2. Athenian News:
DEATH PENALTIES INCREASED
Hades, in a last ditch effort to avoid the downsizing that is affecting
underworlds across the known world, has upped his death penalties a bit to
try and discourage rampant misuse of his place of business as a public
thoroughfare. One of the lesser demons of Tartarus is quoted as saying, "The
locals are taking well to the change. They liked the visitors but hated seeing
them just walk out like they owned the place."
EXPANSION COMING SOON
Keep an eye out in the near future as we expand the known world even further
and give you glimpses of glorious wonders beyond the imagination of mere
mortals! Well, we'll guarantee the first bit anyway. Keep your eyes peeled
and your wits about you!
ARENA TRAPS
A babbling crowd of onlookers sat and watched in disbelief as the local militia
worked to cut a hapless arena guard from a net placed at his post Friday.
One of the gladiators fighting a lion at the time was struck by an idea,
no small feat for one of his lack of wit. No sooner were the words out of
his mouth then they were allowing all sorts of shady characters into the
arena to do battle with tripwires and caltrops and all other manner of traps.
The crowd seems to love it.

3. Premium News:
PORTRAITS AND BODY ART
After much negotiating, the Sapphire Estate is proud to present its first
merchant! The famed portrait artist, Misa, will be making portraits for 15
lucky people who sign up for her list. Join her at 9:30pm EST on Monday,
March 19th in the Sapphire Estate Marble Lounge.
Join Ispan -- the Mistress of body art -- in the Diamond Estate! While she will not give a time or how many tattoos she will do, she does say she will visit throughout the evening of Friday, March 30th.
NITTEDAL BYGD HOME ON THE MARKET!
Yes, that's right! The abandoned two story house in the heart of beautiful
downtown Nittedal Bygd will soon be put up for sale! Deed claims will need
to be purchased from the realty offices in Athens at a price of 1250 dinars.
The home will be put up for sale sometime before March 18th in an effort
to make it fair for all interested parties. First come first serve. Good
luck!
