NORTHERN MARKETS
Episode 36a
Going to Almony
From the newspaper, Kerning Kanko* Daily (Friday, November 16, 2007)
(…a group of students belonging to the Ellinia Institute of Knowlege and Education were arrested by a GM highway patrol outside Kerning. The students were arrested for illegal posession of memory crystals and tapes containing outlawed’ content. The students were handed over to the KCP for holding until a court date could be set after they declared sanctuary within Kerning County. Declaring sanctuary immediatly places one under the charge of the City of Kerning and the KCP and must be handed over by the GM and procesed in the local legal system.
At the press conference, KCP chief Mack stated the students admitted they ventured into the SEA Lands and Korean Lands to collect evidence of the infamous (not yet proven) magic markets and noob slave trades operating. According to the students, the markets employ various companies [some possibly operating in town] and hire parties to kidnap noobs and magicians in the Free Market and in Victoria and take them to the markets. KCP chief Mack also went on to say that the students were adventure librarians sent out by the Ellinia Library, and they were returning from the 2 year project.
GMs confiscated most of their evidence and the students have been released on conditions not to leave the city and a promise to appear in court….)
