[Namron] Rumour Mongering and general bad behavior

[Romana Thiana]

Dearest Cousins, 
   
  What at a sad day for Namron today doth be.
   
  A malicious and malignant rumour regarding a certain valued member of this group hath cometh unto mine ears.  This person was made a Companion to the Order of the Sable Storm of Namron for her devotion to her office.  She didst hold this office when all else wouldst have nothing to do with it.  Many calls didst go out for a replacement, yet those calls went unheeded.  Our Lord Baron and Lady Baroness didst praise her widely and without hesitation for her accuracy, thoroughness, and timelimess in her reporting.  And Their Excellencies did holdeth her in highest esteem.
   
  Yet, the rumor is that that she didst leave the office of the treasury in a "disaster".  And that other not quite "above-board" events happened whilst she was in office.  
   
  This vicious rumor doth border upon slander.  And methinketh that the Lady in question doth have enough proof for mundane legal action.
   
  I do wonder if these kind and gentle folk have talked with the person they are vilifying to get her perspective upon this matter, before they repeat this abhorrent rumour to others?  
   
  Did Kingdom ever have to come to our Baron and Baroness because of problems with the treasury of Namron during her tenure?  No.  
   
  Has Kingdom had to do so with the current treasurer?  Yes.  And as such, his warrant was not renewed this time.  His perpetual lateness in reporting and refusal of offers of help lend itself to the perception that this barony has been in jeopardy of losing its status.
   
  And why is this vileness being spread at this time?  Could it be to help eliminate her from getting the position again?  Perhaps to promote someone else for the job? Or mayhap it do be because people just enjoy spreading "dirt", "ill will", and "licentious gossip"?
   
  In my few years in this pleasant Society, I hath never heard someone's character defamed like this Lady's without substantial proof.   
   
  These actions, in my opinion, are reprehensible.  We are a Society founded upon Chivalry and genteelness.  We are to represent ourselves and others as such.  This sort of behavior is base and foul. 
   
  Unto those Good Folk who have contributed to such feindish rumour mongoring: Shame be upon you!
   
  Unto those Good Gentles who were happily unaware of such, my most sincere and humblest apologies for wasting your band-width.
   
   
  Empassionately yours, 
   
  P
