Special Forces, Anyone?

May 26, 2008

Today, Dictator Targ'n completed construction of a new special forces recruitment center in South Bakker. The Guild already contains many of the best recruitment centers in the colonies, and the new "Tyrant's Shadow" will be an addition to that list. The men of the Tyrant's Shadow are trained by veteran members of the renowned "Silence" special forces, based in Dark Citadel. While Silence excels at both ranged and melee combat, the Tyrant's Shadow focus their skills at fighting hand-to-hand. They are lightly armored, preferring to carry little extra weight, and instead rely on their multitude of concealed weapons. The men boast a 50% training level, and 75/35 weapons armor. While nothing compared to Silence's 55% training, 85/85 weapons/armor, and 4-line range, they are still a very formidable force. I for one look forward to seeing these men on the battlefield.

Loss of Hulaferd

May 22, 2008

After five long days of looting and brutality, the region of Hulaferd was taken back under Wetham control. Civil Servants and loyal Assassins fleeing the region spoke of the extreme brutality Wetham used in subjugating their former subjects. While I hope the people of this war-torn region may soon find peace, I fear that may not be the case for a long time. The Army of the Assassins still stands strong as ever, and many battles remain to be fought on the bloodied fields of Hulaferd.

Wayward Pup Fetches Much Appreciation

May 05, 2008

A pup of the hounds of Garm, no doubt a straggler from the joint attack against Wetham by the Assassins and Outer Tilog, was recently reported as having been spotted in South Bakker by some of the locals. When approached by a delegation of the Assassins the pup was found defending a small village on the eastermost part of South Bakker from a small batch of bandits. The bandits, who had been fending off the pup for hours, losing a steady stream of men in the process, were said to have begged to be allowed to to leave and never return. Rumors state that General Evil Revan himself has made indications of keeping the pup.

Road To Lukon

May 04, 2008

Recently it was announced that a small delegation of our nobles were planning to make their way to Lukon. This morning those nobles, which include Lu che Barrow, Gaby Icemea, Zakran Somra, and Ren Struthionis, set off on their journey. Their path makes it's way through Corali forest, which has been heavily guarded by Wetham in the past few weeks. As the delegation is unarmed and bearing no malice, any aggressive motions by Wetham could be considered an act of war towards Lukon, and of intended resumed hostilities towards Assassins. As strained as diplomatic relations have been in this part of the colonies, this passage is marked with noted interest and assuredly with more than a little concern. Let us wish our comrades a safe and fruitful endeavor.

First Issue!

May 03, 2008

Today marks the founding of the Dark Citadel Times. In your hands you hold the first of what hopefully will be many stimulating collections of news. The DCT was first conceived of many years ago, and while resources were laid out to begin this venture it was unfortunately abandoned. It is believed the persons who worked on this paper before met some terrible accident, perhaps to Orcs or Wethamites. After this disappearance the printing equipment and resources of the DCT were left to fallow in it's now-abandoned studio. At Lord Targ'n's insistence the project has been picked up again- this time hopefully with a more favorable end result.
