjoyable. Please vote for actual candidates currently campaigning in all five seats on the council!)

What is a best friend?

The office was quiet as Risri slipped inside the building, closing the door quickly from the chilly wind blowing through Stormwind’s streets. Her eyes crossed over the room noting the various states of the reporter’s desks.

Suzi’s and Jibblit’s a strange mix of messy and neat as the two gnomes seemed to balance their individual personalities upon the gnome sized desk. She really needed to get poor Suzi her own space. Savian’s space clean, a tidy stack of papers in the center with a note upon the top. Risri knew he had worked overnight to read through the articles for today’s editions. Achamias’s empty but for a ink pot and quill. One desk completely empty as if Baelila had not yet settled in, or perhaps she was that tidy. And Sky’s desk was piled high with books like a fortress to protect her.

Risri crossed to the desk, and checked quickly underneath with a sigh of relief that her best friend had not spent the night there. As she straightened, the thought had her pause, hand upon Sky’s chair. Best friend. She’d thought that without a qualm. Was Sky really her best friend? Memories skipped through the elf’s mind and her hand clenched upon the back of the chair.  Yes, the strange human had firmly planted herself within Risri’s life. Even if they did not speak every day, she took peace in knowing the other was a comm-link away.

A smile graced Risri’s face as she thought about the many hours spent working, talking, eating and drinking with the hat wearing reporter. They had been through so much together. Had it really only been two years? It seemed much longer in Risri’s mind.

The no nonsense way Sky approached things. The voice of reason when Risri could not see past something. The steady “I am here” whenever she was needed. Maybe if Latilda hadn’t gone down the path she had, things might be different. Risri shook her head, she knew that was not true. Sky was her best friend because she and Risri saw the real person behind the walls each put up for the public. They would kill or die to protect the other. It wasn’t needed to be said, it just was. The two of them could talk about anything without fear of judgement. They were each other’s safe place. Time and many hours just chatting had brought them to friendship. And Risri looked forward to many more years being amazed by her bright and talented best friend.

The thoughts propelled Risri back to her own desk to start the day’s work but every so often the elf would glance over and smile at the book fortress that was Sky’s desk.

The Royal Courier Reaches Milestone in Subscriptions

Dear readers,

You are the reason each of us gets up in the morning and heads into 3 Stockade Lane. We started in January of last year and since then, the reception by each of you has been phenomenal. Today we sold our 1500th subscription. This milestone is momentous for each of us that works currently or has worked for the paper in the past.

In addition to the milestone, we have other great news to share. The King’s Library has archived every copy of paper issued by the reporter’s name. So if you ever wish to find something written by a previous reporter or a current one, they will be able to assist you.

I know that Latilda, were she still among us, would be proud of what the paper has become and grateful for your support.

From all of us at The Royal Courier to all of you, Thank You for continuing to buy the paper and keep us going.

Risri Elthron

(I just wanted to take a moment to say wow!

We hit 1500 followers and just wanted to do a small IC article to celebrate that occasion.  And to help celebrate that I have gone through all of the archives of the paper and tagged each article by the name of the reporter. 

You can see the results here: http://the-royal-courier.tumblr.com/reporters . As I mentioned above this archive is available IC as well. (and from the site you can reach it by clicking the Reporter Archive link along the top of the page)

Thank you again for all your support and for following this little project.

And to each and everyone of you out there who wrote for us at some point, Thank you for your help!

Aventine Farms Sweetens the Season

By Savian Blackwood, Photography by Jibblit Quillfeather

The Falling Apple Faire took place this weekend, hosted by The Gold-Stone Concordance. Their choice of location made all the difference when it came to getting faire goers in the spirit of the harvest season. Aventine Farms opened its apple orchards in Westfall to attendees and vendors alike. Their bountiful crop was celebrated with candied apples, orchard tours, apple-pie moonshine, and entertaining (and very wet) rounds of apple bobbing.

Perhaps the most unique aspect of this gathering were the faces among the crowd. Horde and Alliance mingled peacefully for two nights, taking part in games, competitions, and performances. Even if there were any troublemakers among the crowd, they were likely thwarted by the extremely thorough security provided by Wrynn’s Wolves (A) and Eclipse Syndicate (H).

Both evenings were filled with such a variety of entertainment that it was difficult to see it all, but faire goers were eager to share their favorites.  

Many expressed their interest in getting a fortune told, which led to a consistent line for Madame Theodora(A) and Dancing Deer (H).

The Sisters in Sin booth quickly turned into a one-stop-shop for everything from alcohol to acupuncture. If that didn’t make patrons stop in their tracks, their array of jewelry for sale and their kissing booth certainly did.

A never ending variety of food and drink was supplied by multiple vendors from both factions. Candied apples were in high demand, which makes me hope that the Emergency Response Unit and the Outreach Clinic employ dentists.

Luckily no medical staff were needed for the lead entertainment: fire dancing. Shekinah Rosegaile enthralled the audience with her mastery of the craft and wrapped up the evening with a perfect finale.

