Grandmaster Deverka Cryfdwr Killed in Battle May 31, 2009
Lord Deverka Cryfdwr, Grandmaster of Morek, Duke of Unterstrom, was killed earlier today in a battle to defend the townsland of Nifel against an attack of foul monsters. Grandmaster Deverka was the founder of one of the first realms on Dwilight and helped to tame the wildlands and bring order to the chaos of the island after liberating Donghaiwei from the oppressive native Dwili. Under his leadership Morek prospered greatly, and became the largest realm of Dwilight, and one of the largest realms ever known anywhere. The Grandmaster's insight and wisdom will be greatly missed.

Fiduciary of Astrum 
Darfix Colonized, Niselur Founded May 24, 2009
Fifteen of us set out from Astrum, intent on colonizing the city of Darfix, lead by Lord Boreal Arakiss, the former Strategos of Astrum and former Duke of Chrysantalys. Across the mountains and plains of the north west we traveled, battling monsters and the reanimated dead along the way. We reached the the Golden City, and succeeded where so many had failed before, taking the city in the name of the Stars. We called the realm we founded Niselur, and our sponsors in Astrum and Morek along with ourselves unanimously voted our leader, Lord Boreal, King. May the city of Darfix grow and prosper, and may the red banner of Niselur fly proudly forever above the richest city in all of Dwilight.

Renegade Morekian Nobles Form Colony in Valkyrja May 14, 2009
Four renegade nobles of Morek established a colony today in the stronghold of Valkyrja. Messages from the apparent leader of the colony expedition, Theodred Hormondson, indicate that the colony was intended to provide relief and support for the Torenist realm of Everguard in their war against Astrum. The extremely ill-prepared colony expedition managed to quickly conduct a successful takeover of Valkyrja and establish the colony. However, Dame Allison Kabrinski of Morek put her name forth for the rulership of the new colony with the purpose of derailing the new colony, and allowing it to descend into anarchy and fall apart. When the takeover was competed Dame Allison emerged as the victor in the election, being immediately named the Grandmistress. Grandmistress Allison appointed herself the High Inquisitor of the realm, placed a large fine upon Sir Theodred, and threatened to ban any noble joining the colony.

Rebellion in Ordenstaat May 10, 2009
A foolish Rebellion of a wild bunch of youngster

I'm Milmice Vecchio Ratto Founder and Rightful Ruler of Ordenstaat. I write here for explain the current rebellion in Ordenstaat: Xiahou, now a former member of the Ordenstaat, claimed to have dreamed Tyr had told him that I'm not the rightful ruler of the realm. Calling me heretic, he had stirred up against us many of the younger knights of the realm, the spine of our little army. No member of the governament and no Landlord have taken part in this. All high ranking members of the realm are loyal.

After few hour the highest ranked member of the Order of St.Iestyn has accused Sir Xiahou of heresy, and stated that I'm the rightful owner of Ordnestaat and a faithful member of the Church.

I have personally asked Sir Xiahou for God's Challenge, who claims to be a skilled two handed sword master. He has not answered the challenge.

Actually we have ordered to the rebel to disperse, and fight the monster who have attacked North Ordenstaat, I really hope they understand this is a fake rebellion caused by the personal greed of an inexperienced and young knight, Xiahou, and nothing else.

Milmice Vecchio Ratto Grand Master of Ordenstaat.


attached the letter of Drystan Bellator Elder of The Order of St. Iestyn

Xiahou,

I do not know what daemons have visited you in your dreams, but I do know that the Gods do not involve themselves in the affairs of mortals. Tyr himself dictated that not gods would directly interfere in mortal matters, and He too is bound by this law.

The leadership of Ordenstaat is a matter between men, and I say that Brother Milmice and his companions are the rightful rulers of your realm, because they are the ones who carved it out of the hollow that was the West. Ordenstaat has never known any other rulers, nor men of greater faith...

To believe that you, a mere seeker of their faith, are somehow chosen by the Gods themselves is hubris to say the least. Because you are still young, you will be given one chance to correct your mistake, and if you do so swiftly then I shall request that you be forgiven for your error...


Drystan Bellator (Priest of The Order of St. Iestyn)

Brotherhood of Ordenstaat May 6, 2009
Excerpts of a leaked message concerning provisions in the Brotherhood laws relating to priests

Letter from Arden Fury
Message sent to : Confidential Recipients

Badges of the Brotherhood

Sir #####, the Brotherhood is warrior monastic in nature. To join, you must and must be able to fight with a physical weapon. To accept words as your choice of weapons would, in my opinion, be stretching the laws of the Brotherhood.

Should you really wish to join, you must consider an alternative sub class. You are now a priest. What do you feel you are capable of becoming? A priest/infiltrator, a priest/cavalier or a priest/hero? Only you will know your abilities (options). I see this not as a way out but a way in for you - into the Brotherhood. To be a Brother, you must bear arms and suffer the same hurt that we suffer before we can be brothers. Once you have proven yourself, you may return to the life of just a priest should you choose to, having thus gained our respect as a fellow combatant.

