Gossips #18

(Year 234, Winter) Hello again! Here's my 18th issue with gossips from all over the nation! It's a massive picture post, so I'll try to keep my blabbering to a minimum. Grab your cup and read on!



And this time I've got plenty of royal stuff, too!

No celebrities interest me more than he royal family. I really wish they would share a bit more from their everday lives, but also, not knowing for sure keeps me busy reading the big news from those tidbits of information. 


The four children of King Tarriot and Queen Venezia are no longer so young. In fact they are all in private high schools, starting their lives outside the royal palace. And they will all grow up within a handful years! I will need to focus more on heir romantic interests!

For now, their feetime interests are easier to spot. Some are expected - I mean, a royal knowing how to ride a horse might be obligatory, but four persons ought to have different personal interests, too.  


This Summer HRH Prince Bazil (21) won the bi-annual Queen Evez Championship. The well known charity arrangement where both hats and punch bowls are big, looks like a fun event, although I never was admitted access. You must be of aristocracy to join. A member of the royal family will normally be among the 10 contendeers, this year it was Prince Bazil. I think he surprised most by winning. He is studying at a boarding school in Windenburg, but I don't think that school keeps a horse. So, he must have learned horse riding at the royal stable, at some time.

Social season closed with the traditional Mazaloom Ball, taking place in the throne room of the royal palace.


This year HRH Queen Venezia (58) wore a purple silk dress, looking quite good on her. The blue sash signalizing that she is a knight of the Royal Order, which is closely tied with the Royal Chamber, where she has observing satus, only.

Behind her we see HRH Crown Princess Emireza (23), wearing a pink dress - and no tiara as she is unmarried. As a future monarch, also the Crown Princess is a knight of the Royal Order. I'm totally excited knowing that she will grw up in only two years!

Now, a line or two about HH Prince Ace:


Prince Ace (57) is a member of the royal family, despite being only 2nd cousin to King Tarriot. Perhaps he is better known from his marriage to pop star Suzy Sushi. Occasionally Prince Ace take on community engagement, but he is not on the official pay roll. Recently he was seen in Gibbi Point carrying a book. I suspect he was heading for a nightly festival, but the Royal Palace Office (RPO) has not yet responded to my inquery. Carrying a book like that might hint about him reading to others? A book about singing birds and hatching eggs? This kept me awake for several nights... 

Also HRM King Tarriot (66) was observed in Gibbi Point lately.


An anonymous fan sent me the above picture, stating that «he visited afer dark to practice diving, and did not know that I was sitting in a tree top with my camera». King Tarriot looks like a rather elegant diver, we knew he is talented in many sports, but is diving really his field?

Over in Chestnut Ridge lives one of the «scandal princesses».


Princess Hortenzia (60) was observed hunting Count Chander (59) of Advorton, who is practically her neighbor. The one sending me this photo said nothing about why she would do such a thing, or how it ended. Were these fine neighbors just having some fun?

Finally, the rumors that HH Princess Evendice (28) is actually dating Mr Robin Hump (27) has not coolede down after the following picture!


They are both in their final university term, staying together in a private dorm provided by the Duke of Rossie. This rumor is causing some buzz, not the least because Robin Hump is nowhere near the princess' rank. Also, he is son of divorced parents; Dr. Nivert Hump (House of Hump) and Elvy Ross (who's 2nd husband is Lord Bennet Ross, of House of Ross), which unfortunately places Robin in the lowest level of aristocracy. A princess will definitely go higher. I think I should try to find out how their chemestry works...

Now, over to region Windenburg!


The Royal Ball that each year closes the Social Season, never was open to the general press. Normally just one or two journalists might get access to the Mazallom Grand Hall where guests arrive. However, this year someone sent me a couple photos they were probably not allowed to share. 


You already saw the one of Queen Venezia inside the Throne Room, which is where they dance and mingle after the gala dinner. Above you get a couple from Nordhaven, Mrs Lissie Hyggeloth (74) and her son-in-law Marvin R. Hyggeloth (67). She is in fact Head of the only aristocratic House in Nordhaven, but she is even better known for leading the Nordhaven Craft School. Marvin is married to her daugher. He formerly resided in Gloomville a bit farther south. He is into politics (LEFT party), and is now running for Nordhaven Mayor.

And, how about some rumors involving the Bjergsens?


