Reports for Amber Hills Hold


July 4th 2013

"Hoo boy, I have a lot ta tell ye today." The old auntie cackles and claps her wizened hands together. "Lots o' tidbits goin' round here. Juicy ones!"

"Her eyes twinkle and she leans forward, the rocking chair creaking with her movement. "Done hear that Steward, poor fella all put out by his wife who's been kinda cold iffin ya know what I mean. Things been bad b'tween them fer a while and didnae seem any better at tha Turn's End festival. Well, done heard that he was seen goin' from tha tavern ta tha quarters of that Sofeya gal. Also done heard he was hangin' out wit' Lendera too. I done heard that he was comin' from her quarters tha night after that. Seems he's got some other ways ta get satisfied."

"Course I also heard she's got a new locket. Saw her wearin' it on Turn's Beginnin'. Must have been from Wirnan and I heard they had some sort o' talk, so I donnae know what be goin' on wit' those two."

"Yanley done brought shame ta tha Hold." She shakes her head and tsks. "She done and gotten knocked up. Course that proves she wasn't tha barren one, but still, she shoulda known better than ta go sharin' beds with menfolk, especially dragonrider menfolk. Heard that rider is tryin' ta get her ta go to the Weyr. I says good riddance. Shame on tha hold and her family. Benaroy would have been furious."

"Oh, I heard that our Lady Holder is givin' tha old Steward's quarters ta our current Steward. Seems he ne'er took him when he moved in on account o' his bein' a bachelor at tha time."

"Looks like Fitchen and Ameala are leavin' tha Hold. Donnae know fer how long, but looks like they're goin' ta tha Weyr fer at least half a turn. He's been transferred and all that. Happens sometimes. Course, what they didnae expect was ta have one o' them Searched. Looks like Ameala will make a good candidate. I wonder iffin she'll decide to ta Stand...and iffin she'll Impress."

The old woman leans back in her chair and rocks it back and forth a few times. "Ya know, e'en wit' all his problems and all that dung he's had ta deal wit', Wirnan's still been doin' his job. He made a trip ta Hidden Meadows ta help with some issues there. Heard they had a fire and some records got burned up."

"R'member when I told ye 'bout that girl Faldrimme? She admitted some o' her dreams ta her Uncle. Well, seems she's done tha same ta her Father. Sounds like she'll be goin' ta a Weyr too. Craftin'. Wonder how that lil one will take ta tha Weyr. Dunno iffin her father be too happy 'bout it though. Least they be givin' her a chance. Heard Lord Zathris has family that'll be watchin' her and she's got a chaperone. That be tha right way ta do it!"

"Ya know them canine's that Karhal's been trainin' them canines? Lord Zathris saw tha newest litter and another new one they jus' got. Seems that canine didnae take ta anyone - til Zathris came along. Now tha Lord's been trainin' 'im - wit' Karhals' help o' course."

"Times have been interestin', that be fer certain." The old auntie nods and cracks a smile. "Donnae be afraid. I'll be here wit' more. I has eyes and ears ev'rywhere!"
