Gregor Gets Gold out of Jericho!
King Gregor of the Octopolis captured some New Vegas tourists and called them spies and threatened to burn them at the stake.
King Jericho, through the offices of Princess Myfanwy of Amber and her husband, King Grim of Asgard.
Secret negotiations took place in Karmways, The Five Seasons Hotel in Antilla Station and the old grist mill in Garnath Duchy.
Apparently Myfanwy had to also sing to Gregor the entire repertoire of Celine Dion including the Titanic theme song 19 times.
Jericho paid a ransom of 40,000 pounds of mithril and gave up 3 arkenstones and a 20 foot portrait of Valentinian The Conqueror to get the hostages releases. The hostages came back but no one can confirm nor deny that they had their teeth.
King Gregor, Duke of Karm, is notorious to taking out both high and low born’s teeth as a hobby dentist without benefit of painkillers and with benefit of a pliers. He removed the teeth of several high bloods years ago as part of the Soren Incident.

New Government for Golden Circle Empire
King Bleys today has lifted the emergency measures that were imposed in the Golden Circle.
“With 99% of the strife over and peace coming back to the loyal client kingdoms of the Golden Circle, I am delighted and proud to end the Inquisition.
The Golden Circle is now looking after its Reconstruction under totally loyalty to the Crown.” said King Bleys at Court today.
“I am creating the Imperial Privy Council for the Empire of the Golden Circle to facilitate good government under the authority of the Imperial Viceroy.
There will be a Cabinet to supervise all areas of government under the central authority while respecting the autonomy of the Client Kings. This includes all Foreign Affairs outside the Golden Circle. Client Kings may have Embassies with each other and High Commissions in Amber City but may not have relations with sovereign nations outside of Amber.”
“There will be a customs union inside the Golden Circle and a special Free Trade agreement with the Kingdom of Amber. The Kingdom of Amber will negotiate any trade agreements with all foreign powers in friendship and with an eye for prosperity.”
“There will be a Judicial process that will be under the supervision of the Imperial Viceroy as the Courts in Amber and under the King of Amber. The Coke principle does not exist in Amber and the Oberon Doctrine still remains in place and is extended to the new Imperial Viceroyalty. The Golden Circle model shall be Federal in nature.”
“We thank the Grand Inquisitor, Prince Wendell for his years of effort in winning the hearts and minds, stopping the rebels and feeding the tummies. We wish to name my grandson, Prince Wendell, as the Viceroy of the Golden Circle, Chief Administrator and Commander in Chief of its Armed Forces effective immediately”
“Client Kings will upon their accession and once, every 7 years, will be required to present themselves and do homage to the Viceroy or to the Emperor (King Bleys of Amber) when he visits and holds an Imperial Durbar.
“Tribute from client kings is now abolished. There will be a direct taxation system created – which will be directly upon the Golden Circle from the central government that will be less per capita than the cost of tribute but is expected to produce many efficiencies. Client Kingdoms will have their own taxation system which will be separate from the Imperial GC Government. The Imperial Government will issue its transfer payments to the Royal Government in Amber based upon discussions with the Royal Government in Amber and the Imperial Government of the Golden Circle.
King Bleys noted that over 40,000 Amber subjects are junior and senior officers in the Imperial Army and Navy, officials, bureaucrats and non commissioned officers in the new Golden Circle administration. He also said that many new graduates of the Helgram Academy are being actively recruited to assist in building the new government. All have been tested for loyalty to King Bleys. King Bleys said that these opportunities can give Helgrams and other high bloods opportunity for gainful progressive employment and do not need to go to special retraining programs like the one in Malus City. UT because of on the job training programs set up by Wendell.
Aemeliana DeFanged – In Palliative Care – SoR Disbanded!
After a speech that can almost be declared as self-immolation, “Saint” Aemeliana FitzJesby was admitted into the Special Hospital for the Deranged and Poisoned in the Grand Duchy of Jesbyways. Immediate Jesby family members have told the press that Aemeliana had a terrible from of Abyss Syphilis where the final stages of this disease are kicking in.
Members of the House of Jesby are petitioning King Swayville to allow her birthname of Jesby to be fully restored as well as her Barony of Aemelianaways. The Royal Office considers that “her renunciation of her noble status and titles to be utter madness as well as her anti-monarchism to be proof of her diseased ridden insanity.”
Aemeliana is most infamous for being the founder and head of the Society of the Righteous (SotR) which was a more radical organization founded by dissidents unhappy with Amnesty InterCreation and its willingness to abide by the laws of the land. Aemeliana suffered from emotional guilt for being a high born soul and compounded with her disease, was very unhappy. Her followers performed many terrible crimes including the recent murder of a Channicut natural son of the late Grand Duke Tubble in the 1997 Earth.
In her final stages of madness, she revealed many of the Society’s unsavoury and hypocritical practices including their vast largess and secret bank accounts. It is said she even revealed over 100 quintillion Thelbane Pounds worth of hidden assets in secret bank accounts with the code numbers across creation. It is reported that before they were seized by law enforcement, many of her questionable followers are now retiring as Billionaires. The Head of the Society of the Righteous confessed to unsavoury personal habits, including mass poisonings, that even horrified hardened former members of the now defunct Jesby Auntie’s Clique.
It is unclear who is going to take over the Society of the Righteous as many of her trusted advisors had cleared out her bank accounts. Said one anonymously from his new penthouse in a neutral shadow, “We could not use corrupt Parys/Garnath banks because they demanded proof of identity so it was easy to get a few billion out in a rush before the others took it beforehand.

Wiki Woes
It’s not been a great time for the wiki lately. We have been hacked, and while we are now running again, everyone is going to have to use the ‘forgotten password’ feature to get themselves a new password before they can log in again.

Ancient Earth – A Plague of Frogs
Ultima Terra seems to be struck with a plague of frogs shortly after the one in Ancient Earth ceased.
The sources seem to emanate from a pond near Malus palace and from the city of Duluth.
At the same time there has been a similar plague of frogs also impacting the capital of the Duchy of Karmways.
Seems that French cuisine in both places have a lower price of frog legs.
Reports are that Princess Deirdre broke down and started to weep over the cruel fate befalling all those poor innocent cute froggies. She reportedly was consoled by sons Joseph, Gregor, and Lazare, possibly stepson Avon.
