Have you noticed that your thigh rub is wearing a hole in your new Devilsaur Leggings more quickly than it should, or that your sword slips and slides in the grasp of your Devilsaur Gauntlets? Then you may have been a victim of fraud by Raedorai, the crafty (no pun intended) kalordei leatherworker! 343 More Words

Have you noticed that your thigh rub is wearing a hole in your new Devilsaur Leggings more quickly than it should, or that your sword slips and slides in the grasp of your Devilsaur Gauntlets? Then you may have been a victim of fraud by Raedorai, the crafty (no pun intended) kalordei leatherworker!

Reports have come in that wearers of her wares have been experiencing a lack in performance when taking their newly-purchased "Devilsaur" pieces out into the field. We have a statement from two anonymous victims who wish to help us spread the word:

"Look, lass! Bein' a dwarf has its perks, but me legs are thick, and ye know ye'v been scammed when yer legs rub through yer pants! I didn't spend me hard-earned coin on some low-quality pelt! I'm tryna get me mileage on these things - at least a week!"

"So I thought they would be trustworthy, seeing them selling them all the time. But after just a couple adventures I already have holes in both knees and some of the stitching has already started to fray! I can't believe this is happening to me.. I spent most of my gold on these!"

"She warned me before I purchased them that the Gauntlets would need to be broken in and would be stiff for awhile, so I practiced with them for a week. Well, my guild needed me for Onyxia and, as a tank, it's very important that I be able to use my hands! The gloves still hadn't been broken in, and instead, I couldn't grip my sword properly! It fell to the ground in a 'clunk', and I think even Onyxia herself laughed at me! Needless to say, my whole guild is on the lookout now, and I had to fork out the money for the repair bills!"

We purchased a pair of Leggings and Gauntlets from her, under the guise of an inexperienced adventurer, and got to work in the lab to discover what was wrong with her product. To our surprise, they aren't actually made from Devilsaur - they're made from PLAINSTRIDER!

Beware, everyone, and be choosy of who you do business with! Of course, we do not condone the harassment of Raedorai, but we felt the urgent need to make you aware of her practices! Take care of yourselves.

Shortly after the Opening Ceremony held in The Park weeks back, I was contacted by Krondus, a Kaldorei with a burning passion for his race's history.

Shortly after the Opening Ceremony held in The Park weeks back, I was contacted by Krondus, a Kaldorei with a burning passion for his race's history. We met, and discussed the past and present of his journeys, touching on the elves' loss of immortality and his newfound community, the Everlook Trading Company.

------------------------------------------------------

JANSITHER: Thank you for meeting with me today, Krondus.

KRONDUS: Of course, my pleasure.

J: It’s nice to meet another elf. It’s a far journey from Teldrassil, that’s for sure.

K: It is, the trip took many days. The fact that I ran into several… hurdles along the way did not help.

J: [She giggles at him, empathetic to his travels.] What kind of trouble did you encounter on the way to Stormwind? Who or what was your biggest obstacle?

K: Things in the Eastern Kingdoms aren’t quite as calm and peaceful as they are back home. Orcs infest the lands in the Eastern Kingdoms.

J: The most brutish of the Horde, they are. I would not want to face one, but unfortunately, I had to make the journey the same as you.

K: The dwarves are formidable warriors. I only wish they would protect their lands more. Perhaps the humans and dwarves of this land have gotten a bit too cozy now that the orcish problem is ours to deal with and not theirs.

J: What suggestions would you give them for reinforcing their infrastructure to make it safer for adventurers?

K: Searching out the remaining orcish strongholds in the region and securing the roads for safe travel would be a good start!

J: [She nods in agreement.]

K: Perhaps Teldrassil should send a band of Sentinels here. That would clean things right up, I imagine.

J: I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment. Perhaps they will see your suggestion in the paper and take heed to it. I do think that other races must step in with their forces in order to cull the threat. After all, the Alliance is a union.

Have you encountered any Horde aside from the orcs guarding passage to Stormwind?

K: Several bands of trolls seem to have been making their way into the Wetlands as well. Fortunately for us all, they aren’t quite the warriors that Orcs are. And I’m glad to say that I have not encountered any of those undead things that plague these lands as well.

J: That’s true, the orcs are unmatched in their strength and are, quite frankly, the most serious threat the Alliance have. The undead are another story. Do you sympathize with them for their lack of eternal peace?

