Issue V
It is a shame but it seems that we go through editors as often as some of you go through lovers. Unfortunately this wasn't so much of a passionate affair as it was a quiet passing of two ships. Or... in this case it was more like an editor hopping on a ship to get as far from here as they could. Ah well, what can we do? Well, one thing we can do is bring you more of the news that all of you count on.
So welcome back to another issue of the Golden Quill!
o Ah, the smell of autumn is in the air! Or it would be if the island actually had more sense of seasons than hot, hotter, and hottest. Oh and sometimes rainy. Regardless, with the new season we have new fashion! Today it's not so much about clothing as it is a new trend sweeping the mainland that involves dyeing! No, not dying. There's enough of that anyways. No, it's dyeing! As in changing the colour of one's hair and fur in all sorts of intricate and interesting ways. The most popular trend currently is adding just enough dye to accent one's natural patterns. Leopards are decorating their spots, nagas are gilding their diamondbacks, and tigers are brightening their stripes. Some are even going so far as to dye all of their fur in new and interesting ways. We don't know about you but we here at the Quill are thrilled to see how this trend effects the island.
o As most of you are already aware it seems that the water supply has been contaminated. We couldn't very well call ourselves the leading source of news for the island if we didn't look into it personally, could we? So of course we did! That's what we're here for! As we did our research we looked into past issues with the water on the island and found something rather... interesting. Apparently back during the Drakorian Siege that everyone remembers so well there was a spot of trouble with some of the tea being poisoned. People got terribly sick and it caused a number of problems. Sound familiar? Now, we're not here to point fingers at the current Drakorians still on the island but in our humble opinions it does seem rather... concerning. Especially when one such is still a House Slave who's been known to stay in contact with his homeland. Surely it's just a mere coincidence. Right? What's worse is that the main one investigating the the crisis has been known to have a fondness for said house slave. Strange indeed, no? We'll be keeping an eye on this Sabaoth once again.
o Speaking of the standards of hiring for The Golden Tether we can't help but mention a few others. Dear readers, We don't know if you've noticed, but lately, there have been some very odd additions to the roster of Tether staff, more precisely to the handlers. We cannot but question the ability that both Fae'iqa and Biers have for these positions. We've watched them 'work' in the main hall, and we encourage you, out vigilant readers, to do the same. Their performance is pathethic at best. Anyone who needs a cane to move about has no business working with the Tether slaves. I mean, just look at the strange, and at times rambunctious assortment of personal slaves the stallion has. The impact of these assignments are already starting to become clear. Just this week, a dark unicorn mule named Hassan has been added to the roster of house slaves. We excel at our investigations, dear readers, but even we cannot find out what makes this slave worthy of such a position. He can scarce keep his own pants on and certainly only seems like he's only a pretty face. Beneath these handlers there has also been growing troubles with slaves fighting in the atrium of all places! These developments are troubling, dear readers, as we all strive for quality in the service provided at the Golden Tether. We encourage you, if you see something, say something about it.
o When it comes to the freeing of slaves there are a few things that we'd like to note for you, our dear readers. One is that quite usually they end up back in slavery due to being unable to fend for themselves. Mostly they don't realise just how much is needed to be able to take care of themselves so they end up with no money or with no means to actually manage. The other is that more often than not they end in the arena to attempt to scratch out some sort of meager living. Amongst those that has recently been freed would be one former Drakorian sympathizer known as Amelia. As a former slave owned by a former slave we certainly have our doubts of her capabilities. As it stands we'd be curious to see if she falls back in line with most others that gain their freedom only to lose it. We here at the Quill are currently taking bets.
o The Primes themselves certainly don't favour the island. With how often some tragedy or another befalls it there's very little doubt that we are not beloved by them. For that reason there have been recent whispers of shrines popping up in the forest and even in the underhall where they can't be seen. These shrines range from humble little stacks of stone in worship of Scarlong or Chim to more complex ones that show homage to Danival and Gavil. Not only that, but there have been talk of those who give their worship to far darker Primes. In fact, there are even a few cults if one knows where to look. From a drug lord who honours Mirmoggin in displays of cannabilism and scattered skulls to a pantheress that paves the way for Tagglin Tigh with smoke and ink. Who else out there is seeking the favour of the Primes?
o There is one last thing that we feel is... prudent to mention. Recently there have been rumours flying around of great beasts out at sea beneath the waves. Large leviathans and the like that have recently been scaring a few other sea creatures a bit closer to shore. It is uncertain as of now how serious the issue is but there have at least been a few small shipping vessels coming back to dock with complaints about it. That being said, those same vessels carried crews that were slightly less than sober and were happy to talk at great lengths about how they 'bested the tentacled bastards' or how they 'showed them who's the boss.'
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Don't lose your temper! Someone will be testing you and responding negatively will only make things several times worse.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Looking for that special someone? Well they've already crossed your path and will do so again soon. Keep an eye out!
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Someone in a mask will be coming to you soon. Don't let them coerce you into anything.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Let it go! Stop holding onto your grudges and get over it. Maybe you'll feel better about it.
Leo (July 23-August 22)
It's time to really show the person you adore how you feel. Make a scene of it. Go big and all out.
Virgo (August 23-September 21)
Sharpen your blades! The arena will be particularly kind to you. Get ready for some excellent fights.
Libra (September 22-October 23)
Turn on that charm! And and all ladies and gentlemen that you desire will desire you in turn.
Scorpio (October 24-November 21)
Someone is spreading nasty lies about you. Keep your friends close and your enemies much closer.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
Don't be shy! Break out of your shell a bit and embrace the parties around you. Have a bit of fun and live it up!
Capricorn (December 22-January 19)
Don't be stubborn. Being stubborn will only do you more harm than good right now. Just let it go and see where things take you.
Aquarius (January 20-February 18)
You really should start dressing a bit better. People will be assessing you by your looks lately and you wouldn't want them to gossip about you.
Pisces (February 19-March 20)
Go get that person you've been looking at. Make that bold move you've been afraid of.
Dear Quill. I'm a man in a position of considerable power. I'm a little older, fluffy, experienced, and a lover of good, salty food. Recently I've lost my wife of many years and it's taken me a long time to come to terms with my new found single status. I've had many girlfriends over the years, and plenty of slave girls too, but I've been curious about one of my entertainers. She leaves me longing for her every time I see her perform. The problem is, she's taken. I'm not really interested in dating her, I mostly just want to see what it would be like to be with her. I could command her to slob my knob, but I feel like that would make our business relationship awkward. What should I do ?
Old and Fluffy,
I would certainly encourage you to do what feels natural. Women typically enjoy a man that takes charge and by putting yourself forward in a quite, well... forward way would only endear yourself to her. Do something spontaneous. Pull her hair and make her purr. Take it from me, you don't want to let an opportunity bypass you.
Sincerely yours, Quill
