Federation Falls | ||
02 November 1007 | Jadine | |
Since the beginning of the invasion of Belatuerra by the rogue forces of Daimons, Undead and Monsters, Heen has always stood against those that wish to destroy mankind, and those who do not respect the in-built right of humanity to rule this island.
The naïve nobles of Vlaanderen however, decided to betray humanity, and give their allegiance to a Daimon horde leader by the name of Arcane. After a long time of Arcane obviously being just a Daimon, wandering across the lands of Belatuerra, the people of Vlaanderen suddenly decided that he was their God, an idea that lacks not only logic, but also evidence and experience. |
Despite the warnings of Heen, that this could not be accepted, Arcane led the Vlaanderen Daimons into battle against many humans and took their regions whilst looting and pillaging where he went.
Heen decided that this Daimon needed to be destroyed, as it posed a threat to humanity. The result was that Heen broke its Federation with Sint and Vlaanderen so that it could move to eliminate this threat, and plunged into war with Vlaanderen with the intention of destroying the Daimons, and helping to liberate Vlaanderen from their grasp. It is clear however, that if any nobles from Vlaanderen fight against Heen in this war, thy will be considered an enemy of humanity also. |

Jana | ||
08 November 1007 | Jadine | |
On the 7th of November, a new person arrived in the stronghold of Tahgalez at the dead of night. It was someone that is infamous to all Judges of Belatuerra, and to many adventurers, and least of all, Summoner.
It was the adventurer Jana, who was the most wanted person on the Summoner’s list of grudges for a long time. She and a group of adventurers had given Summoner a shock and had stolen from him something he coveted most dearly. She was denied permission to find sanctuary in most realms across the island, as many realms feared the “wrath” of the Necromancers Servants, which had been |
promised to anyone who allowed her safety in their lands. Heen however, has never feared the Necromancers Servants, and was happy to give her a safe haven amongst the mass peril for a rogue peasant.
Jana arrived in secrecy and sent a private correspondence to Jadine Baraedor to ask if she could stay. Jadine, holding a grudge to all Necromancers Servants, replied immediately with the affirmative. Hopefully, Jana can continue to hamper the undead whenever possible, this time, representing Heen, the enemy of the undead everywhere!! |

New Nobles | ||
18 November 1007 | Jadine | |
The last 3 weeks have seen an influx of nobles to the realm of Heen. They have come from many different places and have vastly different experiences, but they are all welcome, as there were not even enough Knights to fill the estates of the regions of Heen before their arrival. Jadine Baraedor was the main reason for the realm of Heen gaining enough Knights to support its regions.
Thyk Whiteblood is a noble who came from the background of a commoner. He was an adventurer of Heen who has been responsible for the activation of two powerful unique items. He sold the Daimon Staff of Thunder to Valhalla, the ex-King of Vlaanderen, and the Wicked Scroll of Forbidden Knowledge to Jadine Baraedor, Arch Priestess of Heen. He became a noble of the realm of Heen and now commands a fine squad of soldiers under the banner of Latlan. He was an adventurer of Vlaanderen, but was converted by Jadine Baraedor. Amanda Deron is also a noble who came from the ranks of the adventurers of Belatuerra. Her last recommendation for nobility |
came in, and she took the chance to join the mighty realm of Heen and fight against the Daimonic realm of Vlaanderen from the ranks of the Knights, rather than the ranks of the commoners.
El Cid Rogala comes from the fallen realm of Khthon. He was recruited by Jadine Baraedor when Khthon was near to falling. She spoke to the members of the Valentic Order in Khthon and offered them a home in Heen, and El Cid has obviously taken her up on that offer. Grant Grimson and Caroline Tinsley both come from the fallen realm of Valentia. They both came following the offer of Jadine Baraedor of a home in her realm. Grant came before the fall of the Valentic Order, but when it was already a certainty, and Caroline, Haruspex Maximus of Valentia, came to join Heen when the last region of Valentia fell. Heen looks forward to a glorious future with a new crop of nobles in their ranks. The war against tyranny has new recruits. |

The Blackest Day | ||
26 November 1007 | <Thrydwulf | |
This evening, not too very long ago, a brave hero of Heen was slain by Improbable and his Daimon unit in the region of Naraka. All Heen is in mourning. An official message was sent to all the rulers and generals of Beluaterra from the High Marshal Thrydwulf. It reads:
Forever will we remember the battle in Naraka on the eve of the 26th November. This day will be known as Erin's Day in the realm of Heen. One man who gave his life for our realm. A man who fought to the bitter end, and such a bitter end it is. Many of you have suffered losses too, and now i can sympathise with you greater. Erin was my first friend in Heen, he was my first liege and almost like a father where mine was so far away and the brother my real one could not live up to. Erin my friend, you will be remembered in my heart till the day i can join you in whatever place that may be. I know that you are listening, watching. Know that we hurt for you Erin, but your efforts to unite the people of your Celtic origins under the desert banner of Heen will never be forgotten. Your huge courage, spirit and most of all your friendship will never part from the memories of those who were blessed to have known you in your life that was taken from you so soon. Today is a black day and all of Heen is in mourning." |
As the news spread, the Heenites encircled Erin and began to express their thoughts: (here follows roleplays regarding Erin's death)
