| Man tames the West |
April 24, 2008 |
| We wander the lands in these uncharted regions, and one cannot do otherwise than think about the stories of old, the discovery of the other lands before this one, and the stories of their colonizations that serves as a lesson to us all. I have personally been on these islands, infact, I have personally served on Atamara, the South-East Island, Beluaterra, the Colonies, and back to the war islands before ending up here in Dwilight. One can think of the colonies a bit, with all these unknown lands, mysterious associations of nobles, and the rudimentary state of some things. Indeed, when I was in Springdale in it's early days, and the Caerwyn of Eildulb and our arrival in Golden Farrow, long and absurd travel times, rarity of the ressources, the overall brutality of the nobles as their ambitions clash. However, the strong do not long remain like this, and with dedication and hard work, our realms grow in ways to challenge the kingdoms of Beluaterra.
Springdale did this, in a way, though a little disturbed by poor leadership and seditious factions. Caerwyn exceeded expectations, already, we are a force to rival established powers on this continent, many large recruitment centers, magnificant palaces, our capital shines of the gold that cover it's roofs and other precious metals that compose the palace. And we think of the monsters here... A savage part to these lands, rather comparable to Beluaterra... "Me just hurt you a little bit" were the words of Big Fangs to me, as I struck down one of his critters. Monsters appear everywhere, and the weak succumb, but the strong fight back and will mold the lands as they see fit. Only time stands between the worthy of now and the mighty empires of tomorrow, empires to inspire the awe of the lands of old. |

| Madina Colony (Avenel) Destroyed |
April 18, 2008 |
| Unable to fight back the horde of monsters besieging it, the latest Madina Colony has lost control of their capital city. Chateau Saffalore declared itself independent of the young realm's control, and returned to it's rogue status. Word has reached us that the refugees from the failed colony are attempting to feel to Pian en Luries. They hope to regroup and try again. This incident is a clear warning to all nobles that the wildlands of Dwilight are a dangerous place, and not to be taken lightly |

| Avenel Independence! |
April 16, 2008 |
| Yet another realm has been born from Madina. The Monarchy Avenel is a peaceful realm located in the untamed west of Dwilight, with the capital of Chateau Saffalore. Avenel promises to be the rock of the West and there High King Sir Rev is calling all brave knights to come and fight for them. They currently are under siege by Undead swarms and Monster attacks, and though Avenel is young and is still trying to gain a firm grasp in the world they promise to rid the West of these foul beasts. Avenel looks like it will be a hot spot for young adventures with plenty of monster killing to go around and plenty of demon ridden badlands west to be explored. |

| Beasts Of The West Anger Nobles |
April 14, 2008 |
| Nobles in the newly formed Madina Colony have been fighting an uphill battle against the raging beasts of the West. Rumors of monsters having the strength of over 10 000 and Undead swarms consisting of over 300 creatures has spread to the cities. Peasants tell tales of even stronger creatures the farther West you travel. Clearly, the new Madina Colony is going to be founded on blood, both human and beast. |

| Rising Tensions in the North |
April 2, 2008 |
| Word has reached Morek of rising tensions between the young but growing monarchy of Everguard and the newly formed, but also expanding, Madina Colony. In apparent rejection of King Fisc Arylon's demands that the Madina Colony relocate to Golden Farrow, the nobles of the new colony have taken the townsland of Eidulb Outskirts. Many nobles feel that the results are almost certain to be war between the two. As events develop, it has also become known that the colony is not an official joint effort between Springdale and Madina at all. While the nobles that formed the colony have come from those two realms, King Neel Arya of Springdale has denied knowledge of the intent to form the colony. Grand Doge Abbot Nosferatus of Madina has also denied any official knowledge of or support from Madina for the colony. Grand Doge Nosferatus has, however, offered to assist in brokering peace between the colony and Everguard. With the denial of the rulers of both Springdale and Madina, it can only be assumed that Lady Lyse Chenier, who was herself banned from Springdale, either misspoke or was deliberately misleading in her statement that " The Eidulb Colony was a joint operation by the glorious and mighty realms of Madina and Springdale..." |

