| − | Appologies for the lack of news. The editor of the paper lost all of his parchments in Gadlock swamp. Gadlock is officially the least popular holiday destination on East Continent with an approval rating of 14% narrowly beating Skezard by 3% although technically tourism in Ibladesh has completely grinded to a hault. Conditions in Salta (the former worst region on EC) are steadily improving with chefs winning awards for Rat souflae al dente. However it remains to be seen whether or not this can compete with Atamara's stuffed badger.

| |
| − | ...I just read the latest editions you placed on it (New Westmoor) about Jaroslav being banished, I find the contents of the article to be misleading news.
| |
| − | | |
| − | I quite clearly stated the reasons for his banishment. They had nothing to do with the duel he challenged King to or over the matter of the duel he conducted with Marshal Ravier, in fact I was leaning towards letting the matter drop on that because taking action when they both participated in it would just cause more unrest in the realm.
| |
| − | | |
| − | His conduct, demeanour and remarks towards the King and other nobles of the realm, continuously using the public arena to cause unrest are why he was banned. I quoted the Laws of Westmoor to show this as well as he was quite clearly violating them.

| − | | |
| − | <u>Noble banned!

| − | Sir Antonious Turner, Lord Justice of Westmoor, Count of Bruck, Ambassador of Westmoor has declared Jaroslav Principe (Knight of Oligarch) an enemy of the realm and will issue a ban on him shortly. He has given the following reason:</u><br>
| |
| − | <i>1. You have shown no loyalty or respect towards the King.2. Shown public disrespect to fellow nobles.3. Using the public forum as a platform to incite unrest and dissension within Westmoor.</i>

| − | Kazakh has been officially returned to the Obsidian islanders since last week. With it the editor of this paper was also spotted returning to Westmoor. It was only when he reached the capitol that a passer by pointed out that his banner man was holding an Obsdian Islander flag picked up by mistake amongst the broken down buildings of Kazakh.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A lot of work was carried out by the WC in Kazakh but there is still much to be done. Most of the insurgents and activists were clamped down on and hung or imprisoned but what will take time is the actual rebuilding. Apart from this not a lot has happened in Westmoor. The [[Obsidian_News/February_1012_-_Issue#25/|Obsidian News]] has once again published the realm rankings list for this month with Westmoor coming in again at fourth place. Ibladesh city has also revolted (as seen in regional news) presumably after intense pressure and looting from the occupying forces there. Apparently Ibladesh priests have been responsible for some of the rebellious Ibladeshi regions cropping up once more such as [[Oc Lu Pesh]] and [[Dayr]]. Such regions are not likely to last but it is noted that Ibladesh is holding on with a somewhat humorous tenacity.
| |
| − | | |
| − | In Westmoor the region of [[Hagley]] is currently suffering due partly to high taxation and lack of estate support. Westmoor’s courtiers are working on the situation to try and pacify the populace and restore production.

| − | Mathros [[Hagakure Family|Hagakure]] , editor of New Westmoor, has been given temporary control of [[Kazakh]] city in order to prepare it for being handed over to the Obsidian Islanders. Estates have been set up and the duke is looking for some charatable knights to help give their time to restore order and productivity in the city. Westmoor's courtiers, soldiers and priests have all been hard at work today doing what they can to rebuild. King Shady Soulja and King Jor are also present in the city to oversee the work and discuss matters.
| + | <i>With the loss of Westmoor's capitol city due to Sirion and allied forces assaulting the city, the newspaper was forced to close along with the destruction of the realm of Westmoor. New Westmoor successfully covered a large period of Westmoor's history through thick and thin and will be sorely missed. Let the wars continue on!</i> |

| − | Kazakh city once the capitol of the Sultanate of Asena and formerly part of the realm of the Obsidian Islanders, rebelled and declared Westmoor as their sovereign. This is embarrassing for Westmoor and our allies the islanders. Readers of this paper will no doubt remember that Gadlock is still occupied by Westmoor after it too rebelled against Obsidian rule last month.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Kazakh city was decimated again and again during the Sirion and Obsidian occupation towards the end of the Northern war so that presently there are very few people left alive. Westmoor is in communication with the Obsidian Islanders about how to handle the situation. It is possible the WC may be involved in a similar reconstruction project in Kazakh as has already been implimented in Gadlock.

