| The End of Springdale? |
December 18, 2008 |
Today Duke Sammael Haines of Springdale declared his duchy's allegiance to Morek. This move leaves the once mighty empire of Springdale with only it's capital of Nifelhold. Surrounded now by enemies, and with little left to aid him in fighting, it looks like it might be the end of Springdale and of Emperor Neel. What started as the revolt of one duchy, has turned into the breaking of an empire. Morek has quickly become the most powerful realm on the continent.
Many questions are left. How did things turn so greatly against Neel? Why wasn't Neel simply replaced as his predecessor was? What will happen to the Order of Seven inside Morek? Today has proven a huge turning point in Dwilight's young history. |

| Everguard Rights Uprising |
December 10, 2008 |
| Shortly after nightfall today, Maximus Crusader, Knight of Ygg d'Razhuul, Everguard made a call for an uprising against the current monarchy of Everguard, his cry of rebellion beginning with these words:
People of everguard i call for arms against this goverment against this church and against our queen. For she is not our queen but a puppet of the church. There for she does not rule for the betterment of the people but for the betterment of the church.
If i am to fall people will know that freemen stood here against a tyrant.
This announcement comes within a few short hours of a ban being declared against Sir Liam of the McAhava family, who had been involved in a dispute over religious freedom and oppression with the leader of the state-supported religion of Torenism, Duke Fisc of the Arylon family. Accusations of unnoblish behaviour and forced conversions to Torenism, threats against various parties and even duels have been thrown about by the involved in this dispute for more than a week at this point.
Large forces of monsters and undead have been roaming the Everguard realm now for the same period of time, and this rebellion adds a frantic note of internal strife to an already stressed situation of survival. Indeed, of the five regions Everguard holds at this time, three have notable populations of monstrosities and barrow wights terrorizing the local serfdom and their collective strength in the realm outnumbers the Everguardian military by a ratio of almost 5:2. The situation is so dire that the serfs of one of Everguard's earliest regions, Ygg d'Razhuul, are now in a brutal state of open revolt led by rogues and firebrands. |

| More Trouble for Springdale |
November 30, 2008 |
| In the opening days of a war with Springdale on one side against Morek and the newly formed Virovene, Springdale has suffered another vital blow. With Springdale still rocking from the secession of Muspelheim that formed Virovene, another secession has struck at Springdale. When the Muspelheim and it's duchy seceded, the duchy of Aegir was cut off from the parent realm of Springdale. Duke Edward Raiva of Aegir decided to take the opportunity to carve out a realm for himself. Thus was born the new tyranny of the Raivan Empire. The small, three region realm is shielded from the parent realm of Springdale by the realm of Virovene. The combination of the two secessions has cut the number of regions controlled by Springdale in half. It is not yet known if the Raivan Empire will aide Virovene in it's struggle against Springdale. It would make good tactical sense, as the fall of Virovene would put the Raivan Empire squarely in the sights of the recovering Springdale. As more information becomes available, we'll make sure to pass it along. |

| The Northern Conflict Escalates |
November 26, 2008 |
| The Conflict in the north of Dwilight featuring Springdale and the new realm Virovene has escalated as Morek, Springdale’s southern Neighbour, entered the conflict today, vowing to protect the fledgling Theocracy from being reclaimed by Springdale, who view the recent secession as an act of open rebellion by the new Kaiser, former Duke Cato De La Fere.
Both Morek and Virovene are theocracies following the same religion, that of Sanguis Astroism, and so have much in common following their culture and day to day beliefs.
It remains to be seen if the other main theocracy dedicated to the Bloodstars, Morek’s sister realm of Astrum, will decide to go to war along with their fellow believers, or decided that they should strive toward peace, avoiding what may become a bloody conflict. |
