Continued Gang Violence in Downings
Even though leading figures in the settlement have called for peace, violence between members of rival gangs is on the rise here in Downings. Shootings have occurred recently at several raves, and it seems that every week a body is fished out of the subterranean lakes of West Terra. A former sub-boss of Rama’s has also been killed in a bomb explosion at a diner off the Imperial Way. Joran Nitra was known as a moderate figure among the leaders in Downings. A woman named Elysia Graham was treated for injuries from the blast as well, but was not available for comments on the incident. Fortunately, there were no other injuries. The bombing took place while the popular eatery was closed for the night. Dozens of patrons usually fill the ‘Coffee and Snackery’ morning and night.

Lost City Found
After decades of being lost to the High Jungles of Atlantis, Uxmal is being reclaimed once more. Teams of Uxmal residents have been trying for the past year to locate the swath of High Jungle belonging to this Principality, but all expeditions had been falling short of their prize. That is, until now. Newly acknowledged Archon of Uxmal, Andronikos of Uxmal and Memnon is the only son of the last recorded Archon of Uxmal, Helene of Uxmal. Helene was one of the most celebrated Archons of the Principality, known as a great philanthropist and caretaker to her people. She made great strides in the years she led Uxmal, contributing brilliantly to the needs of the Principality, particularly in the fields of harmonious architecture and engineering; a much needed component to the survival of the High Jungle’s accelerated growth and aggressive wildlife. Archon Andronikos led each of the expeditions to reclaim the Principality himself, citing that the victory in the War of the Machines here in Atlantis was one of the primary reasons he realized it was time to rebuild. “Our people have endured much sorrow in the history of our great Principality, but we have also seen great triumphs this past year. I wish for no more than to give them back the legacy of their heritage as they have given me in naming me Archon this day by the blessing of our beloved king.” Uxmal has risen and fallen three times in the recorded history of Atlantis. It is […]

Trade Deal Stalls at the Library
This is your friendly reporter from the Library, Kitty Barclay. People tell me that a trade deal being negotiated at the Library is dead on arrival. Leading figures from Downings and the Library had been speaking, looking to set up a better framework for trade. Surely you’d think that if people wanted a deal, they could make it happen. Well first the Kree don’t like something that the Vinro do like. And then the Vinro disapprove of a concession being offered by the Kree. This seems to happen more often these days, not that I’d hold anyone in particular at fault. They just get along like, well, Kree and Vinro. And then, the trade delegation from Downings leaves. I hear that someone supporting the deal in Downings withdrew their support, and then the whole deal goes down. It’s a good thing we’re getting some trade with Atlantis. This is Kitty Barclay, signing off.

Influential Meurlain Leader Dies of Natural Causes
Meurlain leader Witness Ru died this past weekend of natural causes. She is reported to have died quietly in her sleep of a brain aneurysm. The Meurlain community in Elder’s Grove, in keeping with their traditions, held a quiet ritual during which her cremated ashes were spread about the gardens in Konjito Monastery to rejoin her to Shiak’tian. Afterwards, the Monastery hosted a modest feast in her honor for all of Elder’s Grove. She was well known throughout the planet as an emissary of peace. Small demonstrations were also held in her honor in Morgan’s Landing and White Falls. The Meurlain have refused all questions of who will take up the responsibilities of this eminent figure at this time. Ashi Ru Arashi was born on Patala, and was the oldest of six siblings. Genetic testing revealed an extraordinary potential, and she was well educated and trained at the Kangso monastery in Anju province. Known as a gifted planner, her preparations were key for the survival of Elder’s Grove during the Machine War. Konjito, and the world, have lost a vital leader.

3 Dead in Firefight
Violence erupted today at a rave held in little Naraka. According to eyewitness reports, members of a local gang held the rave. When members of a rival gang attempted to force their way into the dance, violence erupted. Someone threw a grenade, and a firefight ensued. Dozens were wounded in the worst act of violence for the last few months. Local gang leader ‘Trev’ agreed to be interviewed by this reporter. “We were just there, enjoying this killer new brew made by this guy from Erlik, ya know? And there was this explosion. And we said ‘Whoa, we better bug out man.’ And there was all this shooting, and then my buddy Red got shot in the head. I mean, his head totally exploded. And we were like ‘whoa, this is no bueno man’. And this guy we met totally helped us out. I mean, this aggression really will not stand, ya know what I mean?” Local authorities are looking into the incident which they are calling spontaneous, and not part of a greater trend. Even still, the murder rate here is on the rise. And the citizens of Downings are looking for someone to keep them secure. The Rangers of Avalon better step up their game.

Investigation Concludes
The investigation into the fire at Power Control Junction #3 has concluded. Six suspects have been indicted, all of them citizens of Downings. Persons unknown stirred Jeth Yitzar and others into acts of violence. The Compound is offering a reward of 100 MU for person or persons that offer definite proof on the identities of these people. Mr. Yitzar plead guilty to all charges. His co-defendants did not present themselves before the court, and were sentenced in absentia. Mr. Yitzar was convicted of unintentional murder and assault of sentient beings. All the co-defendants were sentenced to death by hanging, but Mr. Yitzar’s sentence was suspended. He has been remanded into the custody of the Elders of the Quarry, in Downings, for their trial and punishment. This course was plead by Saddik Sanjani, newly appointed military public relations head. “What these people did was wrong, and we will not stand for this senseless aggression. However, we will work within the community of the settlements on Eclipse, and with the Rangers, to see that justice is done, not vengeance. We thank those who captured Mr. Yitzar, and are working with the Compound to ensure that those who practice aggression against other sentients are not tolerated.”