Congratulations to the winners of the evenings’ contests:

Horde Duels:  Zahlen El’Zatari (Arrogate), Shudo, Nikklaus

Alliance Duels:  Emora Cuddletorque, Serena Goldnight, Mythios Autumnchill

Alliance vs. Horde Duel: Zahlen El’Zatari (H)

Pet Battles:  Aelin Ashryver

Raffles: Eve Daniels (A), Scarlet (Emille) (A), Daralean (H), Rocketcog (A), Lledwyn (H), Neona (A), Pigecko (H)

A special thanks to all those who made the faire possible and to The Gold-Stone Concordance and Aventine Farms for their hospitality.

Caroling: Sweet Pastime or Public Nuisance

By Jibblet Quillfeather

While enjoying the leftover sweets from the recent Winter Veils celebration, many people still had the songs of the seasons on their mind. Some are also clever enough to add their own twists to songs.

“We were simply heading home for the night when we could her someone belting out about smelly ogres and night elf ears” stated one bystander.

“I don’t even know what ‘geeks a ganking’ is! How can a Murloc even give someone that!” stated another.

“I take great offense to this lads song” noted one dwarf “I’m actually quite the singer, and I doubt ‘6 Dwarves a drowning’ would be a lovely gift for anyone!”

While creativity is something that everyone can get behind, please make sure to think of those who may be around you before singing about a “Gnomes head on a pine tree”.

Faulty Lights cause Fire

By Jibblet Quillfeather

An aspiring Engineer died after faulty lights hung on Winter Veil Tree sparked a fire in their home authorities said.

The fire started Tuesday night in the front room of a house in Elwynn. Investigator Baste believes the home owner, Vic Sploshun, tried to extinguish the fire with another one of his devices, but was overcome by smoke.

Baste noted Vic was unconscious when guards were able to pull him from his home, but were unable to revive the young man.

Neighbors had alerted the nearby garrison and had tried to rescue Mr Sploshun, but the front door was too hot to open. They said Mr Sploshun has lived in the home for the past two years.

Baste said Mr Sploshun had mentioned to his neighbors he was having troubles with his lighting, which he had recently made for decorative purposes.

Smoke and other inhalants from the burning tree and wiring likely overwhelmed Mr Sploshun while Winter Veil presents and logs for his fireplace, stacked near the tree, added fuel to the fire.

“We’re talking a hot, thick black smoke that was to the floor” Baste stated “Extremely difficult, zero visibility.”

Neighbor Karen Dalves remembered Mr Sploshun as someone who gave creative gifts to neighbors.

The Investigator reminds everyone to be careful during this holiday season and ensure your tree is properly cared for to prevent fire.

Top Five Places to Get Slammed

By Jibblet Quillfeather

Adventuring is thirsty work. Even if you’re drinking water the whole time. Besides, water isn’t all too grand in helping suppress the atrocities you’ve just survived! So in honor of your ability to survive, allow me to help you find a place to unwind, relax, and drown those sorrows away. Let's visit my personal top five places to get slammed.

Number Five: The Recluse

This place always seems to be packed with interesting types and all of them are here to do one thing. Get slammed, or, slam others. Sometimes I’m not entirely sure, but that just adds to its charm! It’s in an easy to reach location, and at the very least, can be the first place you stop in after the help of your local Mage!

Number Four: The Golden Keg

Want to feel like a Dwarf? Want the relative Safety of Stormwind? Then check out the Golden Keg! Enjoy a brew while listening to the nearby blacksmiths hammer away at their creations. Make your own tune to the rings of hammer meeting steel. Easily reachable right outside the Tram for when you decide you can handle real drinks in IronForge!

Number Three: The Tipsy Hourglass

Haven’t done enough adventuring for the day, but still need to wet the whistle? Want to risk being drunk on a floating rock? Stop by the Tipsy Hour Glass in Dalaran! Not only will you be able to find those hearty brews, but you’ll be able to enjoy some hosted drinking games, as well as help out this fine establishment.

Number Two: The Bloody Bunny

Now, at first, you might think “Who hurt Mr. Hops?” Luckily, you’d be wrong. The Bloody Bunny is quite the experience, being two bars one! On one side, the Bloody Bar, where you can find the harder hitting drinks and a whole lot of red. On the other side, the Bunny Bar, where sweet and soft is the name of the game in a relaxing hue of blue. Relax like a Bunny, or baste in Blood, and prepare for the hosted Brawls located between the two bars!

Number One: The Steel Pub

Now, this might be a bit biased, but I enjoy drinking with people my own height. The Steel Pub not only offers this, but some of the best drinks I’ve come across. It’s hard to say no to Bath Ironstout and her amazing brews. It’s also hard to not enjoy the coolness of the stone floor after just a few rounds. Laughter and friendship is the general mood here. Even you taller drinkers are welcome!
