║WHISPERS & RUMORS ═╝

 =  Could it be that this lice business was started by some competitive slaver who was trying to lower the price of House of Khon kennel girls?  Rumors of lice, of plague spreading, these may turn out to be false because the Physicians keep examining the House slaves and they all seem to be clean.  Of course, they are being dipped anyway.  Safety first!  But was it slanderous lies that started it?!

 ═ Have Northerners set sail to harass the coast and Port Cities?
   An unidentified source claims Northerners have been spotted raiding nearby Cities. Perhaps we should all be wary.

 = Can adoration of the Free go too far? Rumor has it that a certain slave is keeping cast offs of a certain Free in their kennel, though it may just be kennel-talk!

 = Slaves last seen carrying barely lit torches and heading towards a dark ally.  Screams have been heard from the same direction.  What is going on?


╔═
║NEW ARRIVALS ═╝

 = The City of Haifa welcomes back Aduvar Rivenhart, a  Metal Worker, who brings with him his slaves Jewel and Heart.


╔═
║RESIDENT SPOTLIGHT ═╝

 = This week The Herald interviewed Phaedra, restricted Red Silk, and personal slave of Ray Toxx, tavern keeper of Haifa.  She has traveled as far as Hochburg and Onli and comes to Haifa by way of a Slaver.  What she likes best about Haifa is that it is her home that has captured as piece of her heart, and also where she met her current Master.  She considers her greatest strength to be her loyalty and her attempts to always make people laugh.  She considers her special skills to be dancing and Zar, and has recently won numerous awards for either from various contests!  She considers her biggest influences to have been Phoebe and Tissia but feels everyone plays a part from past Masters to her current Owner.  Her pet peeves are dirty toes, being told she can't count, or when she is told she is skinny as it takes time to keep her figure!  She tells us her favourite thing about being a slave is pleasing her Master, being her happiest when he is happy, and that she is simply, "I'm a tasta loving, bouncy, happy slave that misses swinging her switch around. Though I'm sure the girls don't miss it so much."  Thank you Phaedra!

~Would you like to be featured here? Please let us know and we will schedule an interview!

The first line is written left to right, the second, right to left, the third, left to right, and so on.

Haifans tip the Docks at Asperiche

The weight of 9 Haifans we felt at the Dance Competition at Asperiche.  This excellent event is held in both Sunrise and Sunset editions often at their Home Stone.  We had two kaijrae participating in this month's event, including Phaedra and Rosita.  Phaedra danced in a pleasing enough manner to be awarded 2nd place.  If she wins any more awards her kennel cage will collapse from the weight of her trophies.  All girls at the event danced well enough to please the free.

Koardan, Ray - Maser of Phaedra, and Marl look on with the Haifa Kajira
waiting for our turn to take the sands.

Haifans watch our Rosita perform her graduation dance for audience

Phaedra


Phaedra brings her skills to the sand before the judges
Her amazing performance earned her 2nd place.
Phaedra rises on dainty feet with a dancers grace, shapely limbs swaying seductively, pirouetting before knees buckle, smooth leg perfectly pointed jutting out to the side while submissively bending forward. Nimble fingers unhook the metal chain that encompass a slender waist letting elegant silks cascade to the ground. Thighs closing tight against her own want and desire, leaning back a wet moist tongue peaks out, licking inviting lips. "Please!" she cries out humbly in sheer desperation scanning the tavern once more. Forcing herself up tall, eyes close tight as bare toes drag through the sand.

Phaedra's naked form sinks down to all fours, head hung low as desperate hands grip the tawny sands, propelling a humble, cowering body forward, every last ounce of pride stripped away like the discarded silks only one thing remains. Lifting up, arms beseeching calling out, offering up the lowly slave. "I beg to please!" Shaken hands reach up clasping the sheer veil still infused with the masculine scent, ripping it roughly and discarding it to the side like the last of her inhibitions.

Rosita



Rosita drapes the sands with her exquisite beauty in the morning air
Rosita's body writhes as cupful is heightened. Intent glare of conviction, deliriously bestowed in his direction, as tempestuous rhythms tip ruby hued contents in soft ripples across heat blushed skin. Droplets catch to gather, pooling in disguised crevices of humming flesh. White silks blossoming rose from seductive streams.

Rosita leans forward, abdomen pulsating as craving's leash tightens. Cup falling between widely parted thighs, lithe limbs extend pro-offering sweetened tastings of slave's slickened pelt.

Rosita's quivering form languidly spills before him. Provocative smile crossing charged distances as sinful glide of sodden fabrics clutched delicately in purposeful grasp, expose remaining barriers of cravings.

Sold!

Storm finds Tissia

The girl Tissia danced so well one of the warriors of Port Haifa spotted her among the crowd.  Having earned a heavy purse of coin from his battles, he took his business to the house of Khon.
Storm: "You run a fine school here, and I have come to love calling here home and I serve it proudly. "pulls a coin from the pouch, the gold of it glittering in the sunlight* "this is my offer, whatever difference you feel is needed, put toward the running of this fine city." *looks at her again* In truth, slaver, to me, she has become priceless"5th day of the 5th passage hand, in the year of the Priest-Kings  CA 10164

A master considers the beauty in the sands

This one was honored to submit to Storm, warrior of Port Haifa


Her old House of Khon collar was broken off, Storm's personal steel took it's place

Friends looked on while Koardan collected the coin for the House, and Phaedra fought back tears for her friend.

Graduation - August '13

On that The 5th day of the 5th passage hand, in the year of the Priest-Kings 10164 CA another graduation ceremony was held at our Academy.

New graduates emerge most months at Port Haifa.  The batch for August included the fine Kajira. Part of their requirement is to dance for the free with a specially written graduation dance.  The team at Haifa captured the event to share their work with you.
