Osment is carted away by the haldaen, but Symphony pursues, clambering through scaffolding and roof-spanning clotheslines - only for him to leave her nothing but a gossip pamphlet. Why?

The Herald is a bonus podcast. A supplement. A treat. For fun. It is the gossip from the world of The Friar and The Thief, from our play-by-email RPG of intrigue called Thegns, where members of the Fyrd hoist their colors, invoke the names of their ancestors, and cement their legacy.
