After months of speculation and whispers of strange happenings, a man claiming to be the Dragon Reborn has invaded the Stone of Tear. This paper has already reported on towns that have disclosed strange happenings like a day full of weddings, a lightning strike in a hotel, and more. There have even been rumors of Halfmen walking around.

Since the Stone fell, there have been strange happenings here in the city. On the other hand, life has gone on as normal. The fishermen are still fishing and the hawkers are still hawking their wares. The shopkeepers are still selling and the Wise Women are still healing the sick and injured.

The best thing about this so-called Dragon is that he has decreed that commoners can call nobles before a magistrate, and has finally allowed those of us who are not part of the Tairen noble houses a fair shake in this city. Maybe we will be lucky enough that he will bring even more change. There is a rumor that he has decided to send excess grain from Tear to Cairhien to help feed the people. This reporter, as a loyal Tairen, cannot condone this; but, as a human being, I have to say it is a good idea since those people might starve without it.

If this man, whoever he is, can make life better for those of us who live on the muddy streets of Tear outside the walls that the nobles built to keep us out, then I say: he is welcome to our city.
