| − | The strange events around the continent seem to be getting worse as ships are sunk and peasant folk go missing. This message came in yesterday:
| + | A Glacier has been spotted on the south of the East continent which seems to be moving slowly forward and into [[Priotness]]. Perhaps this has been the course of the recent monster activity? Realms of the south and north are seeking the helps of scientists and mystics to try and work out whether the Glacier will hit East Continent and how much land will it encase in ice? |

| − | <i>The Coming of Winter
| |
| − | The cold grows more biting now. Some animals have begun to hibernate, and game in the lands to the south is much more scarce now. Some sharp-eyed people on the southern coasts have also reported looking out to sea and seeing a strange fog bank sitting on the horizon. Ships sailing in that direction have stopped returning, and the peasants are really beginning to fear that something terrible is coming.</i>

| − | <i>A Foreboding Mist
| |
| − | With the coming of dawn today, there are numerous reports from the areas on the coast that the fog bank a few had seen off-shore yesterday has now advanced so that it is clearly visible to all, and some parts of the land are now enveloped in it. Those who have gone into the fog (or who now live in it) report hearing strange sounds, like a terribly huge creaking and grinding coming from some distance offshore. Among this, there are occasional bloodcurdling howls and shrieks coming from the same direction.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The strangest and most disturbing reports come from those few sharp-eyed souls who have been able to look out on the fog from a high place. They report seeing the mists lie low along the sea at first, not rising much above the height of a tall house, but some distance out to sea, there seems to be a much taller fog bank rising out of the first.</i>
| |
| − | | |
| − | There have been reports of peasants grabbed from out of the mist by strange tentacle looking appendages. Yorik's dog that was on a chain south in Perleone cried out with a shriek and what was left was a pile of blood and entrails where it used to be. Ships are being sunk and trade from the other continents has come to a halt although tales by sailors who have made it through have told of strange events abroad as well meaning that these strange occurrences are not necessarily just on the East Continent.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In other news Caligus has signed a peace with Perleone. News from the south has also revealed increasing tensions between Eponllyn and Perleone over further territory disputes relating to Norritor and the other surrounding regions which were never resolved since Armonia's destruction.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In regards to this dreadful mist in the south this newspaper would like to wish the best of luck to all of this continent especially those in the south who are suffering the worst of the fog.

| − | Many apologies for the lack of new this month. Roughly at the beginning of February huge plagues of monsters appeared on all corners of the East continent and in every region forcing all realms to return home from war and focus on regional maintenance. Caligus has signed the peace agreement with the southern alliance. Although the southern alliance had outright won at this point the monster situation made it further impossible that they were able to fight on against Perdan, Fallangard and Perleone in the south.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Although the attacks from monsters were much more fierce in the first week of the month they are still ongoing and becoming more intense towards the end. In the church of humanity the priests and followers have also become concerned about a strange set of prophecies that seem to be coming to fruition:
| |
| − | | |
| − | These happenings have apparently been noticed across many realms:

| − | <i>A Breath of Cold
| |
| − | As the sun sinks toward the horizon, a chill breeze blows up from the south. It bears with it an odd smell, and a feeling of great foreboding. Something is coming, and you're not the only one to feel it: dogs huddle closer to the fire, whimpering rather than barking or howling, and the animals in the woods and wilds seem to all be migrating north, even those that normally stay for the winter.</i>

| − | Other big news this month was Jameson [[Talratheon Family|Talratheon]]'s banning from Caligus. Jameson was long time Judge of Caligus during the last year of King Dobromir's reign and the reign of King Actron. Jameson was banned after his vocal opposition of Caligus policy but also fell under suspicion after his brother George ceded the region of [[Mines of Isadril]] in to Fallangard during the ceding of Hamadan and all that chaos that I'm sure readers remember well from the end of last year.

| − | James who is also an elder in the church of Humanity joined Westmoor briefly and then headed south to join Eponllyn.
| |
| | | | |
| | + | The water around Priotness has already frozen and the water around Xavax is also freezing up fast. Many realms have opened their arms to the nobles of the south with offers of migration including Westmoor, Perdan and Perleone. Tensions between Perleone and Eponllyn have been high ever sinse the [[Betholm]] incident as well as the Armonian incident. Could this be the final trigger that causes a war in the south? |

| − | | + | <i>A New Resolve |
| − | <i>Undead! | + | For days, the southern peasants have been living in fear of the advancing ice, and the strange and terrible monsters it seems to bring with it. Today, though, there seems to be a change in their mood. They talk less of despair, and more of rising to the challenge and striking out to find new lands—whether or not someone else already holds them. More begin to show up at the recruitment centers, and those already recruited and the newly signing declare quite firmly that they don't care how far they have to go or if they don't get paid (much) until they have a new homeland: they're in this to make a new start. |

| | + | As rumours of these events begin to come back to those in the northern lands, the peasants and minor nobles alike begin to speak in worried tones of what is to come. Do all these strange events presage a terrifying migration of armies out of the south, bent on carving new homes out of their own lands in the north?</i> |
