1377 DR Elient Coup of Westgate

Oh I got my hands on a Westgate chapbook recently. Here is an interesting extract
from it:
''
The Elient Coup of 1377 DR
Hail Readers! Are you enjoying living under a monarch again? Too early to tell?
It is I! Jester Sancho of the Blue Ribbons. Does the new king need a jester I wonder?
Should I offer my services?
Well, by all accounts King is an affable enough young man. Born on the wrong side of the
bedsheets, the son of Arguant Thavalar and some barbarian wench. But is he the true power 
here? We all know the Merchant Nebulus right? The Rascal they used to call him! The purveyor
of many a mysterious pie! The seller of wooden-teethed horses! How is the man that would sell 
his own grandmother for two coppers now the Prime Minister of Westgate?
Answers on a post card, addressed to wherever the Croamrach is now resting his head.
And while we are on the subject whatever happened to old Trantie? The rumours are that
the former Commander of the Watch took him down to hell and stashed him with a bevy of
succubuses. Croamrach, Commander, Crownbearer? All gone!
Gone where? Who knows? Trust the king we are told! Trust the new privy council! They
are much better than the alternative - a city run by vampires. How convienent don't you
think that for this malady a cure was so easily at hand? And don't you think that perhaps
the cure may be worse than the disease? Have you even seen a vampire? Not this jester!
But apparently the threat was so bad that a change of government was required!
And what do we now have in our city? Demons! Nightmares! Out of town Clergy! The new
mysterious Theive's Guild looking to take on the Nightmasks - the Skull Collectors -
led by that Shadowy villain Barry Shitknees!?
Who knows the truth? But we do know this - Castle Urdo was attacked by Demons. 
Castle Cormerial was attacked by Skull Collectors. The Docks is now stalked by 
creatures from our worst nightmares! If you ask me, bring back the vampires!
What next for Westgate? If you ask this innocent young Jester it is time for the
people to speak out! The nobles have thrown in their lot with the king (fearing another
visit from demons or the Skullmen no doubt!) and now it looks like we are back to
all that bother with crowns and magic swords and divine rule. Nonsense! Not everyone
may have liked old Trantie, but he had been elected, if not by the people, then at
leat by his peers. The point being he could be replaced if need be!
Well then, if a King we must have, then old Wooden-toothed Nebulas can be voted out
at least. Shall I do it, you think? I think I shall! Jester Sancho for Prime Minister!
What, what, what??!
