IMiA Rumors 2005:Evelyn
Several groups of professional animal handlers from the Circus Extremus have been sighted in the lower quarters of Amber port. The handlers are reported to be sporting large billhooks, carrying large slabs of raw meat and have only been spotted in the wee hours of the morning. While the management of the Circus was unwilling to comment on these incidents, speculation is rampant about what escaped and when from the Circus' rather unique menagerie.
Before his death, Bishop Morgan was investigating evidence of an age-old scandal and widespread conspiracy within the Church.
Ethan The Toy Maker is holding a contest to celebrate his return to the Eternal City and the re-opening of his shop. The contest will include magical clockwork items as prizes.

An earthquake shook a small fishing village recently. A nearby country manor was destroyed and a lake now stands in its place.
The Alchemist has discovered that the giant eels recently plaguing portions of the harbor have certain properties that may be used to increase stamina and performance. The Fog has tasked his agents to smuggle more giant eels to Amber.
The members of the Tower are growing increasingly concerned about the security of the Realm. The incidents at Arbor House and Wessons Pub trouble them and they are worried about the continued absence of King Oberon.
The ghost of Prince Edmund has been particularly active of late. It is said to have killed several blackguards recently.
The Admiralty is growing increasingly concerned about troubles in Golden Circle waters and King Oberons continued absence.
This season's fashion statement among the young well-to-do ladies of Amber is a black rose. Hematite, black onyx and black jade is in short supply as Amber jewelry artisans struggle to keep up with the demand. Princess Florimel, herself, has been seen sporting a small black diamond ring delicately carved in the shape of rose. The less aristocratic ladies are echoing this trend in hats, hair accessories and corsages of aromatic black paper roses.
The Rangers are encountering increasing threats closer to Amber.
Prince Brand was involved in a battle in Southside during Carnival. He left his five opponents dead.
Major Chantris has been seen throughout the kingdom following sightings of the Unicorn.
Before his death, Bishop Morgan was researching the Royal Family. He was investigating instances of Royal bastards such as Prince Randoms son, Martin of Rebma, Prince Corwins rumored son Rhys, and Prince Bleys alleged bastards at the House of Flowers.

Prince Bleys and Prince Eric have been making most of the decisions at the palace. Tensions are growing ever higher between the two princes every day.
The swordsman Harrek has been very busy protecting the residents of Southside as the ongoing war between Crime Lords grows increasingly out of hand in King Oberons absence.
Reported sightings of the elusive Frog-boy have reached fever pitch and the City Watch is reporting that it is unlikely that one being could be responsible for all of the damage charges and eyewitness accounts that are now flooding the Watch offices. Rumors are now suggesting that there might be more than one of these benighted creatures.
Phillip made a deal with the Duke of Feldane to acquire Moorefield, a small estate in Feldane, where Juliana lived during her first marriage. The property is said to be haunted.
Queen Clarissas children have been frequenting the Tower with some regularity of late.
Unusual tracks have been reported on the rooftops of the townhouses of several prominent members of the lesser nobility. The tracks are said to show some signs of both hoof and talon. Speculation is rife that Prince Caine's supposed breeding project may be bearing rogue fruit.
A séance being held at the home of Mdm. DeCheney's on Norres Street ended badly with several guests being injured in what is reported to have been a 'hasty retreat.' The cause of the retreat is alleged to be the actual appearance of Mdm. DeCheney deceased husband, Mssr. Richaud DeCheney. While Mdm. DeCheney has engaged in several attempts to contact her ex-spouse in the past decade, and has indeed claimed success on numerous occasions, Mdm. DeCheney's subsequent retirement due to 'nervous vapors' perhaps speaks otherwise.
A particularly dangerous form of counterfeiting has plagued the merchants of Denning Plaza. Several of the shops have taken severe fire damage as coins taken sometime during the day's commerce have self-ignited while within safe-boxes, registers and cash drawers causing significant loss of revenue and collateral damage. As yet only a very few unfortunates have been injured, but the Plaza has been closed pending investigation for the safety of its merchants and customers.
Ethan The Toy Maker returned to the Eternal City not to celebrate Carnival as he claimed, but because he discovered that one of his clockwork creations had escaped his workshop and was prowling the streets terrorizing the locals.

Sinister supernatural forces abducted the artist girl.
Max has been lobbying mages across the Eternal City.
