Stilver Lugrathe, Chair of the Office of Resource and Civil Management, has posted a reward of 500,000 for information leading to the capture of his daughter, Ikavelth Lugrathe, and her companion, Vitharen Undral, who the notice says left Grove Hospital before her discharge in his company and are believed to have fled south.

ORCM Concludes Faded Lands Review and Faults the Strip's Own Farmers

Spring Yr10 5745 P.M. ·Chronicle Wire Desk

The Office of Resource and Civil Management has closed its review of farming on the Faded Lands strip and concluded the ruined ground is the growers’ own fault, blaming deficiencies in land stewardship and husbandry rather than any regional cause. It again declined to declare an emergency and ordered no relief, and called the finding binding pending appeal.

ORCM Issues Public Notices for Ikavelth Lugrathe and Vitharen Undral

Spring Yr10 5745 P.M. ·Chronicle Wire Desk

The Office of Resource and Civil Management has circulated public notices for Ikavelth Lugrathe, the daughter of ORCM Chair Stilver Lugrathe, and Vitharen Undral, a Whispering Groves man named as her associate. The notices say Ms. Lugrathe is wanted for the unauthorized access of restricted civil records and the obstruction of compliance proceedings, and Mr. Undral for aiding her evasion of those proceedings, and mark both alive. Neither has been seen since Ms. Lugrathe’s hospitalisation in the spring, and the office declines to say how or when she left Grove Hospital’s care.

ORCM to Review Farming Practices on the Faded Lands Strip

Spring Yr10 5745 P.M. ·Chronicle Wire Desk

The Office of Resource and Civil Management has responded to the Faded Lands Community Board’s petition for farmer aid not with relief but with a review of the strip’s own ’land stewardship and husbandry practices.’ The office declined to declare the requested state of emergency, would not characterize the crop failures as regional, and named no farmer in its notice. The effect is to turn the strip’s growers from petitioners into the subject of an inquiry.

From the Editor

Spring Yr10 5745 P.M. ·Godfrey Ashmere, Editor

In his first signed column as Editor, Godfrey Ashmere announces that the Chronicle will stop giving space to what he dismisses as hypotheses and conspiracies, promising instead to print only what credible sources can verify. He then reassures readers that this does not mean ignoring their worries: the paper will keep its watch on the matters that trouble them, and he plugs several strong pieces coming on ’the serpent problem.’ The effect is to bury the season’s mysteries as conspiracy while folding the anti-serpent-folk framing into the reassuring language of service journalism and a coming-attractions tease.
