Well party people it looks like good old Sir Tim has once again come up trumps on the party stakes. The Red Dragon would like to say a big thanks you to Sir Tim for all his hard work at giving the rest of us a good time. We would love to know how you do it, especially as you don't seem to have a job or anything.
The King of Spin for the papacy has received the ultimate in promotion. Lets all give a hearty Red Dragon cheer to Minister Scriven for becoming Pope Scriven. Lets just hope that we all cheer loud enough so that his inquisition doesn't think we are being disloyal. Although there are some signs that the papacy is lightening up, perhaps they are going to host one of Sir Tim's parties.
The king is dead, long live the king! Congratulations to Tarin Andor and commiseration's as well. Looks like things have been changing in the head of state department faster than the Red Dragon can swig an ale.
Seafarers and traders are reporting havoc as a new Island is apparently causing all kinds of trouble with known routes and charts. Apparently some new island has just risen out of the water and is sitting there looking all green and lovely. The only problem is that no-one seems to be able to actually land on it as the tidal waters don't seem to be letting them get close. Sounds to me like those sea fares have been a little too hard on their drink recently.
In financial news the City States are showing an incredible amount of financial acumen and growth of late. Apparently the four city-states are now some of the most important players in finance and trade anywhere in the known world. What with the standard of living rising and rising there perhaps they would consider letting the Red Dragon re-locate?
