Waterdeep's New Top Cop

BREAKING NEWS
"Waterdeep's New Top Cop"
Mirtul 10, 1493 DR

At her latest conference with the Scrivener's Guild, the Open Lord announced that she has accepted the resignation of Lander Hornraven, Commander of the City Watch.  Hornraven was appointed Commander of the City Watch in 1485, under the Neverember administration.

Open Lord Silverhand commented, "on behalf of all of the people of Waterdeep, I want to thank him for his service to our city. Hornraven worked hard to protect our public safety."  Hornraven stated: "It has been an honor to serve this city that I love for so many years.  Most of all, I want to thank my fellow members of the City Watch."

Later in the conference, Silverhand announced her appointment of Commander Amhgo Murphy to replace Commander Hornraven.  When questioned, Silverhand stated: "This is not in reaction to unfounded and baseless criticisms directed against the outstanding service and professionalism of our City Watch.  I want to thank Commander Hornraven again for his many years of public service.  The City, and everyone in the Palace of Waterdeep, wishes him the best in his retirement.  And I am confident that Commander Murphy will be able to pick up the torch, and build even further upon Commander Hornraven's accomplishments."

Commander Murphy thanked the Open Lord for her confidence, and announced several of his administrative priorities: "I look forward to working together with the community of Waterdeep to bring an end to the gang war, and deescalate the violence of the city.  One of my goals in this job is to build a stronger relationship between the City Watch, and the many stakeholders that have a vested interest in order and safety in our community.  Over the coming weeks, I plan to meet with these stakeholders, to develop a stronger response to crime in our city."

Commander Murphy also announced the creation of "Waterdhavians Against Skooma Proliferation," or WASP, an anti-drug program directed towards educating young Waterdhavians, and getting the highly addictive and dangerous arcane drug out of Waterdeep for good.  We hope to work with stakeholders, community leaders, and anyone who is interested in improving public safety, health, and welfare in our fair city.  I look forward to providing the public with additional information about this and other initiatives in the future."

"A Requiem for Father Earendil"

Mirtul 27, 1493 DR The Rev. Earendil Meliamne, pastor of St. Peren, Traditional Sylvan rite church and one of the best-known priests in Waterdeep, died yesterday while helping kill a vampire lurking beneath the city, church leaders reported. The death of "Father Aer," as he was known to parishioners and members of the general public, sent shock waves through the congregation and the larger religious community as word of his death spread. "It is just unbelievable. He was so healthy and robust and outgoing," said Father Laurus Amakiir, formely a parochial vicar-- who now leads St. Peren TSR in the wake of Father Earendil's passing. Amakier said Father Earendil, 645, was helping a group of local adventurers go after the "Baron of Blood"--a vampire who apparently lived in Waterdeep for centuries--but was generally considered an urban legend.  "What we know is very sketchy," he said.  "It appears that Father Earendil approached Baron Aeoth an