| Madina Forms a Colony |
March 31, 2008 |
| Nobles of Dwilight received some rather unexpected news yesterday: Madina has formed a colony in the city of Eidulb. The long journey from the city of Paisly must have passed through the rogue cities of Port Raviel and Golden Farrow. Why nobles form Madina would travel so far to establish a colony is still unknown. Many nobles feel that this maneuver is intended to occupy territory in the north to prevent the expansion of northern realms and colonies. Fisc Arylon, High King of Everguard, was seen to have commented: "It must be removed", as the realm is an incursion into territory claimed by other realms. The nobles of the colony claim that the expedition was a joint venture between Springdale and Madina. The colony is expected to Federate with Madina, and ally with Springdale. It is not yet known what stance they will take toward Morek or Everguard, but tensions with Everguard are expected to be high. |

| Rebellion in Morek! | March 29, 2008 |
| Yesterday, immediately before sunrise, Zul'Jin Stormreaver, a knight of Donghaiwei, gathered a few supporters and called for a rebellio amongst the nobility of Morek. Sir Stormreaver's major complaint was the apparent lack of organizations amongst the leadership of Morek. As evidence of his claims he refers to the lack of appointment of a Coffermaster and Ordermaster of Morek for the past two and a half weeks. Grandmaster Deverka Cryfdwr responded to this by citing problems in the administrative paperwork that preventing the appointments form being realized. (ooc: game bugs prevented appointments of council members for almost three weeks.) The rebels also cited the lack of organization and planning in Morek. Loyalists were quick to point out the complete lack of organization to the rebellion, including the rebels self-professed calling of the rebellion too early, lack of supporters, lack of troops, and some rebels not even being in the capital when the rebellion was called. | The rebels were quickly outnumbered by the loyalists. While they were able to win the initial surprise battle at the capital city of Donghaiwei with the help of some confused militia units, the army immediately returned to the capital and crushed the rebel troops in a sunset battle. As of this moment 39 nobles have declared support for the loyalists, and only 9 for the rebels. Investigation into the background of the rebels reveals that many of them had immigrated together from the realm of Ikalak, and some had hailed from other realms on what are known as the recently sunk "War Islands". It is not yet known if these nobles all came to Morek with a plan to take over a realm and make it their own, or if they merely took advantage of an opportunity. In either case, it is almost certain that the rebellion has utterly failed. The rebel forces are vastly outnumbered and more loyalist troops are on their way to the capital. As of now, Rebel Leader Zul'Jinn II along with a few of his cohorts are retreating to Bohai after being mauled in Donghaiwei and Donghai, possibly hoping to defect to Springdale. |

| Giask Revolts! |
March 10, 2008 |
| Following on the heels of the abdication of King Kaennji Shenron of Pian en Luries, the city of Giask has revolted from the control of the kingdom of Pian en Luries. It is believed that a combination of several factors contributed to this problem. First, several nobles of Pian en Luries were seen looting the city of Giask prior to its being brought under Lurian control. This must have angered the commoners of Giask, and caused resentment among the local authorities. Second, the abdication of King Shenron no doubt caused the commoners of Giask to lose faith in the ability of the Lurians to maintain control of the city. The King's failure to appoint a Duke prior to his abdication crippled the Lurian's ability to establish their own loyal local officials. Third, the rumoured colony expedition from Pian en Luries to Part Raviel would have reduced the ability of the Lurians to maintain their authority over the city, due to the lack of nobles to actively police the city. In any case, the loss of this exceptionally large and rich city will be a big setback for the Lurians. |

| Springdale forms a Colony |
March 10, 2008 |
| Word has reached Morek that the kingdom of Springdale has successfully established the first independent colony on Dwilight. The new realm, as yet unnamed, was formed in the stronghold of Valkyrja, far to the west of Springdale, by Jord Jorvik. This small island stronghold is situated on an island between the eastern and western subcontinents. No word has reached us of the form of government that will be used for the colony, or even the name under which it will be known. The new realm has attracted many nobles, with 12 having already joined in less than 2 days. |