K: Not in the least. Many forget, up until very recently, the Kaldorei were eternal as well. Eternity is a gift, not a curse. One that I hope the elves reclaim soon.

The “Forsaken”, as they call themselves, are fully capable of living meaningful lives, protecting what they love, and fighting for what they believe in.

J: I wish to touch on Nozdormu’s decision shortly, but I would like to ask one more question regarding the Forsaken. Is it fair to compare their eternal life to what was the Kaldorei’s, being that they have sacrificed their lives as humans?

K: Blaming others’ perception of them and using it as an excuse to shift the blame from the Forsaken’s actions looks like an act of cowardice to me.

Regret, frustration, anger, rage, remorse… One can feel these emotions and harbor them while still feeling joy, conviction, happiness, and living a life of love and earnest.

J: I am meant to stay neutral as a journalist, but I could not agree more. Our kind have given much, and continue to give, for past events.

K: Though I’ll admit I find them foul creatures, I do hope they learn to deal with their eternity and their remorse as the Kaldorei have. I think that would be best for all the people of Azeroth.

J: That is very respectable of you to say. As you were saying before, the Kaldorei lost their eternal life. Do you resent Nozdormu for his decision not to bless Teldrassil?

K: I do. The elves sacrificed much recently to protect this world. If anything, I feel like we have earned it more with the recent war than we did thousands of years ago during the War of the Ancients.

Perhaps it is presumptuous of me, and I don’t intend to insult the great race of dragons, but I find it odd he was so willing to reward us when his kin were involved, and far less inclined to do so when the dragons were not as at risk as before.

Shan’do Staghelm works tirelessly to restore our people to greatness. I have faith he will find the answer soon. And, in time, hopefully Nozdormu will come to change his mind. [He smirks at his unintended pun.]

J: How do you respond to those who accuse us of greed for wishing to regain our eternal life?

K: In the interest of keeping our bonds with the other races of Azeroth close, I will not comment on that. But I will say Archimonde and the Burning Legion have been pushed out of Azeroth twice, by the blood of our people. I hope our sacrifice can be appreciated.

J: Understandable, Krondus. I sometimes wonder if the lack of recognition for the Kaldorei’s sacrifices has been lost with time.

K: [He looks at the dark green, fel-colored scar on his arm.] Perhaps some of those memories are best left forgotten.

J: [She eyes his wound somberly.] Although our wounds are deep, time and companionship can help keep our focus from them. Have you found companionship during your journey?

K: Indeed I have. For a while I had my brother. After losing him I was devastated. But in time, I recovered and I have made several friends among the Everlook Trading Company based out of Winterspring.

J: [Her ears perk at the mention of Winterspring.] The Everlook Trading Company - I’ve heard of them! What is their mission? I was born in Winterspring.

K: After the lands in northern Kalimdor were ravaged from the last war, the Kaldorei needed a way to keep their outposts supplied and manned throughout the lands. The goblins were interested in purchasing land and establishing an outpost of their own.

Teldrassil brokered a deal that the goblins will front the cost of maintaining an outpost in the region, under the condition that they remain friendly to Alliance supply caravans in the area and protect them from Horde attacks. Goblins get their outpost in the region, and we get to use it as well. It’s a mutually beneficial relationship for both parties.

[He leans in to Jansither’s ear and mumbles.] It’s also a way to keep tabs on the goblins and ensure they don’t side with the Horde in a critical region of Kaldorei territory.

J: Are you not concerned by the goblins? Though business is second nature to them, I hear concerns regarding their… How do you say it, loyalty and trustworthiness.

K: Of course I am. The goblins do not so much as take a sip of ale in Winterspring without our knowing of it. They know they’re under scrutiny, and they’ve accepted that.

Goblins are brace, but not so brave as to betray the Kaldorei on their own lands. Many forces are stationed nearby at all times should anything go… amiss.

J: Very well, then. I am glad there are precautions taken for security. As an outsider, it’s great to get input from those involved with these operations. I knew of the Everlook Trading Company, but I did not know of their operations. Perhaps you will find more people interested in joining the company.

Unfortunately, I have another appointment relatively soon in Stormwind. We will have to end our interview momentarily. Is there anything you wanted to tell the citizens of Azeroth?

K: Together the Alliance can prevail over any threat.

J: Thank you again, Krondus, for taking the time to speak with me. This was a very lucrative interview, and I admire your passion. You have fire in your heart.

