A quiet night, it was pouring outside and the Courier lay there thinking listening to raindrop after raindrop leaking from the ceiling. Suddenly an inspiration came upon him and he would again begin to print articles and so it was...he began his work in the quiet place in home away from the rest of the Kingdom
Incident in Itor Boss leads to insults and accusations from Itorunt
Recently there have vast outbursts both against Caligus and Ibladesh from Duke Hamilton and his Regina Morgana Lefanis
Just the other day Regina Morgana ordered her troops to suicide on forces of Ibladesh and Ambassador Zoe who was leaving Caligus. Ambassador Zoe did not touch the men even though they attacked forces to stay neutral. Caligus finds this very offensive that their Ambassador was attacked by foreign troops and a leader of a nation. I dont know what the ploy of the battle was for. Either they have gone mad or they are desperately trying to seek outside help.
I am sure in the end we will find out what vile plans Itorunt has. It is unknown in what condition Regina Morgana was in when writing this message but here it is
Letter from Morgana Lefanis Message sent to the Rulers of this world (8 recipients)
Pontifex Sinted,
Were you not 4 days ago extolling your own honor and claiming that you do not care for traitors? This is a letter from your real spy in Itorunt, with whom you planned the assassination attempt on me in Itor Boss, and gained troops movements and orders from. Look what were his last words to me, before he left to join up with his Ibby friends.

Letter from Valic Schumacher
It's terribly unfortunate that the Ibbies faild to kill you in Itor Bos. I shall suceed where they failed. Didn't you ever wonder why Itorunt asaults failed? I was the spy, and i wont rest untill Itorunts dead.
Valic Schumacher (Knight of Itorunt)
The truth is out Pontifex, and it cannot be suppressed.
Good day,
Morgana Lefanis Regina of Itorunt
Twelve hours following the battle, a second message was recieved from the duke of Itorunt, Hamilton Vita, insulting the honour of Caligus.
Report from Hamilton Vita (44 minutes ago) Message sent to the Rulers of this world (9 recipients)
Esteemed Rulers of East Continent!
Today, Regina Morgana Lefanis was assaulted by a Caligan Countess, Pontifex Sinted, and an Itoruntian traitor!
First, news of the battle reports that Caligus and Ibladesh assaulted our beloved Regina in Itor Boss, a rightful region of Itorunt Duchy, with over 200 men compared to the Regina's small troop of 20. Such an unnecessary number of hostile troops for what was to be a peaceful meeting between Pontifex Sinted and Regina Morgana to discuss the reduction of disastrous looting across the regions. Instead of the two royals meeting for the beginning of talks regarding the ending of the senseless violence against the peasants, Pontifex Dacara cowardly sought to work with Itorunt traitors and Caligan backstabbers to attack our dear Regina! Who knows if they sought to capture, wound, or worse yet kill Regina Lefanis!?
I'm sure the Pontifex's mother was more manly than her cowardly excuse for a son is. Let it be noted that this author has seen the ruler flee from battle more than once.
In addition to the Pontifex's innate dishonor, she seeks to work with the even more dishonorable Caligans and those who betray their realms! The Caligan Countess, Zoe Agenor, is also a diplomat. Is it not suspicious how a Caligan diplomat(and lord) plotted with Pontifex Sinted to attack our honorable Regina? Or how someone who was a member of Itorunt only two weeks ago was part of the plot? And this same traitor dared order an attack upon the one she hailed as queen a short time ago?
Was Regina Morgana endangered? No, thank the Southern Wind! Her Royal Guard saved her life by laying down their own for their much esteemed commander! This goes to show the devotion of Itoruntians to their beloved ruler! Even as we speak, Regina Morgana Lefanis is on her way to safety.
But this does not change the facts of this event! Instead of peacefully meeting with a fellow ruler, Pontifex Dacara cowardly and dishonorably plotted with traitors and known back-stabbers alike to see Regina Morgana harmed! The Caligans involved were of even higher importance as they were lords and ambassadors. An ambassador of Caligus is engaging with Pontifex Dacara in a battle against Regina Morganis. This is an assault against royalty and fellow rulers should be highly concerned about the actions of Ibladesh's and Caligus' lack of regard for royalty, honor, or peaceful meetings between royals. Caligus and Ibladesh are indeed a threat to honorable royals everywhere! I only hope that Ibladeshians and Caligans have their beds infested by the fleas of a thousand beasts and that Ibladeshians becomes synonymous with cowardice and Caligans with betrayal.
