The Theran Mystique - Volume 4, Issue 6
REPUTATIONS
-----------

Artos the Drunk

As anyone who is anyone (and sometimes it seems like there aren't that many "anyones" around, just a bunch of "no ones") should know, the Heralds have among them a great and powerful gnome. He's not really powerful in the sense that I myself am powerful, with the whole "mastered all abilities from every single guildhall in Thera" background, but he's powerful all the same. One of the biggest areas of Artos's strength is his tolerance. Not of stupidity (none of us can really tolerate idiots), but of alcohol.

If it's fermented, Artos will find it. His flaring gnomish gnostrils (yes, I said it) can sniff out hops, barley and sour mash from miles away. Mead has met its match. Whisky has been walloped. Rum has been rolled over, all by Artos's conquering liver.

If you haven't seen or talked to the little guy, he's a really swell individual. I'd suggest finding him in the Mockers Tavern and tossing back a few glasses of the local specialty, unless straight whisky's your preference (and oh, is it mine).

For the reasons stated above, I have reputed Artos with the obvious title of "Drunk".

Gleefully yours,
Belbris

Zarat the Honest

For anyone that didn't already know, I was maliciously oppressed by the Justice named Zarat a while back. While standing at the North Square, my senses were assaulted when the patron Melenn arrived without any pants on. My sensitive and innocent halfling eyes were abused to such a degree that I felt it was worthy of some legal and lawful action.

Seeing Zarat standing at the North Square as well, I began to file a complaint. However, I soon realized that Zarat was too engrossed in the peep-show to pay much attention to my cries of desperation. I continued to badger and pester the Justice until finally he did respond to me - by marking me a criminal with a WANTED flag.

To make a long story short, my outcries of "Justice brutality" and "vulgar displays of power" were sent out immediately after. Zarat, fearing obviously for the security of his position as a Justice, came crawling to me, begging for mercy. As I am obviously a kind and benevolent soul, I figured that a little leniency wouldn't hurt, so I offered to let bygones be bygones if Zarat agreed to send a note of apology for his obvious abuse of authoritah.

Once Zarat's shaky hand penned the scroll of his apology and had it delivered, I revised my opinion of him. I understood how he could be overtaken by his manly urges, especially when presented with such an "open and free" individual as Melenn. However, that isn't to say that I approve of it.

Regardless of my opinions on Zarat's personal vices, I had to respect his straightforward nature in handling this matter. He didn't continue trying to press his issue, believing himself to be right. Instead he bowed down to my obviously superior arguments, and in turn made himself an honest man.

For the reasons stated above, I have reputed Zarat with the obvious title of "Honest".

Gleefully yours,
Belbris