K: Thank you for taking the time to interview me. I wish you safe travels.

[They bow to each other, and Jansither nods at him.]

J: Farewell.

Hello, readers! This is Jansither, and today I am introducing to you the Times's first project, "Well Met". 166 More Words

Hello, readers! This is Jansither, and today I am introducing to you the Times's first project, "Well Met".

Well Met is a series of interviews focusing on the life and times of the common adventurer. Our goal is to learn and share how each individual of Grobbulus's Azeroth plays a part in the bigger picture, asking probing questions that will stimulate character-building and help the reader to view the world from their perspective.

The first volume of Well Met has already been published and was hosted by Jordana, who interviewed Thickie Thunderson. It is currently in the left column of the paper, so be sure to check it out! (https://grobb.org/e/365)

Our publishing schedule for Well Met is thrice weekly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Be sure to keep checking back for more volumes!

If you are interested in sharing your story with Azeroth, please contact me and we can set up a date and time to meet. The paper is neutral, and therefore we can also interview the Horde!

Thank you, everyone! I hope you enjoy what we have in store.

This update is in regards to the murder that was reported two days ago, on 09/04/19. We have received a tip from a commenter of the Times regarding what appeared to be the murder of a dwarf, Shadow, in the Stormwind City Streets. 207 More Words

This update is in regards to the murder that was reported two days ago, on 09/04/19. We have received a tip from a commenter of the Times regarding what appeared to be the murder of a dwarf, Shadow, in the Stormwind City Streets.

The commenter had suggested that Shadow, a hunter, was not actually slain, but was instead feigning his death for his benefit, regardless of leading others to worry.

I launched an investigation into the matter and visited the mortuary; there were no records of a Dwarf named "Shadow" having died. When I visited Stormwind Keep to ask the guards for a report of any recent homicides in the city, they stated that there were none to their knowledge. After I had spoken to the mortuary and the guards, I received an anonymous tip that someone had seen the Dwarf running around with his tiger.

Due to these discrepancies, I believe it is safe to assume that Shadow is alive and well, continuing to roam Azeroth as an adventurer.

Although this news may have had a positive turn around, please remember to stay safe out there. Always be prepared to protect yourself, even when you feel as though you are safe in your home.

And to Shadow: I don't know why you would feign your death, but I hope that you are doing okay, and I ask you to please consider the repercussions it may have on others in the future.

Thank you, everyone. Jansither signing out!

BREAKING: The Grobbulus Times have received a notice from an unknown distributor detailing the presence of a monster dubbed the "Witch of the Woods". A copy of the facial composite and note are attached below, for your reading convenience, straight from the source.



"Citizens of the Alliance, an evil has found its way into our home. Masquerading as a healer practicing the ancient, long forgotten ways, this monster corrupts the hearts of men and slowly drags one further from the Light. Beware the witch of the woods, do not answer its tempting call. Let the Light hear your pleas, not the dark magic of demons."

The ink that was used to scrawl the warning onto the page is still fresh, meaning that the threat is too.

Please keep your eye out for the "monster" our unknown informant has warned of. Although it appears to target men, we are unsure of its full potential toward women and others. If you have any information, please contact the Grobbulus Times immediately.

Thank you, and stay safe.

This article contains material that the reader may find disturbing. Your discretion is advised.

We have received breaking news from Mysticmama that Shadow, a Dwarf hunter, was ruthlessly murdered in the streets of Stormwind late last night, 09/02/19.

Onlookers stood aghast around the freshly-slain Dwarf; some kneeled solemnly and silently to honor him, while others asked questions in disbelief: A murder in Stormwind? Who could have done this?

Shadow is the only reported casualty; however, the responsible party has not been apprehended and, therefore, we caution you to travel safely and with a friend should you venture out into Stormwind past dusk.

Hello, everyone! Jansither here, bringing to you today the official transcript of the Solidarity (Opening) Ceremony which was hosted by Gonebald. 1163 More Words

Hello, everyone! Jansither here, bringing to you today the official transcript of the Solidarity (Opening) Ceremony which was hosted by Gonebald. The ceremony, which celebrated the 20th anniversary of the end of the Second War, took place on 08/31/19 at 6 p.m. and saw hundreds of Alliance attendees.

