SUICIDE OF THE DISHONORABLE BRAYDON PARX
By Trenton Childs, Publisher and Editor of the Tyros Times
*************************************************
Braydon Parx a member of the blue caste of Tyros committed suicide, the last dishonorable act in a trail of dishonor that started with the fraudulent filling of a doctored free companionship paper, and ended at the bottom of a cliff. The man, if one can call someone who acts with such dishonor a man, entered quickly into a free companionship with fellow scribe Barbi Sciarri. While we can debate the proper amount of time one should court before a companionship, no one can debate that falsifying documents and fraud is ever proper.
The crux of the fraud lay in the altering of key terms at the end of the contract. The Tyros Times acquired copies of the unaltered and altered documents. These excerpts show the fraud.
Actual Document:
“All properties of Both parties are to Be Held with in their respective rights of Ownership i.e property, houses ,apartments, slaves , gold ,silver, gems or jewels, shall be jointly owned.
~It is understood by both parties that Lady Barbi Sciarri will remain in Tyros with her companion Braydon Parx.”
Fraudulent Document:
“It is understood by both parties that Lady Barbi Sciarri will remain in Tyros with her companion Braydon Parx. The following terms have been established under the initiation of this Free Companionship contract, Lady Barbi is hearby forbidden to leave the gates of Tyros without the escort of her companion Sir B.Parx or by someone that has been given full permission and authority to take his companion from the city by Sir B.Parx. Any action that B.Sciarri takes part in that can be seen as unfaithful to her beloved Braydon Parx will result in direct punishment and a possible force collaring. Jointly owned properties include all of, except, Braydon Parx's; 1. Living Quarters, 2.Furniture, 3. Possible OffSpring, 4. Entire Wealth. All secrets must be revealed to Braydon Parx, any reason to believe that B.Sciarri is hiding something can result in a trial and if found guilty will result in serious consequences. Lastly, by entering this companionship both persons invloved promise to keep each other loved and protected as long as the companionship term is valid, unless one of the above terms which has been mentioned takes place, and therefore will result in further actions being taken by Sir Braydon Parx.”
The obvious fraud was caught by Galahad Huet the Regent of Tyros. When the despicable free man brought the scroll to the Regent for his seal, he thought the terms to be quite unusual, and sought out Barbi Sciarri to confirm she had read the document before signing it. She nearly fainted when she read the terms that were added to the scroll, after she had already signed it, according to the Regent. At that point this became a legal matter for the Magistrate of Tyros. The Magistrate found Braydon Parx guilty and ordered all his property to be seized and given to Barbi Sciarri. He was then stripped of his position and ordered to the service of the Ambassador of Tyros, Ranger Flow, for rehabilitation into the blue caste. It was a more then fair sentence. Once again, showing the even handed strength and justice of the city of Tyros.
Later that night, the dishonorable man took his life by jumping from a high place, but not before he dishonored himself yet again, by professing his love for another woman, and blaming all of Tyros for his dishonor. The end of a very undistinguished life, one that will only be remembered for dishonor. The Ubar and Regent of Tyros have ordered that Braydon Parx name must never be mentioned in the city limits of Tyros.

STRANGER IN THE CAVE
By Lady Barbi Sciarri, Reporter for the Tyros Times
*************************************************
As I was taking a walk near the river one evening under the three moons, I encountered a strange and frightening apparition. As he neared me, I could make out his appearance in the moonlight...he had long, shaggy hair and beard, was dirty and shirtless, and looked disoriented. I froze. He approached me, and my fear lessened as he related his story.
It seems he had woken up in our caves, unable to recall how he got there, and barely able to speak. He was hungry and weak. I took pity on the man, and at first suggested he obtain work in the vineyards, as it was honest work, and would quickly provide him nourishment. As I watched him, I realized he was quite muscular and had the build and look of a warrior. I had a better idea.
Since I have recently come into a large sum of money, I decided to help this unfortunate man, and offer him a position as my personal guard. He accepted, and I gave him a silver coin as a retainer. He promises to groom and dress himself properly, and be available to protect me when I travel, or take moonlit walks alone. Please welcome him (Minollo Menges.) He may not be able to speak much, but my instincts tell me this man was once a great warrior.

Dear Editor:
For the last few days, I have kept my mouth shut regarding the unfortunate death of Braydon Parx but I find that I am not able to continue doing so.
The man did foolish things in his time within Tyros but he was young and did not have any male guidance. We have a city with men that should have taken the time to offer guidance.
What has infuriated me as a citizen of Tyros is that it seems to have been a double standard regarding punishment. Lady Barbi Sciarri lied upon the name of the Ubara! She was to be relieved of her duties of Assistant Magistrate and not be allowed to hold such a position until the Council felt she was worthy. I am saddened that she was allowed to become the Scribe of the Regent without learning any type of lesson. That was a lateral move from her former position. But Sir Parx was stripped of his family fortune which was the right thing to do but why did her punishment not continue?
At any rate, the man is dead and his money being used to supply the recipient with more male slaves and maybe the means to con another young man into her bed on the first night. But all are not fooled!
((OOC: The above is IC and I think this is a wonderful blog that you have created!))
