Notice Of The Death Of Joachim Schwann

 * Honorable Townsdwellers! I deeply regret to inform you about the untimely death of Joachim Schwann, a tax-collector who had served our fair city for many years. The ceremonial cremation of his remains will take place at the end of the current month. –The City Council of the Free City of Novigrad


 * P.S. Since Joachim Schwann's family did not wish an address to be made known, please address all condolences to city hall.


 * P.P.S. Please refrain from sending letters of a derogatory nature

Beware! There's A Swindler About!

 * Fair Novigradians! Let it be known far and wide that Klaus Fetterling is a lair, a fraud and a swindler. The "miraculous hair-growing formula" he sells is nothing more than well water from the Bits dyed with a modicum of lilac extract. The only effect imbibing this concoction is likely to bring about is a debilitating case of diarrhea which will keep you running to the outhouse day and night - a fact which I had the dubious pleasure of learning through first-hand experience. Therefore, if this shameless cheat should pay a visit to your domicile, buy nothing and instead tell him to go suck down his own remedy.

Reminder!

 * Most Honorable Townspeople, please remember to warn any passers-by who might currently be found beneath your window before emptying out your chamber pots.

Stay Out Of The Sewers!

 * We would like to inform all Venerable Residents of Novigrad that last week the Temple Guard fished three bodies of the following descriptions out of the sewers: –Male, of moderate age, clad in rich apparel, with a birthmark on his upper shoulder –Female, elderly, dressed in a blue nightshirt, numerous blunt trauma wounds all over her body, –Male, young, naked, indecent tattoo on his groinal area


 * These bodies will be examined and identified by the end of the month, then cremated.


 * We would like to take this opportunity to warn our dear townsmen and women against entering the sewers. Despite continual efforts on the part of our brave Temple guard, they remain an extraordinary dangerous place.


 * –The City Council of the Free City of Novigrad

Contract Issued by the Temple Guard of the City of Novigrad

 * Fellow Followers of the Flame,


 * In recent days several officers of the Temple Guard have been ravaged to death in a most bestial manner. An investigation has been launched to look into the matter, so the perpetrator shall soon feel the iron grip of justice closing around his throat. Anyone able to help the guardsmen track down and punish this murderer - or murderers, as the case may be - is asked to report to the nearest guardpost at once. A reward is foreseen.


 * It is likewise hereby announced that any man aiding or abetting these bandits or withholding evidence regarding these crimes shall be punished by torture, imprisonment or even death.


 * -Sergeant Gilbert Witschke

Gwent: Vimme Vivaldi Cheats!

 * To all gwent players!


 * The dwarven banker Vimme Vivaldi is a villian and a cheat! Using typical nonhuman trickery, he conned his way to victory over me, then forthwith demanded I surrender my cards, without the slightest consolation or giving me the chance for a rematch!


 * Anyone tempted to play with him - resist or regret!


 * –A well-wisher

Announcement Concerning Items Of A Magic Nature

 * May the following hereby be known: The production, possession or sale of any magic items whatsoever (exempli gratia: amulets meant to bring good fortune, desire-intensifying potions, dolls used to cast curses on their likenesses, and so forth) is strictly forbidden and shall be punished with the utmost severity.


 * –His Excellency, Cyrus Engelkind Hemmelfart, Hierarch of the Eternal Fire

Warning For New Arrivals

 * Newcomers are hereby informed that in Novigrad one worships the Eternal Fire and only the Eternal Fire. The practice of any other religion will be treated as an act of heresy and punished to the full extent of the law (that is, by public incineration). Particularly forbidden is the wearing of the symbols of other deities, the conducting of rituals in their honor or the preaching of other faiths.


 * –His Excellency, Cyrus Engelkind Hemmelfart, Hierarch of the Eternal Fire

Festival Of Nilfgaardian Culture Canceled

Wanted: Hot-Burning Firewood

 * The Church of the Eternal Fire seeks to purchase firewood of the highest quality. Any man who can supply such product will not only be generously compensated, but will also aid the fight against heresy and lechery, for the wood will be used to build the pyres upon which mages and other such filth will be incinerated.


 * –His Excellency, Cyrus Engelkind Hemmelfart, Hierarch of the Eternal Fire

Portrait Artist Wanted

 * I am in need of a portrait artist to paint a likeness of my beloved daughter. This portrait is needed in order to finalize the betrothal contract in which she is to enter with a young man from Kovir. Note that the canvas should be ornamented without an exaggerated emphasis on realism, concentrating instead on bringing out my darling's character.

A Word From The Armorers' Guild

 * The armorers' guild would like to remind you of the following: –No one shall forge nor sell armor nor helmets in Novigrad unless he has first joined our ranks and proven his credentials as a master. –Members of the guild must pay two out of every hundred crowns earned to the communal fund –Any member who knowingly takes on another member's apprentice shall pay half of his earned profits to the guild –Any member caught selling iron helmets and breastplates claiming they are steel shall be stricken from the guild registry –Any member who brings a weapon to guild meetings shall pay a day's earnings to the communal fund by way of punishment

Lessons in Savoir Vivre

 * Which knife should be used when eating fish? Is it fitting for a lady to walk without hose in hot weather? Should a white wine glass be held by the stem or by the cup? Anyone aspiring to rub shoulders with Novigrad high society will receive answers to these and other similarly vexing questions for a trifling fee by inquiring with Count Nougatte, a world authority in matters of savoir vivre.

Beware Of Thief!

 * Sunday last someone broke into the merchant Gin Longobardi's cellar, taking out of it a barrel of triple mead. Around the time of the break-in witnesses saw a thin, bald man rolling a barrel down the street and giggling to himself. The thief was also noticed to be singing a rude song in which called himself "Odrin." If anyone knows the perpetrator's current whereabouts, they are asked to contact the injured party immediately.

Will Buy Books

 * Will purchase books. Content not important, as long as they're bound in attractive leather and have titles written in gold plate. I wish to display them in my salon in a bid to lend my domicile gravity and sophistication.


 * –Helmut Altberg, Cotton Merchant

Important!

 * Do not fondle the merchandise! Fondled goods must be purchased by the fondler!


 * The City Council of the Free City of Novigrad

 * 1 fathom = 3 ells, 1 ell = 2 feet, 1 foot = 12 inches 1 gallon = 4 quarts, 1 bushel = 8 gallons, 1 barrel = 4 bushels 1 pound = 16 ounces, 1 stone = 25 pounds, 1 hundredweight = 4 stones.


 * It is requested that all sellers and buyers use this system of measurements. Complaints concerning transactions made in other measurements will be summarily dismissed.


 * –The City Council of the Free City of Novigrad

Wanted: Triss Merigold

 * Eye-witness testimony has confirmed that Triss Merigold of Maribor, known as "The 14th of The Hill," a member of the infamous Lodge of Sorceresses, is currently in resident in our fair city. Anyone in possession of information about her place of hiding, plans or accomplices is obligated by law both divine and human to report to the nearest outpost of the Temple Guard at once. And whoever helps the witch by giving her food or shelter shall burn alongside her.

Warning!

 * To the clever fuck who's taken to relieving himself on my doorframe every night - if you're reading these words, pay attention! I've purchased a top-notch dwarven crossbow at market and am going to sit by my window, day in and day out, till the end of the world, if I have to, waiting for you to show again. So unless you want a bolt between your eyes or up your hiney, go empty your water somewhere else, you dirty hooligan!


 * –-Olbracht Viegerman, 1C Foreman's Alley
