[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 5170601, member: 11520"] There is a crispness in the morning air. The smell of meat and fish being smoked for the winter is on the air and there is a bustle of harvest. Festival season is here as the Summerling Elves prepare to depart for winter. Casks of new wine are broached and everyone wants a chance to raise a toast to a departing elf—a sure way to have good luck until the spring. It also means rowdy drunks and crowd control duties for the Constables. The days are shorter, but there seems to be more work to do. The Keepstorm playoffs are just getting under way and the talk of bars and coffee shops is whether or not the Red Knights led by Buster Stonebones can unseat last year’s champs, the Wizards and the mysterious Black Devil. There has been little news of the eco-terrorist Thaddeus Thornapple though your friends in the 15th think he’s planning something. Merchants begin to display furs and thick woolens as woodsmen and coal miners work overtime to lay in the stocks of fuel that will keep the city warm in the coming winter. The latest political talk is a debate about expanding the so called Dammit Wall in the 3rd to seal off additional areas of the ward to allow the magistrate there, Gerald Wormwood, to concentrate funding on reforms to improve the remaining smaller ward. This has led to calls in some quarters for a massive effort to bring order to the 3rd and particularly the areas behind the Dammit Wall. Your own Ignatius Ironshirt is a supportive of efforts to bring order to the area though most in the city have long since given it up as a lost cause. [/QUOTE]
