16. Sigmarzeit, 2522

It has come to our knowledge that a self-claimed prophet is traveling with some group of decadent artists calling themselves as “Ulfred Hahn’s Circling Circus”. Our very own Pyotr Mark encountered the troupe at the hill of Jägerschloss and mister Mark tells us that they were a very interesting group indeed.

Mark tells us that while the group was interviewed by the local priest of Sigmar the prophet made his presence known by smiting the audience with the power of Sigmar and by locating a dangerous conjurer who has creating an unholy monster to win in a rooster battle! Needless to say the priest was stunned by showing of such presence and made sure that the carnival continued its journey under the blessing of our lord.

It very much seems that this carnival might be the same one that caused disturbance at the edge of Schadensumpf not too long ago. If this is the case the Daily Empire makes a promise to follow the footsteps and doings of this carnival during these mighty stressed times.

10th of Sigmarzeit, 2522

As one of our informers returned with from Marienburg he told us an intriguing story.

It seems that a new carnival has entered the region of Middenheim on this troubled time. What the name of the carnival is he could not say but they sure have seemed to encounter problems. The Carnival passed through Elsterweld during the first days of Sigmarzeit and made quite an impression. The villagers had told our informer that the carnival hosted mutants, greenskins and beastmen and planed to turn the whole town into a playground for Villainous Powers.

Now this all might seem to you to be grave news indeed but as our informant had asked a few questions to make sure what had happened the villagers fell silent and only by determined questioning the truth was uncovered. The villagers didn’t actually see any mutants, the only greenskin in the group might have been a child in costume for the man the villagers burned as a beastman wasn’t a mutant at all but just a stupid fat man with horns tied to his head for show.

This should all be a dire warning to all fear-mongers not to take justice into own hands. Even as the times grow darker and darker and these rumors of war seem to float around we should trust our fate to the hands of those who know what they’re doing. There’s no need to burn innocent (or seemingly innocent) people when we have the mighty church of Sigmar to do it for us. Whether we wanted or not…

It has come to our knowledge that some time ago our brave allies in the East have fallen due some great incursion of the unnatural forces. Refugees from Kislev have started to show in the daily view of our mighty city and should they come in even greater number I would begin to doubt that there’s an invasion going on in Kislev. We live in troubled times my dear readers. Let us all pray that no harm falls upon Middenheim.

On other (though possibly related) news our associates in Altdorf tell us that Emperor Karl-Franz has held a conclave with high leaders of the world. As we heard some time ago as the beautiful Tzarina of Kislev hastily visited Middenheim two weeks ago not only local leaders but kings of faraway lands and those not of human-born were summoned.

To what purpose such meeting was gathered our intel does not tell. But these old bones make me hope it’s not a council of war…

Pyotr Mark und fräulein Gianmaria Tesoro

Throughout the world the name of Gianmaria Tesoro is praised by the cultivated elite of men. She’s the nightingale of Miragliano, the golden voiced miracle. And our very own Pyotr Mark was one of the first to welcome this princess of opera to mighty Middenheim at the ball hosted by non other than Godric von Eisbrecher.

Lady Tesoro tells us that she’s come to Middenheim to perfom to Graf Boris Todbringer himself and let us hope that this’ll lift the veil of sorrow that has darkened our beloved ruler for so long. Those of wealth and status may enjoy her performance at the Royal College of Music 4th of Sigmarzeit for she has made known to be in town only for a small period of time as she’s always wanted to where she’s not.

For those who do not possess the wisdom and knowledge in culture can be made known that Gianmaria Tesoro is a masked beauty who excels in educations and manners. She sets an example to us all as she comes from a humble family and was a student and part of various theatre troupes before she was found as a bright new star to the skies of opera. This pearls amongst women is yet to be betrothed and we and I don’t think I stretch it too much to plead you all to pray your gods that she would please our Graf and he would find his happiness again.
