Tensions between [[Wicrose]] and [[Westgard]] have led to [[/Astrumese Succession War/|war]].

===The formation of the Kingdom of Thulsoma===
+
* [[Luria Nova]] has emerged as a victor in the war against [[D'Hara]], nearly pushing it out of its birthplace. For now, the Nebel island is split between the two realms.
−
Thulsoma kingdom formed in Storms keep. After braving the monsters a small group of intrepid nobles have completed an impossible journey in the dead of winter with nearly no gold or troops. King Glaumring Apasurain was crowned and each of his men swore their oaths upon the star disc in the courtyard of the fortress. No celebrations or fancy coronation was planned. The king and his men went straight back to work building a brick wall.  
+
* [[D'Hara]] has increased its grip on the eastern coast of the Occidens and even recolonized [[Golden Farrow]]. An attempt to find safe farm lands on [[Dwilight/Toprak_Minor|Toprak]] proved [[Luria Nova]] a greater threat than the monsters in the west.
 +
* [[Tol Goldora]] is expanding into ancient [[Morek]] lands.
 +
* The alliance of [[Avenor]] and [[Westgard]] have increased their hold on the Upper Occidens.
 +
* [[Swordfell]] has expanded into the [[Dwilight/Divide_Mountains|Divide Mountains]] and around the [[Dwilight/Unterlands|Unterlands]]. It is also in a federation with [[Luria Nova]].

===Victory For Virovene and the End of an Empire===
+
==Realms==
−
The War of Secession ended after a long siege by Virovene of Springdale's capital fortress of [[Nifelhold]]. The stronghold held out for many months and took a tremendous effort on behalf of Virovene to control the people. Despite Virovene's military superiority, it took many attempts to gain control. The taking of Springdale's final region meant that, after its long history, the first great realm on Dwilight has been lost.

===The Formation of a Holy State===
 
−
After much planning from the followers of Sanguis Astroism, a new theocracy has been formed upon the Mimer peninsular, known as [[Corsanctum]]. It was a long held plan of the Holy Prophet and founder of the faith, [[Hossenfeffer Family/Mathurin|Mathurin Hossenfeffer]], to create this new realm as a lynchpin and centre for the whole faith. Sanguis Astroism is one of the largest religions on the continent, and also has the most theocracies dedicated to its worship. It is hoped to become a centre for worship to the Bloodstars, and to be neutral ground for the other theocracies to work out their differences on neutral ground.

===Dragon Rebellion of D'Hara===
+
{{Template: Lost Realms of Dwilight}}
−
The rhetoric of this rebellion was the result of a division created in the D’Haran nobility. For several reasons unmentioned here, it was decided by the Dragon Queen Katayanna to abdicate from the throne and lead a colony effort to the mainland past Paisly. At the same time a growing lack of confidence in the sanity of the Dragon Queen, and severe mistrust in her behaviour, led to opposition among the nobles who would remain in D’Hara. After a breakdown in meaningful communication, General Cenarious maneuvered a group of disillusioned nobles into a rebellion to overthrow the Queen. The rebels stated that because the Queen was stealing gold from the realm to found the colony, enough to destroy parent realm of D'Hara, and because of the Queen's recent behaviour against a Duke of renown, they were no longer able to accept her rule. The colonists were not involved in the rebellion and were supported even after the Dragon Queen was overthrown and banned. King Cenarious took the throne of D’Hara and began ordering realm-wide repairs.

===Kaiser Cato Assassinated===
+
==Religions==
−
Whilst holding court Kaiser [[De La Fere Family/Cato|Cato De La Fere]], one of the more controversial leaders on the continent, was attacked and killed by an assassin. This was a blow to [[Virovene]]. As it is still one of the developing realms on the continent, it is unsure how the realm will withstand the death of its charismatic leader. Cato was at the head of the Wars of Secession, seceding Virovene from the former Empire of Springdale. The laiser's death was in the wake of much accusations of threats from the kaiser to other realms bordering Virovene. Although there was much speculation, with his demise the Kaiser's plans went with him to the grave. What the future holds for Virovene remains to be seen.

===Crusade for Sallowtown===

==Geography==
−
The infamous Demon of Dwilight, Lord [[Ironsides Family/Bowie|Bowie]] [[Ironsides Family|Ironsides]], has successfully launched a Crusade for the city of [[Sallowtown]] in the name of the Great Dragon Sallow. He was given the Mandate of Sallowtown by the Great Dragon himself and charged with reviving the Sallowsian culture and prominence on the continent.

By bringing civilization back to the suffering Sallowsians, and performing the necessary rituals, he has been named their Prince. With the blessings of the ancestors, he shall bring back the glory and power Sallowtown once wielded.

The D’Haran Crusaders who have participated in this noble cause deserve their due recognition. They are: Duke Hexic Jeckyl, Marquis Rathan Himoura, Dame Sorsha McDowell, Sir Gislher Ehrenstein, and Sir Carlos Francisco Torres de los Reyes. The Sallowsian Sir Kratos Wolff participated with honours. The Prophet Tenebrioun Kiri-Jolith also deserves mention for preaching the faith in the city to prepare them for their deliverance.
