News A Change of Scenery As you should know if you've taken a look at your maps recently, last week saw a few final changes to the southern realms' borders. Scio was finally ceded to Yssaria, finishing the land exchange required in the treaty, then just a few days later the final region in the slightly complicated region trades arranged between Itorunt and Ibladesh, Betholm, was also transferred to it's new home. As Valdid comments, I, Thray Walsh, was named the new count of Betholm and have begun the work of transitioning the populace into the Itoruntian lifestyle. Unavoidably, there were some small grumblings and a few unidentified persons even stenciled, "Ibladesh 4 Lyfe!" into the palisade, which will need to be remodeled a bit. Though the peasants that did it obviously have only a limited literacy, given the terrible grammar and misspellings in the message, it is somewhat impressive that they actually carved 15-foot letters into the stone over night -that takes some gusto! All said, though, there should be a rather smooth transition. Betholm is quite close to my native Enubec so I am already acquainted with many of the merchants, artisans and village mayors of the area. The New Year We at the Itorunt Informer wish you all a happy new year. It has been a year since our first issue, so this is an especially significant occasion for us. We have some news for you regarding our new religion (Thray, that's your cue). We hope you all enjoyed this past year, and hope you enjoy this coming one. Drink to your health and for the anniversary of the II's first publication! --Ichigo
