Arson Prevented

A potential calamity was prevented by constables of the Royal Homeland Constabulary last night, as they caught several arsonists in the act of setting fire to an alchemical factory in Parity Lake. Factory owner Heward Sechim, who was inside the building at the time, said that the consequences could have been disastrous, as the factory next-door contains a large stock of firedust.

When asked if this latest attack was the work of the noted terrorist Gale, the RHC had no comment.

Goodson Snared

Wealthy industrialist and renowned son of Flint Guy Goodson has wed a Crisillyiri noblewoman, Lady Arilette, née Unitas. The ceremony at the North Shore Clergy temple was private, but a sizable crowd of well-wishers gathered outside to welcome the happy couple.

Since King Aodhan’s betrothal there has been increased interest in the wedding plans of Flint’s most prominent citizens, including Goodson, and discussion about the practice of marrying outsiders, which was formerly rare among the noble and wealthy of Risur.