The ceremony began after players had gathered in The Park in Stormwind City, and was kicked off by a memorial walk through Stormwind’s Trade District, Cathedral Square, and canals. Once back to the park, the attendees organized themselves in the grass, eager to hear both Gonebald’s words and the ambassador’s speeches. Although wild, the ceremony was successful in reigniting the fire in the Alliance’s hearts, and some even went to cause havoc in Durotar afterwards.

On to the transcript:

Gonebald: This is an amazin’ opportunity for us to remember our tragic and heroic past and reaffirm our commitment to the futures and sorts!

Today we gather in memorial of the great sacrifices of the Second War.

Beginnin’ with the invasion of Khaz Modan and endin’ with the Alliance’s glorious victory at Blackrock Mountain, thousands of our kin heroically sacrificed their lives.

The battles at Dun Algaz, Dun Modr, Zul’Dare, Hillsbrad, Quel-Thalas, and Lordaeron City weigh on our hearts and inspire our courage.

Tha great sacrifice made by our kin will not be forgotten. Today we recommit to our great Alliance in their memory.

Ambassadors from all corners of tha world representing tha Alliance are here today.

Here to reaffirm their commitment to tha Alliance, please welcome Ambassador Gunner Hillsman!

Gunner Hillsman: My name is Gunner Hillsman, and I am a veteran of the 2nd and 3rd wars. During the 1st war I lost my mother and my home. I took up arms during the 2nd war with my father, who was one of the brave souls who made the ultimate sacrifice at the Dark Portal.

Through his loss, along with many others, we are standing here today. I miss my family, but I know they would be proud of the Azeroth we’ve become and I’m honored to be a part of something great with all of you. For King, country, and for the ALLIANCE!

Gonebald: Next, me would like to introduce ambassador Sir Adhemar Charney!

Adhemar Charney: It is an honor to stand before you all! All of this is to ensure the memory of those lost in their sacrifice remain unforgotten, as it will be a defeat by itself should a day come when none remember them. Light bless them and us all!

Gonebald: Our next ambassador is a night elf! Introducing ambassador Veritas Dreamsong!

Veritas Dreamsong: Thank you all for coming tonight to remember the fallen!

We have taken the path around the city so that we can honor those who had fallen before us! Those who fought against the Horde and other nefarious creatures upon Azeroth!

Those of us here have suffered in the past, the past three wars taking a toll. Though I do not know of the first two that your people have faced, know that the kaldorei have been with you and we will be your allies until the end. For the Alliance!

Gonebald: And now for the mighty dwarves! Ambassador Thadiggan Ironsoul please come up!

Thadiggan Ironsoul: Thank ye’ Lads and lasses for coming. I lost my brother, kin, and friend in the second war. Now we are remember them all. The blood we spill fer the Alliance will only serve the strengthen us all. Remember the fallen!

Gonebald: Also here from the dwarves, please welcome ambassador Oangus!

Oangus: Ironforge and our whole dwarven civilization would not be here without the Alliance. Our solidarity is the reason we survive today. Long live the Alliance, may she never be torn asunder!

Gonebald: Representing the gnomes is ambassador Gizzit, The Travelin’ Tailor!

Gizzit Grimwald: It is an honor to be present today. We remember the fallen. Hi, my name is Gizzit Grimwald. I travel the lands selling my tailor-made linen bags, shoulderpads, and various garments! To lighten the mood - I have a joke for you all…

What do gnomes and dwarves have in common?

VERY LITTLE!

Gonebald: And finally me would like to introduce the Chief Editor of the Grobbulus Times. She be workin’ tireleslly to keep us informed, Jansither Moonhaze!

Jansither Moonhaze: Thank you, Gonebald, and hello everyone! First off, thank you for taking the time to attend the ceremony today. It commemorates a great milestone for all of Azeroth, and it is nice to see you here supporting that.

As Gonebald has said, my name is Jansither Moonhaze. I am the editor-in-chief of the Grobbulus Times, and I would like to take this moment to invite all of you to join us in helping to establish the greatest journalism source in all of Azeroth.

We are seeking many writers, whether you are a beginner or an experienced journalist, and regardless of whether you wish to hold an official position with us, to capture the strife, adventures, and happenings across Azeroth.

At this time, I would like to introduce you to Jordana, a beginner journalist for our paper.

Jordana Flint: Hello all! What an incredible turnout!

Jansither Moonhaze: We will be holding short interviews to publish in the paper for those of you who are interested after the main event's proceedings. You may ask either Jordana or myself if you would like to participate.

