WELCOME TO THE TYROS TIMES
*************************************************
For far too long the people of Tyros have not had an outlet for information, news, and commentary. Beginning today the people have that outlet, the Tyros Times. A paper that will be published weekly, on Fridays, that I hope will become the voice of the people of Tyros. From the slums to the center of the city, the Tyros Times will cover it all in a fair and balanced manor. The newspaper headquarters are located in the old jailhouse building. All are welcome to stop by and chat with me, or any of the reporters and staff. There is a note card box located inside the building to leave messages for the paper, day or night. I hope that you all find value in the news and information we will provide.

A FREE WOMAN GETS HER COMEUPANCE
By Trenton Childs, Publisher and Editor of the Tyros Times
************************************************
Serena Balut formerly of Laura was forced collared this week for the brutal assault on the property of the Ubar and Ubara of Tyros. In a bizarre incident the unruly free woman maliciously attacked the slave of the Ubar and Ubara. Throwing the girl against the wall and beating her till she was near dead. All this occurred after the slaves in Serena’s presence refused to jump into tharlarion infested waters. For this “offence” the insane free woman beat the most experienced slave there for not obeying. Soon after the outrage a kill on sight order was placed on the life of Serena Balut.
Once captured the merciful Ubara Miranda Marjeta spared the worthless woman’s life and gave her the option of death or enslavement. Given this most judicial choice Serena chose submission to collar. She was then collared by the Regent of Tyros Galahad Huet, for the house of Delphis, to serve at the whim of the Ubar and Ubara. After her collaring she was dragged naked to the slums of Tyros for all to witness her branding as a slave. Though she pretended that she was fully submitted, it was obvious to all who witnessed, including your humble correspondent, that serena, as she is to be called in her slavery, did not fully realize what complete submission was till marked with the branding iron. The smell of burning flesh in the air sealed her fate as a slave, a commodity to be used, sold, or killed at the whim of the free who own her. The mark of the kef on her body finally made her realize what a mistake she made insulting the Ubar and Ubara of Tyros.
Let this be a lesson to all free that damaging and destroying the property of the Ubar Theodoric Delphis will lead to swift punishment. This is especially a good lesson for all free women. Free women are only free because free men allow them to be. Any free woman who so openly violates the laws of Tyros and the property of its leaders should be prepared for death or enslavement.

HEATHER IS CAPTURED
By Videtta Kiranov, Reporter for the Tyros Times
*********************************************
Today Heather, sister of our physician Foxxie, was brutally kidnapped by an assailant known only as Darius bodly entered the docks of the free city of Tyros. This assault happened shortly after Heather had collared a new Kajiru in the company of the Ubara Miranda, and the Scribe Videtta.
Darius approached the ladies shortly after the kajiru was captured and introduced himself only as Darius. Miranda and Videtta returned to the walls with the new Tyros kajiru while Heather stayed behind to show the stranger the city. After the other women had left Darius spoke for a bit longer with Heather and drew his sword and struck her down before the guards could come to her aid.
He worked with quick precision and dragged her abroad a boat that was waiting for him. It set sail without filing a destination with the dock master. Lady Heather was returned a short while later badly wounded. Inside sources have revealed that she was kidnapped specifically, and that Darius had been paid to do so. However, Tyros is at this time unsure of who ordered the kidnapping.