It's been a while since Bjorn Bjegsen (78) divorced, and recently daughter Sofia (39) moved into the socalled Lighthouse with her family. She is married to Emerson Rosewood (41), and they have two children. Emerson is brother of Duchess Mandy von Windenburg, but their origin is Oasis Springs. Sofia and Emerson spent several years in Evergreen Harbor, but are now set to take over the Bjergsen family home. My trusted source says that Bjorn Bjergsen is about to move in with his first partner, Liss Lenger (67) at Gammelvik in Nordhaven. They were never married, but had a son before Bjorn married Clara Gobelin back in the days. That son is of course a YA by now,

Now; Rossie!


And right now, someone should indeed stop me, because I don't have the faintest idea about what those women of Henford-on-Bagley were discussing.


I simply got a hint that the local ex-Mayor Lavina Chopra was instructiong shopkeeper Kim Goldberg to pay better atention to the customer - me, right here in the backgound. I think it must be a joke, I know I did complain a few times when Goldbloom ran off to greet someone outside her stall once she sees me, but well... I don't mind waiting... a minute or two.

A real rumor, though, involves the clairvoyant Mrs Tulsa Cracrow:


Tulsa Cracrow (71) makes a living from harvesting mushrooms, she also grows some at her Cracrow Cottage at Finchwick in Henford-on-Bagley. Now I heard she also offer secret dinners where paranormal ceanses are the main dish. Hm, I always thought there was something special with that woman!

Now, let's head over to one of my favorite regions!


Tredony includes the hot spot for movie and music production, and many celebrities either work or reside there.


And one of the real hot spots is Plumbob Pictures Studio, located at Starlight Boulevard. This is where the film industry was born about 50 years ago. The original studio is no longer used for sets, but is where the glamorous stars gather. They now even got their own bowling lounge in he basement, a glamorous venue where they probably consume more sparkling nectars than bowling shoes, and where Judith Ward is said to have an area dedicated to herself only. I never got access because you need real celebrity status to visit.

Above is Diego Lobo from San Myshuno, more about him further down.

A true local is global star Thorne Bailey (54).


Thorn recently guested the popular Simmerville Show (#8), that you can watch right here. There has been quite a few critical comments to his appearance, as he mainly focused on his own body. Some claim he is not a good role model to his fans.

Another not-so-great-role-model is King Tarriot's halfsister Amalia Hoffstar...


Her upgrowing at the royal palace was obviously not easy, with both parents dead and constant focus on her lack of manners. Today Baroness Amalia de Vert (33) has stepped up, but she still makes a few headlines. Pictured above she and her hubby Mr Robbiam arrived the Grand Ball. They reside in Tartosa and have 2 kids, but the child not in line to her barony was sent away to be fostered by a distant relative in San Myshuno. It is said that Amalia dislikes children too much to raise more than one of her own!

Being the mother to five, it's very hard for me to relate...

Before leaving region Tredony, someone sent me this picture:


They think the woman with a hat is Arnessa Thebe (84), serving as Housekeeper at House de Luminoso in Tartosa. Here she was observed wading in Gibbi Point, a bit farther south. The man walking next to her was not identified. Arnessa has relatives near by, at Jellyfish Junction, Marenia (Guppy) Bailey is her niece, caretaker at Jellyfish Jubilee owned by the Aarbyville dukedom.

Let's move on...


In Copperdale we find several familiar names...


Actress Fedibeth Tapper (54) had her great comeback this Fall, starring in the movie «My Late Sister in Ravenwood» produced by Plumbob Pictures. From what I heard, the film sold quite well and received good reviews. It will be interesting to see how high it can go on this year's Top 10 Film & TV productions. We won't know until next year.

Another successful Copperdale local won the annual bowling cup.


Bianca Sterner (59) won gold, while silver and bronze were won by contenders from the same household in Brindleton Bay. Bianca is known from politics (LEFT party), currently having a seat of Ministry of Science & Education. But she is also the busiest jewellery crafter in Copperdale. Rumors have is she wants to register 3 apartments for renters, all in her owned building where she also run a small Jewellery work shop. She might plan to step back from her political engagements, making a living as Landlord instead. Not running for the upcoming election might be a hint. Unfortunately such rental units were paused due to bug security, but there might be an opening next year.

Now, to another favorite region of mine:


Diego Lobo () won an award for his latest ar project, «Silence of Cross Streets».


The project was displayed outdoors at Spice Market in San Myshuno. A paper box was installed next to a busy street cross, and pedesterians were encouraged to step inside to find silence. Lobo has explained that the idea of the project was not the street cross itself, but all the thughts a person will think before, during and after entering the box, to find there would never be silence, and for how much longer should I wait?

