Rumors that the Minister of Agriculture, Lord Magnus Grey, wished to gather citizens at the Northern Britain Counselor's Hall this past Thurday evening had been circulating all week. A large assemblage of adventurer's had congregated at the Hall by 8 o'clock eagerly awaiting the Minister.

Upon his arrival, Lord Grey said that he wished us to get to know Britain better, and thus set us on an errand to find a specific location within the city. He said the first clue would be in front of the Sorcerer's Delight to the south. There we found a sepia hued lantern with the engraving 'Southeast of me'. The lanterns eventually led us to the guard barracks just north of the Unicorn's Horn tavern. Minister Grey was waiting on the roof.

Once everyone had arrived, Lord Grey announced that he was not the new Minister of Agriculture at all, but was, in fact, the Royal Spymaster. He had led us to this rooftop because he wished to recruit a new generation of operatives...and we were to be his trainees. He said that Britannia needed protecting and that this was a way for us to contribute. I was not alone in my skepticism as to why a 'spymaster' would reveal himself so publicly, and several wondered for who he was spying.

Without answering any overtly personal questions, Spymaster Grey informed us that he wished to test our creativity, deduction, and problem solving skills. He handed each of us a book with a brief description of a fictional event and a list of evidence that we needed to gather and separate into bags for motive, weapon, tools of escape, and location the criminal escaped to. We were then to present the bags to him at a location that would be deduced from the items. (A copy of this book may be found in the Luna white box in the Library of Sosaria.)

The criminal had escaped to the Ye Olde Winery in Yew, and there Lord Grey awaited us. The first three to present him their bags were Striker of the Dragons of Honor, Loki Bhey of the Yew Archers, and Madman. They were promoted in 'rank' and given access to a secret lair where they had their names engraved on a commemorative kryss.

Spymaster Grey will hold another training session this Tuesday, February the 24th, at 8pm CST starting at the Northern Britain Counselor's Hall.

Some say that a spy is a patriot who sacrifices a normal life to do what it takes to ensure the safety of his kingdom... Others, however, believe that a spy is a criminal who has been sanctioned by a dishonorable government. On whom will these new spies inform...and to whom?
