Heard in Haven: January 1998Title: Arrivals News travels quickly in the city of Haven--broadcast by heralds and rumor-mongers alike. For, although important diplomats and ambassadors are a common enough occurrence in the one city where races and factions may mingle freely, royalty is not. The Empyreal Emperor arrived in Haven only days ago, despite his failing health. Some say he risked the journey to seek a "miracle-cure" from the healers of Delphi--others claim he wishes to help choose a new candidate for the throne. It is common knowledge that the Empyreans are currently stuck without a suitable replacement, should their Emperor depart this world. And that is only a matter of time. The Emperor is not the only one to grace the city with his presence. Khalid Atar, the "god-king" of the Varati, has also appeared within Haven's walls, despite the current tension between his race and the Empyreans. Gossip on the street has it that he's even been seen in some of the lower-class establishments, though why a living deity would wish to mix with outcasts and mongrels is anyone's guess. Also arrived is the decemvir of Atlantis, Orman Kai. Recently appointed as an ambassador to Haven, he currently resides in the Korallion and is receiving visitors. Just what this influx of kings, emperors, and gods entails remains to be seen.