We have another journalist, Avery Fenlock, who could unfortunately not make it tonight.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to have a conversation with me or contact me by mail. I would love to meet each of you. If you would like a copy of the newspaper for reading purposes, please send me a message and I will happily oblige.

Thank you, everyone, for listening, and thank you again for being here with us today. I wish you luck in your adventures.

Gonebald: Thank ya all for attending. Let’s celebrate! Break out ye ale!

------------------------------------------------

Throughout the ceremony, there were shouts of encouragement to the Alliance, and a lot of support for those who spoke. Alongside the official speakers, we also heard from a couple of others. Please see their transcription below:

Anivia Frostfeather: The Druids of Aviana stand in solitude with the Alliance to defend the forests of Kalimdor from Horde defilement.

Azshal: We must remember the fallen, even in these tumultuous times. We must steel ourselves, for many unseen threats lay in our path. One thing is certain: The Horde will be met with justice; from all the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor alike. Even my flight shall aid you; this I vow.

------------------------------------------------

I was lucky enough to introduce the Grobbulus Times at this event. The interviews mentioned will be posted in a staggered manner throughout the next week.

Thank you, Gonebald, for hosting the ceremony. And thank you, ambassadors, for taking the initiative to speak. We all thank you for what you have done for our community.

Here are some photos of the event.

Elune-Adore, Alliance companions! I had the pleasure of meeting with Gonebald recently regarding the Opening Ceremony he is organizing. Below is a transcript of said interview with answers to a few general questions, plus a touch on Gonebald's own opinion of Azeroth's threat forecast.

------------------------------------------

JANSITHER: Ishnu-alah! Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today, Gonebald!

GONEBALD: Thank ye, me lady. I like talking with an elf once in ‘er while. Ye ain't no dwarf, but you'll do.

JANSITHER: [chuckling] What I lack in dwarf charm, I make up in height! [she winks, nodding at him, and shuffles her papers] Alright then, Mr. Gonebald. You have quite the weekend planned! Please tell me a little bit about yourself and the ceremony you are putting together for both the citizens and guests of Stormwind.

GONEBALD: [initially looks confused by the joke, but proceeds anyway] Eh, me? Well, I'm the Master of Whispers in a guild call’ Dethroned. Which seems a lil' bit odd considerin' I'm not the quiet type. I been practicin', though. Anyways, me friend and I was sittin' around about 2 weeks ago and she came up with the idea for an Openin' Ceremony. T'was day dreamin' a bit so me don't member all the details. But she told me I should do the promotionons. I di'nt understand it either but 'pparently I s'pose to just tell people ‘bout it. Make sures you come. [points at Jansither] We going to celebrate the endin' of the Second War. There gon' be lot's of ale and snacks. And dancin' too!

JANSITHER: What a great way to commemorate such an awesome milestone! I know I, for one, am looking forward to joining you and the rest of the partygoers. Are there any other event staff that participants should look out for if they have questions or concerns?

GONEBALD: Lot's of me friends be helpin'. But if yas have any questions, I'm your dwarf. All this week ya can often find me in Stormwind at one of the taverns there. Me be drink... planning there.

JANSITHER: [smiles, raises hands in a shrug] Well, hey! The more people the merrier, they say! [lowers hands and crosses legs] Are there any micro-events planned for the Ceremony alongside the snacking, dancing and socializing, such as games, or are we going to see where the evening will take us and go from there?

GONEBALD: What more you need then ye ale?!? Me thinks, if I ‘member right, there be 2 speeches. But then the ale! Maybe we should do ale before speeches, too? I'll ask.

JANSITHER: I cannot help but notice what look like home-made information fliers for the ceremony, Gonebald. [flicks her wrist toward the papers, pointing her pen at them] Do you think that I could have a copy of those to complement our talk today? It would be great to display the event's information, especially since it is crafted by your talented hands!

GONEBALD: Aye! Well ya can have tha first poster with tha 'nouncement. [shuffles papers] The 2nd one be a Watch List for the guards. Ya can have that too, I'll 'member to tell 'em anyway. [reaches in pocket and pulls out a wrinkled paper with some crumbs falling off of it] And this 3rd one is just me To-Do List. Me need this one. … Naw, ya take it. Me memory like a hammer!

