Itorunt Informer/December '06

1st round... god that hurts...
The Itorunt Informer
Free, although we like it when you throw money. Written by Valdid Juramona, and San Exiled, and Thray Walsh pretends to work here but doesn't really. Ichigo Kurosaki considered leaving, then decided he was too awesome.	Bringing you the best of the press from Itorunt, but missing our past editors.	November Edition

News Lies from Avamar already? It seems Avamar has decided that what the heck, no realm on this continent should be spared from libel. While the editor of this paper frankly doesn't give a hoot about Northern affairs, there are some downright lies that are insulting to the Empire of Itorunt. As follows: The Northern Alliance has already conquered the northern half of the Continent and keeps expanding, while the Southern Alliance still struggles to dominate in the southern half with their only obstacle being the once mighty Kingdom of Perdan. The Southern Alliance (semantically the Southern Federation, or SF) made peace with Perdan months ago, Itorunt first among them. That the editors of the Avamar times then see fit to publish as news that Perdan is a "barrier" to the expansion of the southern federation is laughable. Especially considering that an alliance was offered between the realms of Perdan and Itorunt. Barrier, my posterior. A reasonable question from all these would be: where is the Middle in all these? Similarly, I could ask - where is the western alliance? Or the eastern alliance? Or how about a plonked all across the continent alliance? The fact is that diplomacy is decided by the diplomats, this explains the alliances - calling it due to geographical location is folly. When will the sleeping Beauty finally awake from her stupor? And when will Avamar 1. get their facts right and 2. stop bugging everyone? --San New Guild A guild for all newspaper writers has been created in Itor Boss by the gracious Lady Valdid, sponsored by the founders of the II. This guild, the Interrealm Guild of News, is for all newspaper editors of the continent (or so I believe). However, you'll have to make your way to Itor Boss, as the only guildhouse is located there. This will make for easy transfer of news across the continent. --Ichigo I'm back As it says, I decided I was too awesome to leave. ...Actually, the family emergency was resolved, and our family was able to stay. In other realm news, we're still working out our possible religion. Also, some more relevant news is to come. --Ichigo New month, off with a bang Several new pieces of news. Firstly, our army system has been a success as far as I can see - the army of Semall has been successfully integrated and I have been made marshal by the grace of Duke Robert. Also, Sir Emanuel, the Count of Zawr, announced that he has the intention to be founding Itorunt's first religious when he has gathered enough funds for the task. This is good news following concerns that Itorunt's nobles were mostly indifferent to religion. I myself have this explained by my path in the Guardians of Twilight religion, but many others have no calling whatsoever. We will keep you updated on how things turn out. --San

Comments for this month Ichigo's comments It's true, you know. I am too awesome to leave. Thray's comments None Yet (and likely to stay that way, since he's lazy) Valdid's comments None Yet San's comments We'll miss Ichigo here at the II. We wish him much happiness and lots of pie in future. Yay, I'm Marshal!
