Page 1 of 4 The Chronicler's Bit
Once more the Blether rears its ugly head much like a sea monster that inhabits the uncharted areas of the great oceans. Impressive from a distance but not something you would want to take home to show your parents.
There have been quite a few changes in the last year, especially amongst
the Drachenwald Royalty. Count Sir Garick and Countess Talitha stepped down but not before they gave the editor of this magazine an AOA for, and I quote, "The high standards of Journalistic Integrity " in the hope that they would be spared the usual Blether incisive commentary. The editorial staff were a bit bemused by this as no one has ever tried bribing them before, mistaking it as a generous gift instead. Next followed Earl Sir Edouard and Countess Eanor whose reign passed without comment from the "B team". Royalty being Royalty were so miffed by this omission that they have joined the ranks of PCS's that are both a blessing and a bane to Drachenwald. Their Royal Majesties Elffin and Vanna are currently in charge although Elffin has shown some tendencies to poor judgment and possible hereditary insanity over Rockall, but then he will only be King for another couple of months. Their Royal Highnesses Jurgen and Lilliard will take up the baton in June. It only seems fair that we should wait till they sit upon the hallowed throne before digging up the dirt on them.
What does this prove?, Only that Royalty comes and goes but that a Kingdom Officer is for life!!. So, remember, feed your officer well, keep them on a short leash and take them for regular walks. You know it makes sense, cuts down on the bad breath and gives their coats a healthy shine. If you want to be really nice to them, giving them a good scratch behind the ears works well, or so I've been told.
There is a real mix of articles and fillers for you to digest in this issue. Anne Colet, who is rapidly becoming one of our regular contributors discusses sex and pregnancy but not necessarily in that order. There is a treatise on awards especially for the Warbands event, Tancred Beerswiller's problem page is back by public demand and last but no means least a new feature, Stud Muffin of the month, appropriately positioned on page 3.
As yet the Blether has attracted neither a subscriber nor an article from outwith the shire. There were rumours that the Peers of the realm were going to sponsor Tancred's Problem page. It was felt on reflection however that the editorial independence of the Blether might be compromised, that and they didn't offer enough money, beer and sheep to make it worth my while.
