The Blue Jay Strikes Again!

Three days ago, the lady thief promised to relieve Nilsatis of their prized sapphire crown. And as is well known: when the Blue Jay makes a promise, she keeps it!
During this afternoon's chaos, when two houses floated away - including poor Nilsatis' - dozens of bystanders witnessed the sudden exit of the Blue Jay, in her typical, stylish, azure coat. Witnesses swear she glided down from the mansion as it floated higher and higher, the crown gleaming in her hand, straight onto the Sun! It seems she is more daring than even her most devoted fans imagined! What could she have done on the Sun?
Reports say the mysterious thief was not the only one to have landed on the Sun today. Apparently other figures were seen tumbling out of the floating house onto the Sun. We are eagerly awaiting further developments!

Daily life in the military

Jackson is known to many as the glue of the Sanctuary. Many grounders believe that the Sanctuary would fall apart without his leadership in the military. What does Jackson’s daily life look like though? We had a journalist spend a whole day with Jackson to get the inside scoop:

6:00am, wake up
7:00am, start admin of replying to letters
7:30am, meets with mysterious hunter we believe is called Caliban
8:00am, meeting with Frank about preventing crime in the Outer Sanctuary
9:00am, daily rounds of the Outer Sanctuary
11:00am, meets with the mysterious hunter again
12:00pm, lunch, home grown beet sandwich
1:00pm, daily rounds of the Inner Sanctuary
4:00pm, meeting with Tom to gauge the situation at the perimeter
4:30pm, argues with Tom over some barrels
5:00pm, sending out the final letters of the day, mainly complains about floating houses
6:30pm, sending out some thugs to arrest a violent mob leader
8:00pm, either a peaceful night or visiting the Level Head

The Custodians cause chaos

Earlier today a masked revolutionary attracted a crowd where the houses take root, giving a riling speech before cutting a house loose. Some bystanders said this scene made them “sad to see a floating house wasted like that”, and “frustrated that the Custodians are trying to take the beauty of magic from us”. The military arrived before the cutting began and stopped the cutting of more houses, but it seems the assumed Custodian made it away without getting caught. The military refused to comment on their lack of success given they consider it an active investigation.

Fashion, what to and not to wear to a Banquet

We all know the Archmage’s banquet is coming up, which means there’s another chance to flaunt your wardrobe to some of the biggest names in the Sanctuary. By following our advice, you’ll be so dazzling even Nullapretium will have no choice but to submit in total awe and admiration. Step 1: WANDS: Wands! What are they for? No one knows - but apparently they look cool! It’s an aesthetic of some sort, definitely. Step 2: NO DOLLS. Come on, surely this is self-explanatory. Who brings a doll to a Banquet? It's practically screaming “I already have a dance partner”. Step 3: BABY BLUE is the new black. Step 4: GLIDER CAPE: Who has seen the Blue Jay's latest display? The better question is, who hasn't? This is the new trend, get on it and glide.

Monster successfully repelled

At roughly 7:00am this morning a single Flying Mane managed to reach the barrier, close to where a group of people were hosting some morning yoga. They were about to alert the Hunters, when some already started arriving! Fen and Hen, alongside several other Hunters easily repelled the attack. “It was a like a dream come true, Fen is so cool! I would get attacked by monsters every day if it meant I could hang out with them!”, said one of the bystanders. “We advise every civilian to try and stay away from the Perimeter today and warn the Hunters immediately should you see any suspicious activity.” was Hen’s advice to the public.

The Deep Circus is recruiting!

Please see the attached flyer for more information.

An extract from the attached flyer that does not bear any obvious relevance to the Deep Circus:

 Three more days
 Come, behold the crownless king
 Let the child sing
 Where is your crown, your promise, your strength?
 Look not at the callous sky
 
 Three more days
 Come, behold the throneless king
 Let the knell ring
 Where is your throne, your power, your hope?
 Forget the callous sky
 
 Three more days
 Come, behold the hollow king
 Cut the puppet strings
 There is no truth, no shortcut, no salvation
 Just the same callous sky
 
 Three more days
 Make them count
 Make them pay
 Rage, rage
 Neath the same damn sky
