Ten years ago . . . Luciole inventor Climus Lilly studied under the Bāhira for years before returning to the Luciole Ltd., swiftly patenting several formerly Bāhira traditional medicinal techniques and medical equipment. Court disputes between the two parties are on-going. 

One Hundred years ago . . . Select members of The Gilded host an open forum for citizens on the first full moon to ask questions, give suggestions on what citizens need, and submit lists of what can be improved.

One Hundred Twenty-five years ago… Today marks the anniversary of the infamous Weatherglass Widow heist, the last of the confirmed heists by Auxientia’s greatest thief, Sam Flywheel. Even though the Weatherglass Widow heist is the last and most famous of the heists, where the notorious thief posed as a butler for said widow for three months before robbing her of several valuable trinkets and jewels, it was by no means the most lucrative. Rumors abound about the famous thief and due to the fact that they were never caught, only conspiracy theorists have any claim to the truth about this master caper as Auxientian Police still have the records on the case locked up tight. One particularly tantalizing rumor is that Flywheel is the only thief to ever successfully infiltrate the Luciole archives, one of the most secure information depositories in the city. Of course the Board of Luciole Ltd. have refused to comment on this crime even so many years after the fact. One particularly outlandish rumor about the thief concerns the first mayor of the city and right-hand general to Auxientius, Dahura. Purported by self-styled conspiracy expert Trevor Northlight, this theory claims that instead of condemning the thief, Dahura christened them the ally of the city in celebration of their skill. Keen readers will of course note that Dahura had long passed away by the time Flywheel began their notorious heists. What is known about this thief is that they used a mirror in their work, briefly lent out by Auxientian Police to Mayor Canongrove for her summit, although no one quite knows how this mirror was used.    

One Hundred Fifty years ago … The notoriously brutal Hawkhurst gang attempts to seize control of the Catspaw Compact, but fails after the leader of the gang dies and the group falls into infighting.