The reason why priests of ##### are not a part of the Brotherhood are as you have realised because of a question of loyalty and allegiance. The Grand Master (of the Brotherhood not the realm) is not a lifelong position. It will be rotated and thus it is a symbol of the Brotherhood and not of a person. To be a Brother, you must pledge your allegiance to the Grand Master, the symbol of the Brotherhood first and foremost. We are warrior monastic in nature. Warriors first, monastic (priests) second. Our priestly spiritual lives complement and enhance our warrior stature but we are first and foremost warriors.


This is what it means to be a Brother in the Brotherhood.

Religion of Triunism Founded May 5, 2009
A new religion was founded today in the townsland of Chesland by Lady Metis Highland. The new religion is named Triunism. Lady Metis sent the following message upon the founding:

Letter from Metis Highland
Message sent to all nobles of Terran
First Letter to Terran,

Noble brothers and sister of Terran, I give you peace and greetings. Long have we together lived through times of peace and war, bounty and famine, unity and separation. We are a family bound in blood and to each other. This is what makes us unique; this is what makes us important on Dwilight. It is this importance that led me here to perform my task and it is this importance that allowed me to succeed.

I come to you today as your sister and as a messenger. I do not come empty handed to this meeting of our hearts, I come with the light of knowledge. I came to this land when she was still virgin and the blood of our forbearers stained the fields red. I was young then but I had a passion. I was commanded by the will of my lords to serve a young knight turned king Rev Athins. I followed him as I would my Lords, to the very place we stand today. It was here we tried to forge to destinies in one, but the fates were not so accommodating. Creatures of chaos rose from the mountains and the fields to deny us our destiny. We tried to prevent their ascent into our holy city but we were defeated. The last I saw was Rev climbing the stairs to the throne room with the fury of hell licking at his feet.

Long was my sleep, I saw things of wonder and glory. Thousands of stars flashed with a thousand suns of brilliance and were suddenly swallowed by entities of unknowable blackness. Through all of this I traveled with my Lords, the Triune. They guided me and taught of the world through each of their eyes, filling me with an impossible knowledge. I cried at the feet of the brass golem, madness taking me. The Triune looked down at me, deciding that my mission was not yet complete. So they sent me back to this world to spread the knowledge I gained to my brothers and sisters. And then I awoke and found myself with you.

My mission in Terran is to spread the word of the Triune to all of you, whether you take it into your hearts or not is not my concern, I only wish to give you contrast on the background of life. That is what Triunism is, a study of how life contradicts and contrasts itself. I am not going to try to tell you how I can save your eternal souls if you just follow me, that goes against what I teach. I am not going to drill you with doctrine and ritual, only with a message and goal from my lords to you.

Mortazo wishes to profess that life is dangerous and chaotic. In order for life to be protected a Leviathan must rule over man to keep the evil out. Through law and order rested in one individual we are made safe from the anarchists and revolutionaries. The more men that power is rested in the more possibility there is for dissent and disloyalty. If an idea challenges the established order it is evil, only by standing still can we remain safe. By giving your will to the Leviathan you assure your own safety.

Blacklight wishes to profess that life is full of tyrants and power mongers. Free will and choice are the guarantied rights of all in the verse. Only by questioning and destroying authority are we safe from powers grasp. In Anarchy we must live, the ultimate form of freedom and expression. Never stand still always question and challenge, even if it destroys you.

Wurdiz wishes to profess to you that life is not black and white, but built on compromise. Absolute authority and absolute chaos only lead to damnation and death. By balancing the two we learn to live the way Space and Time envisioned us to. If we do not compromise in life and learn to accept each other’s differences, we are doomed to live apart and afraid for our own lives.

This is all I have to say to you today brothers and sisters. I thank you for lending me your ears and your hearts. The message I bring you I believe is fundamental in order to live a full life. If we adhere to a single idea we become like a blade of grass in the fields of Chesland. Would it not be better to blaze in the night like the light of the Sun?

Long Days and Pleasant Nights,
Metis Highland (Priestess of Triunism)

The Decline of Virovene May 4, 2009
Earlier today the troubled realm of Virovene established a new colony in the stronghold of Storms Keep. This marks another step in the decline of the realm of Virovene that began many weeks ago with the death of Kaiser Cato. Following his death, the realm quickly lost the new kaiser that replaced Kaiser Cato. Over the course of the next few weeks the regions of Virovene slowly began switching allegiance to Morek. And just today the region of Croton outright rebelled against Virovene and declared independence. This leaves Virovene with only their capital, the city of Muspelheim. With the formation of the new colony, rumoured to be named Thulsoma, the former High Inquisitor of Virovene has left, along with a few other nobles form Virovene. Surely Virovene can not stand much longer. They have a slowly decreasing number of nobles, they are reduced to one city, unable to produce food to feed itself, and with no prospect for expansion since they are completely surrounded by the overwhelming strength of Morek.