| − | <span style="font-size: 16px">'''Jaroslav banned!'''</span>
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sir Jaroslav knight of Olligarch was today banned from the realm of Westmoor after publicly challenging the King to a duel. Antonius Turner sentenced the knight (as seen in regional news) to be excluded from the realm and cast out for inciting unrest amongst the nobles of Westmoor amongst other reasons. The duel with Ravier was not listed but understandably holds a lot of weight. It is unclear where Jaroslav will head to next but should he return to Westmoor without permission of the Lord Justice his life would be in danger.

| − | | |
| − | Westmoor City was today in turmoil over the wounding of the WC’s Marshal Ravier Nebehn. Sir Jaroslav Principe has for the last few days been speaking out publicly against the Church of Humanity. What began as a disagreement with the King over the church of Ibladesh’s moral grounding in the south soon erupted into a heated argument over the moral standing of the COH.
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b>Although a lot of exchanges in debate were given in Westmoor I’ll quote just a few (in a somewhat futile attempt to keep things brief):
| |
| − | Sir Jaroslav was quoted as saying:</b>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <i>Look at the Church of Humanity and their arguments that the endless deaths of tens of thousands in the south is justified, because they don't follow the same religion. When, neither religions are particularly bad, or evil, though I would say the COH should be more accurately referred to as the Church Of The Morally Dubious… though they barely count as a religion at all.</i>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b>The King was quoted as saying (After being accused of aggressively expanding COH):</b>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <i>…Holy Church is the only faith on this continent that forbids the use of faith to seize foreign lands. We are the only faith that practices solely preaching by the word, not by the sword.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Holy Church defends, protects. It does not attack.</i>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <b>Ravier Nebehn yesterday evening presented the following duel challenge which was drafted to all nobles of the realm:</b>
| |
| − | | |
| − | <i>Jaroslav of House Principe,
| |
| − | | |
| − | You have insulted my honour and the honour of my House.
| |
| − | | |
| − | By insinuating that the faith I believe in is morally dubious, and by extension that my nature is morally dubious, you are treading my good name and my service to the realm into the dirt.
| |
| | | | |
| − | I will not suffer such trespass on my good name, or the name of my family. I hereby challenge you to a duel until surrender in Westmoor.</i>
| + | All in all the map looks similar to the one we showed last month with the exception that Krimml is back in Sirion hands. We are busy here in Westmoor preparing our defenses for the next attacks from the enemy. Westmoor managed to regain the rogued region of Troyes. Perdan and Sirion are away at refit and may not be back onto the battlefield for some time giving us some time to rest and repair. |
| | | | |
| − | <b>Sir Jaroslav responded with a refusal to duel until surrender instead insisting on a duel until death:</b>
| + | [[Image:WestmoorJune2014.png|left|Westmoor on June 2nd]] |
| − | | |
| − | <i>Baron Ravier,
| |
| − | | |
| − | I decline to accept your demand for a duel until surrender, and instead propose that we duel until death or not at all. For matters such as honour must be defended with ones life in order to achieve satisfaction, anything less would be a poor attempt to gain satisfaction without truly defending their name and honour.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you see fit to truly defend your honour, then present yourself to me at the morning.</i>
| |
| − | | |
| − | The courts were today in turmoil in discussing the legality of the dual. Permission for a duel until Surrender was apparently granted by the Royal Council but a duel until death was not. As such discussion has been brought about over the interpretation of the Judge Bulletin line: <b>*Duels will be investigated on a case by case basis by the Council to determine its legality.</b> which Sir Armstrong openly questioned as weak. Lord Justice Antonius Turner openly condemned the Duel. King Jor expressed his disgust also and suggested that Marshal Ravier was also on hot ground, with the law, for accepting such a challenge.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Nobles of the realm are awaiting both for the decision of the Royal Council and to see whether or not Marshal Ravier recovers from his wounds.
