| Religious Uprising in Helsera | September 4, 2008 |
| A religious uprising, led by Priestess and Founder of Shadowism Thyra Strongfoot, has overthrown the rogue government of Helsera and put the region under the black dagger of the Assassins. A mob of peasants, incited into a religious fervor, marched on the capital building, broke down the doors, and reportedly paraded the former government officials throughout the town - naked. None were harmed, although some may have been emotionally scarred. The officials were released afterwards, and allowed to return to their homes and families.
The road to Helsera from South Bakker is a long one, taking around five to seven days to travel. This will make holding and maintaining Helsera quite a challenge for the Assassins, even without Giblot interference. | |

| A New Friendship | September 4, 2008 |
| After a period of much diplomatic activity, the realms of Oritolon and the Assassins joined together in an alliance today. This happened shortly after the Guild broke off their old alliances with Alebad and Alowca, which by this time, were little more than words on paper.
News of this development has caused worry and unrest among the people of Wetham and Giblot, who fear they may soon be at war with one of the most powerful realms in the Colonies. | |

| The Fall of Alebad? | September 1, 2008 |
| In a great and bloody battle earlier today, Lukon and Oritolon forces managed to breach the walls of Alebad City, the capital and only remaining region of the realm of Alebad. They have made multiple attempts to breach the City's walls before, but met with little success. This time, however, Lukon and Oritolon emerged victorious, with the army of Alebad crushed. Lukon's King and General Ares Reaver was kind enough to provide a full report of the battle, which will be available in it's entirety in a later issue.
Near the beginning of the battle, it seemed as if the fight could go either way. The army of Alebad was outnumbered by around 6,000 CS, and consisted mostly of militia. However, they had the distinct advantage of being perched atop level four walls. As the battle began to unfold, things changed quickly. Alebad's army was mainly archers, while Lukon and Oritolon brought lots of infantry and siege engines. Once their soldiers had reached the top of the walls, it seemed evident who the victor would be. It is not know what lies ahead for Alebad. Will they rise up and throw back the invaders, or will they go the way of Portion? That, only time will tell. | |
