Response to the Bugle from Baroness Glaze
Re: SIBLING RIVALS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF CENTRAL DUNGEON’S SECRETS (02-
Greetings
Whilst I appreciate that sometimes information can be difficult in obtaining
I would like to point out that although the foundation I am working with may have
sponsored a Vampire and Wererat that I am not working with them. I would actually
encourage the Vampire to not approach myself whilst we explore here as we do not
wish for an unfortunate accident to occur.

Assembly member Outlawed following Bugle investigation
Re: ROGUE BARON RAISES ARMY OF STONE MONSTERS TO TERRORIZE THE KINGDOM (14-
Dear Bereny Bugle
In your publication you recently accused a member of the Assembly, Lady Ygraine d’Agrillac, of being in league with the rebel Uryen d’Agrillac. You also implied that the Assembly may be lacking in loyalty to the Crown.
I can assure you that nothing is further from the truth. It is a founding principle of the Assembly that we shall defend the Kingdom of Bereny and its people, and that
the Assembly shall in all things abide by the laws of Bereny. As Uryen d'Agrillac is a convicted outlaw there can be no question of the Assembly supporting his unlawful insurrection against the legitimate king and regime of Bereny.
Following your allegations the Assembly launched a rigorous enquiry, and as a result the individual responsible for summoning magical constructs to serve Uryen was identified. Sadly, this individual was a member of the Assembly, but had chosen to disregarded both the laws of Bereny and the rules of this guild, and has consequently paid the price by being expelled from the Assembly and being outlawed by the Royal Courts. I believe she has now paid the ultimate price for her crimes and has been killed as an outlaw.
Lady Ygraine d’Agrillac is presently absent from the kingdom as she is risking her life in the Kingdom’s service by participating in the attack on Castle Lexor in the Brokenlands. Might I suggest that the Bereny Bugle owes her an apology?
Archmage Sylvester
The Assembly
[A response from the Editor] The Bereny Bugle made no allegations against Lady Ygraine itself, but merely reported that such allegations had been made. We are happy to congratulate her on being exonerated.

Massacre at Rijjeka -
Re: BLOODY MASSACRE IN THE GLACIERS (03-
Editor
With respect to your report we have conversed with Dame Jennifer Da Avro and this is our current understanding of the situation;
1) The Baroness used estate funds to help equip some members of the mission with improved equipment, a not uncommon gesture of the Tower, to improve the chances of success of any enterprise within which we are engaged. However she holds no official capacity within the mission and indeed there is no clear leadership or organization at this early stage. She is not a representative of the Crown in any but the most general senses both as a citizen and member of a Loyal Guild.
2) The area within which the "Snow Plague Mission" is operating is within the Southern Glaciers and our current understanding is that makes it practically beyond the widely recognized borders of the Kingdom. Therefore there are no Berenian Citizens in Rijjeka. Having said that the Tower as a matter of policy applies general Berenian Law to its behaviors beyond the borders unless in doing so we would be in direct contravention of a local statute.
3) The only combat we are aware of that has resulted in enemy casualties has been in relation to "Plaguewalker Zombies" and "Rebellious Peasants"
4) In the former case their earlier disposition before they became zombies is unclear. Their transformation into this state occurred at a time before the arrival of the mission.
5) In the latter case we are unclear who, or what they are rebelling against, but they were hostile and initiated combat and defending an individual's life against attack is a well recognized Berenian Legal situation
6) The mission purpose is one of mercy and rescue. To understand the nature and extent of the infection. Stop it. Rescue any unfortunates trapped and where necessary slay the unfortunate victims who are beyond help. This plague appears virulent and deadly. It must be prevented from spreading to a larger population centre.
In summary our investigations uncovered no merit in your sources allegations and
I would caution that the Bugle act with restraint in potentially inflaming passions
either against or within the Glacier Barbarian communities by printing unsubstantiated
rumors and specific mentions of any sub-
If, of course, further information were forthcoming that such an event did occur outside of Dame Jennifer's eyesight then she would submit the matter for us to forward to the King and Courts for consideration. We would then act in accordance with their guidance. We are servants of the Crown and Law not judges. We execute sentences, we do not decide them,

Knight Commander of the Grey Codex, The White Tower
[A note from the Editor] The Bereny Bugle has made no assertion of White Tower involvement in the incident at Rijjeka. Our understanding of Dame Jennifer Da Avro’s involvement is that she organised and equipped the mission in her capacity as a Baroness of the Crown, but that she was not present when the incident took place.]