Another well known person of San Myshuno is Duchess Gloria of Meadows: 


Lately, Duchess Gloria (78) was observed with her grown up daughter, Lady Corva (28), at the Sandtrap Crafts Market in Oasis Springs. The two women visited the market to buy some jewellery, but found that there were no such offers. So, perhaps they should conact the owner (Mrs N. Greco Master Bedrock) to suggest an upgrade? Lady Corva is currently a senior students at Foxbury Institute, Britechester.

Two other university students finally took a huge step forward:


Baron Rainert of Myshuno (32) and Ms Valeria Phlum (31) are engaged! After several years of dating, the couple are now planning a wedding next Summer. Baron Rainert graduated this Summer and moved back to San Myshuno to start a Military career, and next year Valerio will join him, as they bring on the old House of Thebe.

Over to Uptown...


Son of Holly Alto, Nico Alto (29), had a relation to Clara Adrian (29) for a while. At least I thought so! Nico moved to Evergreen Harbor, but it turns out Clara, who is the triplet sister to Khloe A. Mervil and Tamara A. Kessler, still lives with her elderly parents at Fashion District. Recently the two were observed at Uptown, having a rather hefty discussion. Are they no longer a couple?

Now, a quick stop to our most southern region, Aarbyville!


All disricts seem to prepare for the upcoming election. Gibbi Point got their district status only one election ago.


Their first Mayor, Mathroc Gibbi (72) is already too old for re-election. But the oldest of his three sons, Morgino Gibbi (42) now seems to take up the glove after his retiring father. They both represents the RIGHT party. The Gibbi family built their success on crystals at Crystal Valley.

Now, on to region Advorton...


In Oasis Springs it seems like the Landgraab household has embraced the diving board! 


Elderly Mr Malcolm Landgraab (81) might not be the most acive, but the twin sons Buffrey and Geophold (15) have beed reported to spend hours at their heart shaped pool. Will we see them at the national diving contest? They are too young atm, but eventually? Good for them that Winter is mild in their district! 

Over in Chestnut Ridge the native Amalie Chestnut (74) had a royal customer recently! 


She sells crafted pottery at the local community center, the Horseshoe pub. Traditionally, the Chestnut tribe never glaze their pottery goods. It makes them stand out a bit from what is crafted elsewhere in our nation. It might also mean these pots break more easily, but the quality can still be good.

And, the customer was Prince Ace, wearing a black suit. Story says does not reveal what he purchased.

Now, let's end this long hunt for gossips in region Gloom!


The highest nobility of region Gloom is the Duke de Cavalier (Brindleton).


This year Duke Charlopold (43) and Duchess Luna (43) de Cavalier attended the grand ball event in the royal palace. They had two babies recently, and probably focused more on their new family, so this might be their first time a this event together. Luna is wearing the The Coldine Emely Parure that was crafted just after the Medieval era. And it suits her well!

And now from Simmerville Studio, that are located in Gloomville.


This Fall they announced their line up for this Winter season, and I'm not the only one noticing a change or a miss. According to theor press conference Khloe A. Mervil (29) was announced as hosting their new TV series «Churches - Top to Toe». But according to Simmerville Studio's webpage, her series was called «Royal Estates»!  


The two titles are so different that it is not just about a smaller adjustment. It gives me hopes that we will actually be invited into the finer estates at some point. Could it be that both series are in production? But why would the change the plan? I'd much prefer the royal palace over a church!

In Newcrest they got a new street!!!


As seen on the Simmerville Show (#8), four builds were drastically renovated, and I must say Newcrest now have one of my favorite shopping and entertainment streets. Jazz establishment «Club High-ho» (see picures from the opening night) is probably the largest, but there is also The Eatery (with apartment on 2nd floor), two shops that might vary its offers over time (with apartment on 2nd floor), Gallery Ex-Po, Mazaloom Media, and several small cafés along the pavement.

This closes our national tour, but why not take a quick nod to our naboring nations?


King Tarriot and Queen Venezia just visited Sea kingdom.


Seeing this picture (above) makes me wonder if their King Salomar can actually be a vegetarian after all? You can see more pictures in this article, but my vegearian question will not be addressed...


In Empire of Snorthia we probably missed tons of gossips while their border was closed. But finally someone sent me the photo below.


I think it shows the birthday of the emperor's main heir, Princi-ichi Alior (26). I believe he is engaged already, possibly to a daughter of a High Priest, but if you feel like you just missed out on Mr Right, allow me to add that sources close to him, reveals that he is eve more evil than his father, Emperor Orchar.

Next time we'll have a new Prime Minister and lots of new Politicians to gossip about! Until then, take care!