JANSITHER: [takes the fliers from him, trying not to think too much about who or what the crumbs came from] Heh heh, thank you, sir! This will help tremendously. [places them in her binder and quickly brushes her hands on her robes, trying not to be too obviously disturbed] Now, Mr. Gonebald, I would like to ask for your permission in touching on some more serious topics relating to Azeroth and the immediate area. Being that this event is in commemoration of the ending of the Second War, I think it is appropriate, but still, I want to make sure you are comfortable with it.

GONEBALD: Of course, me drink a lot, but I keepin' sharp eyes out and been hangin' 'round er'while.

JANSITHER: Excellent, thank you. [shifts her papers, pulling one from the back of her pile] I know that you are a dwarf, but you are also familiar with Stormwind - who, or what, do you believe to be Stormwind's greatest threat currently?

GONEBALD: Well me don't thinks the Horde comin' back anytime soon. But oh! Me was in Stormwind at the Blue Recluse. They don't have ales like Brewnall but it had to do. While I was there me heard of some big gnoll or pig walkin' ‘round just south of the gate. They called ‘em Pigger or Dogger or somethin'. Me usually good with names. Ya never know though when it comes to humans with ale. But if ya see the pig, ya should run.

JANSITHER: [raises one eyebrow and giggles] I have heard of the beast! I believe it is called "Hogger." I will be sure to spread the word. Maybe a group of adventurers will make their way down to "reconcile" the situation, if you understand what I mean. [pauses briefly] These next two questions should hit closer to home than the last. Do you think Ironforge is at risk of a Trogg invasion, and what do you believe will come of Gnomeregan?

GONEBALD: Hogger? Naw, me would 'member that name! Dwarves don't worry 'bout troggs too much. A stout Dwarf can take on a bunch of troggs! Me thinks a good Dwarven group could drive the troggs out of Gnomeregan. Then those little guys could make it like new again in no time. Easy Peasy!

JANSITHER: [eyes him, stifling a giggle] Very well, then, Gonebald! Before we wrap it up here, I had just one more question, focusing on a lighter subject again. After the ceremony concludes, do you have any other events planned? Do you think that you will integrate yourself as a solid contributor into the social planning of Grobbulus’s Azeroth?

GONEBALD: Tha best way to make friends is to get together with ales. Me wants to stay involved in more events. Plus me loves being orgabanized with me lists and stuffs! Where is that list anyway? [searches his pockets] O’ well, it's all in me memory! Thanks Jansither for lettin' me share in your paper.

JANSITHER: [bows her head toward him in respect] And thank you, Gonebald, for taking the time to talk to me. Before we go: Do you have anything you want to say to the readers?

GONEBALD: Bring ye friends, and see everyone at the Openin' Ceremony!

JANSITHER: Ande'thoras-ethil! Goodbye!

------------------------------------------

The Opening Ceremony will take place on the 31st of August at 6 PM server time in the Park District of Stormwind. Gonebald will be assisting and can be directly contacted with questions or concerns regarding the event. Activities include dancing, drinking, socializing, and celebrating! Come join the fun!

Supporting media provided by Gonebald:




------------------------------------------

As some of you may know, there were a few others who were meant to participate in the organization of this event. Among those are Klungo and Ted. Unfortunately, and with a heavy heart, I must announce that Klungo was made a tasty treat by a crocolisk in Loch Modan. Ted's whereabouts are currently unknown, and we have not been able to make contact with him. We are unsure if his disappearance has any correlation to Klungo's death, but the two may be connected.

And lastly, here is a personal message from Lerain to Gonebald regarding Klungo's passing:
"I'm sorry for the loss of your friend Klungo, he may be gone, but he will live on in all of our hearts. You've done amazing work, and if anyone is to be given credit, it's you."_

------------------------------------------

Somber announcements aside, we look forward to seeing everyone on the 31st at 6 PM. Farewell!

Hello, citizens of Goldshire!

My name is Jansither, and I am one of the editors of the Grobbulus Times.

As you may know, tensions are running high as Goldshire's mayoral election approaches. We will be reaching out to interview Mr. Moneybucks and Vanque, both front runners of the Goldshire election, and any others that emerge in the coming weeks. Our goal is to gather information to ensure that your vote is an informed one.

While we have an outline of concerns to present to them already, this is a community affair and, in the end, it's you who should be asking the questions. We are seeking the questions and concerns of those who reside in Goldshire and its surrounding areas to add to our arsenal of material to present to the candidates.

Please respond to me here should you wish to contribute to the interview.

Thank you, friends!
