| Changes in Heen | |
A lot of things have changed since the last article was written for this newspaper. Firstly, the previous editor had to quit his job as he was appointed as Arch Priest of Heen, meaning he had less time to see to the newspaper - especially with all the goings on within the realm. Last month, the last of the fighting took place, and Heen finally lay claim to most of the desert lands - with Vice and VN having been destroyed, and many of the nobles seeing sense and joining the ranks of Heen. The war for the purification of Heen by the irradication of Hedonism is over - and Heen is Victorious. This should have been a time for celebrating, and helping the citizens of the Western Badlands to prosper under the unity of a single realm. Instead the realm was hurled into a deep internal "war of words" between the Marshall of the First Army of Heen, Sir Tarajist Balewind and the High Marshall Lady Martana Curs. This editor will not go into the details, but it was a pretty ugly "discussion" and Tarajist was banned for behavious unbefitting of a noble, despite many warnings from the Arch Priest. He left with the warning for Martana and Medium to watch their backs - for he would be coming back, this time with a knife in the dead of the night. However, this was not the only blow to the morale of the nobles of Heen. The High Marshall Lady Martana Curs sent a message to everyone in the realm, asking whether she should step down as the leader of the military hierachy. This was met with a chorus of "no's", but the debate was not to end there... ...for King Scion the SKilled himself informed everyone that he would be stepping down as ruler. He decided that it was time to let somebody else take his place so he could step out from the limelight and relax and enjoy life. He felt like he had accomplished all that he wanted when the dessert lands were united. So, this left the realm to find a New Ruler AND possibly a new Marshall. Martana, Mao, Wolfgang and Bayloc (don't think I missed anyone). On the election day, the votes were cast and The new Queen is Martana, with 32 % of the valid votes. These results meant that Lady Martana Curs would step down from her position as High Marshall, and become the first true Queen of Heen. This meant that a new High Marshall must be chosen. The new Queen decided to appoint the current Marshall of the Scarlet Mamluks, Thrydwulf Grancourt as the High Marshall of Heen. Subsequently, all these changes meant that a lot of things must be sorted out for the realm. The military structure has been turned upside down. Frederic was appointed as the Marshall of the First Army of Heen when Tarajist left, but with so few nobles in the realm, the whole structure must be reordered and a lot of planning must be done in order to implement a new system that will work better. This may take some time, but is already under discussion in the council. The editor is aware that this news item is rather long, and apologises. But a lot has happened in a month - and while he has tried to be concise, there is a lot to explain. |
