Evil Twin


In Fayren, a man was found murdered in his home. Speaking to the family and after an investigation, it has been concluded that the victim's twin brother is the one responsible. The family has gone on record saying that the victim's brother has always been jealous of him and his magical abilities.

The murderer also appeared to have performed a ritual before the actual murder. It seems that the ritual is designed to allow him to inherit his brother's powers upon his death. It is a heinous type of ritual and where the murderer learned it is anyone's guess. There are no leads at the moment on his current location, but an investigation is being carried out.



Moore's Vineyard


A new place to live in Genessia City has opened up. It is called Moore's Vineyard and while there aren't a large number of home available, they are very affordable. The only downsize, if it can be considered one, is the homes are small. Though they aren't small enough that they aren't comfy to live in.

They aren't designed for large families, but instead are designs for people that don't feel like they need anything big or spacious. There are only two types available, a one bedroom house and a two bedroom house.







The Puzzle Corner is a new section in the paper that gives its readers a chance to win prizes. There will be puzzles, brainteasers or the like listed below. Answering one will net you a prize. Only one puzzle can be solved per reader. (Just comment to the paper with your answer.)

3.) My mother purchased 100 pounds of potatoes last week, which I knew to be exactly 99% water.

After a week, drying in the sun, they had dried a little to become only 98% water.

What was the total weight of the potatoes now?


Prize: A restaurant coupon book.



4.) Which word becomes longer when you remove one of its letters?


Prize: Giftcard to Genessia Sporting Goods



5.) At a recent motorsport gathering, four proud owners were grouped together around the blue Ferrari, discussing their gleaming sports cars.

Alan was overheard bragging about his brand new silver Mercedes.

Mr Smith went to great lengths to explain to Brian, the virtues of his blue Ferrari.

Mr Wilshaw and David occasionally made eye contact.

Mr Richards showed everyone a recent photo of his red Rolls Royce.

Mr Stone listened intently while Charles went on about his green Corvette.

Who owns which car?

A new section in the paper that will probably only appear when the Horoscope writer isn't feeling lazy.
