A pronouncement issued by community leaders within the Quarter of Iron Bells.

“Faced with the destruction we have suffered at the hands of our Divine Overlords, and the compassion and philanthropy shown to us by Union forces like Raphael and Number 71, we of the Quarter of Iron Bells have decided that we no longer wish to pledge our allegiance to our betters, but instead seek the company of our peers. After discussion between ourselves and Union security forces we are now under their protection, and any further acts of aggression from the Pantheon of Discord will be met with strong opposition.”

These are just some of the vast numbers of posts on the A-net, in fact they seem to be the only sort of posts. Several people have been complaining that they can't get on to post their own messages, and if they succeed then they are soon lost within the midst of the advertising. A-net or Spam-Net: who can tell?

“What a difference a few weeks makes. To any of those who were naysayers at the time, we hope the advantages of visionary Sylvios Brant's government have become clear. No more are crimes against our city unanswered - within weeks of the destructive rampage of the monstrous Exubera, her cultists have been arrested by the police force, and the damage she did has been near completely repaired. This has only been possible thanks to the unprecedented cooperation between the organisations of the city, with Union, Circle and Renaissant forces coming together to punish wrongdoers and restore the city to its former glory. To all those attending the grand exhibition Brant organised to celebrate these successes (including, of course, your humble editor), it was palpable that the city has entered a new age of prosperity and success.”

“Did you hear? Real, actual genuine no-holds barred strawberries. I tell you, thirty years here and I thought I had got used to the boring food that those as can't magic it get, but one bite and I was right back home, if only for a second. Best thing is, it's not just being sold up in the canopy - William Derse and those Purpose people are selling it to whoever wants to buy, and the prices are fantastic. Tonight, my kids are going to taste food like it's supposed to be, and may it not be the last time. Everyone goes on about how hoity-toity Mr. Brant is the best thing since sliced bread, but as I see it, that Gaius chap is the best thing that has ever happened to the city for people like you and me.”

“Yeah, screams, shouts, even a few people leaping off the side of the citadel. Thought I saw some temples on fire. Me and the wife had trekked all the way up their to make our dedications, but the people at the top said it wasn't safe, and we had to turn back. Apparently that wicked Exubera was trying to eat everyone, just like she did in the Pantheon district. Good thing the Union have been sorting out all her evil cultists. I hope that nice Mr. 71's airship managed to get to the citadel in time.”

If you're planning on making your vision a reality, better act soon, cause labour prices are on the up, up, up! Not only have tens of thousands of people been killed in all these terrible disturbances, but now, apparently, we've got an immigration problem. All the best labour guilds recruit right outside the temple of Architect to try and grab more of the new arrivals than the others, but sources have told us that the normal steady stream of arrivals have become a trickle. We've made official enquiries to the church of Architect as to whether there's some sort of problem with the magical network that's meant to gather people in his temple, but as of yet, received no reply. Our advice to you is to hire as many people as you can on fixed price contacts if you value having a workforce tomorrow.

All citizens should be informed of the new, reliable, safe, FREE Tram Service. In conjunction with efforts to rebuild the city, the College of Transport have created the Tram Service to help restore the City's infrastructure. With stations in every district, come and try it today.

Members of the meterological guild were today expressing amazement at the increased warmth and light being given off by the sun. It is believed that the energy output has increased drastically over the last few days however has now stabilised to give a comfortable temperature and bright light source similar to that described in many worlds outside of the City. Members of the guild are keen to get to the bottom of this phenomenon and are continuing investigations.
