By Lazlo Lemont II Minas Leon: Land of Opportunity! State of the Realm

After months of stability, a massive shake up occurred in the hierarchy of Minas Leon, clearly establishing our realm as one of the best realms to belong to when it comes to quick advancement. No less than SIX nobles were granted new lands in the past month. Charles Elegant, former Baron of Upper Tell, was placed in charge of Crahandan early in the month, though lingering wounds from his old injury forced him to step down again, allowing Lothair Mastersson to take his place.

By Lazlo Lemont II A New Queen For Darka, A New Step Towards Peace? Foreign News Update

Queen Nadina Vasata ascended the throne of Darka earlier this month, and comments given to The Leon's Roar have suggested that her advancement may signal a change in the long war with the Cagilan Empire. When asked whether she had any goals to lay out for her reign, Queen Nadina had this to say:

Darka is at war with many realms and I hope to bring peace in some if not all of those conflicts. The war with the Cagilan Empire has dragged on with no end in sight. Neither side has been able to inflict much damage to each other. I hope a peace can be reached in that matter...I hope that will help bring forth negotiations that lead to peace. I am tired of this war that has turned into a pointless massacre of good soldiers.

– Queen Nadina Vasata


When asked to comment about whether the Cagilan Empire thought Queen Nadina's ascension could bring about peace, Prime Minister Susan Maxwell responded that "The new Queen is her own person and does not have to follow the path of her father. The path between Darka and the Cagilian Empire will be determined partly by her actions and choices. Peace is never impossible, but it would require negotiation." The Leon's Roar will continue to follow this story and provide you with its developments.


By Lazlo Lemont II The Silnarian Heresy Religious News

It was with surprise that members of the Way of the Warrior Saints greeted news from one Sir Alejandro Hurlant, a Silnarian who aspired to join the priesthood. Sir Hurlant had declared Silnaria "holy unto the Saints of Old," and that "the lands of this land [Silnaria] are blessed." After this heretical pronouncement, Sir Hurlant proceeded to recreate an Order devoted to spreading its blasphemy and raised the "Owl King" Drizztle Sharpspeare to be the first of its members. Reasonably irked by the insinuation that their rightful liberation of Silnarian lands was an attack upon a "holy" nation, the nobles of Minas Leon protested these pronouncements with much success, leading Sir Hurlant to recant his more extreme apostasies. Sir Alejandro was appointed to the priesthood as a reward for encouraging the growth of the Warrior Saints in Silnaria, and rumor has it that Minas Leon has begun scholarship to recover their own unique and intimate connections with the Faith.
