Fourth day of the second tenday.Merchant interests in Suzail have diverted shipping caravans to the Way of the Manticore in response to traffic on the East Way being halted by snow. All of the East Way from Arabel to Masoner’s bridge, where an enormous cloud responsible for the out of season snowfall was first sighted, has been covered in snow to the height of a draft animal. The cloud drifted west as far as Arabel, buried the city, and then dissipated. Traffic on both the Way of the Manticore and the Thunder Way is expected to double until the Easy Way is cleared of snow. -An unusual number of adventuring parties have arrived in Suzail over the last tenday. Most journeyed to the Royal Court, where the number of on duty Purple Dragons and Wizards of War have conspicuously doubled, whilst the remainder found lodgings in the homes of nobles. Sensing an opportunity to feed, the hungry maw of gossip gorged itself on speculation and rumor over these arrivals. Suzail’s wagging tongues (broadsheets) have provided many answers but little in the way of truth, these answers ranging from the outrageous (Queen Raedra has given up on finding a suitable consort amongst the nobility and has decided instead to marry a worthy adventurer), to the scandalous (nobles have instituted a practice of “riding” adventurers to determine their "worthiness" before employing them), to the clear headed (far too many adventurers are operating in Cormyr without a charter, thus has our wise Queen ordered them rounded up and brought to Suzail to either pay their way or lay down their swords). -A great many ships have anchored in the waters beyond Suzail’s docks. Not surprisingly, broadcryers employed by dockside shipping firms have fanned out into all of Suzail south of the Promenade. They are calling on folk in need of extra coin to report to the Docks at sunset to assist in the loading and unloading of cargo by night for wages one and a half times the day rate.</blockquote>
