THE RETURN OF VALOUR by Vanisse
--------------------
Lightwalkers, looking for a place to stay, away from the noise and commotion of Seringale? Here's a new hideout for you! The opening of New Valour has sparked considerable praise from most everyone who's gone there, with the exception perhaps of Vhrael, who got heartily trounced by none other than Kailya the flower girl.

The City of Light and Law? It sure looks that way. Perched over the gentle, glistening Bay of Vamana, the air is filled with the sounds of waves softly lapping against the sturdy supports. Each avenue sports its guards parading about in bright and shining armor, and the most mind- boggling fact of all: Look! No beggars!

Now, let me tell you, taking a carefree stroll or two through the streets of the New-and-Improved Valour is quite invigorating--the city is enormous, and filled with so many new and exciting things! Shops, with all the necessities you might need for staying here more-than-awhile, grand arches, glorious memorials, and a majestic Palace overseeing the city. You might purchase a guidebook or two from Ellora the new Valour librarian, to help you in your travels. Or rest your feet in the various cafes and pubs mixed in with the vast array of stores. But be warned! Those who walk in the Darkness are not welcomed here, nor are the excessively belligerent. Should you perform acts or cause trouble that is not to Sir Loanir's fancy, you may be exiled or Outlawed. And trust me, that is not a fun thing to be.

LOANIR OF VALOUR by Alehem
---------------------
A great happening has occurred for the Lightwalkers of Thera. The ancient ruin of Valour has long been a reminder of the marred History of the Knights. But due to their current and un-paralleled prowess, the Gods have let it be so that Valour was re-made, just North and East of Drakath. There is a new side to Knighthodd, Nobles. They are a type of Non-Violent Justice, of Lightwalking path only, whom the King of Valour (Current Executor of Knights) names himself. The Nobles and the King of Valour also have the unprecedented ability to brand Lawbreakers in Valour OUTLAW. The King may also Exile anyone from Valour (prohibit them from entering). Any youngling (or old-ling) of the Light wishing to be a Noble of Valour must be a Citizen of Valour and a peaceful person. I encourage you all, as Loanir has expressed, to visit the New Valourian City. Come, see what the Glory of the Light can build. It is a thing that is beyond compare in Theran experience to this half-elf. Any further question to the Laws of Valour can be found in the Northern part of New Valour, in the Station of the Royal Guard. Also, criminals from other cities are not welcome in Valour.

All Hail Valour and its new King!

THE ASCENT OF VHRAEL by Vanisse
--------------------
First came a nutsy ninja. Then came a gutsy justice. Now...a Guide?!

That's right. Vhrael, the Kibbybitzer of Seringale, has taken it upon his shoulders to bear the heavy crown of King of Valour. Now, nobody's seen him sit on the Palace throne, for he ordered a kitten to take a seat instead (who knew he, too, had a penchant for fried kitten?) but according to his ranting and that emerald throne he lugs about, there he is.

Apparently, Vhrael has a pet peeve over Valour's nose- in-the-air-ness over the alignment of the town's customers. (This may be due to his prolonged inhabitance of Seringale, where the merchants are quite eager to accept whatever one might have to offer as long as it brings business.) They're Prejudiced!! he shrieked, affronted. "These INFIDELS have tainted my town!" Hmm...he may have a point. Even Kailya wouldn't sell him a rose. Poor Vhrael.

Despite his shouting at both Seringale Squares and some mild and puzzled interest from the local citizens, Vhrael's claims have yet to be even acknowledged by the Knights of Valour. Other than several suggestions of insanity, and a bit of "Yup. Uhhuh" from the ever skeptical Rori, there has been no significant notice given to Vhrael. How insulting.
