Zyf's Journal Part 41
Behold, it’s journal entry forty-one from Zyf, devoted of Myn!
This Just In!!
‘Good morning Imperium! Avitus-radio news time, three turns past dawn and the big news of the day is the disbanding of the Lansraad by his divinity, Padashar Emperor Shahadinius Calaphus Westerinus Hadrian Phoeahus Galbandon VII. The noble houses, major and minor, have had all lands seized and many of the more vocal lords have been arrested. Many others, including the recently reinstated leader of the Retrovir clan, Amalia, have fled the city. It is rumored that she has joined with that upstart youth, d’Carabas, in the Wyldland city of Evenfall. The Royal Prince is offering a substantial reward for information regarding the location of any of the traitors.
Back in a moment after this word from our sponsor.’
‘Come on down to the Emperor’s Ortolan Shacke! We only choose the most delicate song birds and fatten them on a secret family recipe until they grow to four times their natural size!

Come to the Shacke

For family fun
that’s second to none.
It’s birds for all,
just give a call.
We’ll roast one up
so you can sup
at the Emperor’s Ortolan Sha-aa-aa-aacke!!’
‘Welcome back listeners, Avitus-radio weather, clear and cool today with a slight chance of violent hailstorms and planar rifts. And now a report from our roving reporter Radomir on assignment in the Wyldlands. ’An assassination attempt took place at the d’Carabas compound last night. The target was none other than the young lord. Rumor has it that his daughter, um wife, Sophia was also targetted. The heinous attack was thwarted by none other than the Emperor’s private elite adventuring troupe, the Emperor’s Talons, who as you recall, returned the sun to the sky last year.’ Thanks Radomir for that timely report.
Let’s go the phone lines. Hello caller, you’re on the air with Avitus-radio, what’s on your mind?’
‘Hi, long time listener, first time caller, does the Emperor have any long term plans for the Wyldlands? I mean those people are just filthy and so uncultured. He should just use his divine powers and turn that entire place into a parking lot!’
‘Wow, that’s some opinion, caller. I’m sure the Emperor will do what’s best for the entire Imperium so don’t you worry. Let’s take another call. Hello caller, you’re on the air with Avitus-radio, what’s on your mind?’
’d’Carabas ain’t human! The Emperor needs to be careful of that one! He’s oily and reptilian and he’s leading the traitors. He’s not what he seems, he’s an ancient black dra…..’ CLICK!
’Ho’kay then, heh-heh-heh, maybe we’ll just let you rant on someone else’s program. Let’s go to commercial and come back with the wrap up.’
‘Be all that you can be! Join the Emperor’s Guard and travel the world. From Redgrove to Chandegar to Mirimum, all the way across the oceans to the Wyldlands. We want you to spread the words and works of his royal divineness, the Emperor. Excitement! Adventure! Riches! Come to the Atrillian Hall (former meeting house of the Landsraad) in the Alta Plaga and apply today! It’s not just a job, it’s your duty!’
‘Avitus-radio breaking news: the Emperor has been kidnapped! The Emperor has been kidnapped! The details are still coming in, but what we’ve learned so far is the Emperor was holding a private audience with some of his closest personal friends when he was viciously attacked by an extra-planar host of demons in the guise of animals and elementals. The Royal Prince died heroically defending his father and several of the Emperor’s angels were also slain. The people of Avitus are anxiously awaiting any news. Again, the Emperor has been kidnapped, the Royal Prince is dead. We’ll keep you updated throughout the day. Now more than ever, we need the guiding hand of Zyf, devoted of Myn!‘
