 Talius Valorian interviewed 29th October 1011

Today one of our scribes managed to make it up north to Ashforth and interview Nivemus' first king Talius Valorian. Upon arriving at the keep there was already a line of people waiting to see the new king - such is the impossible ammount of paperwork and treaties that has to be sorted when a new realm is founded. Eventualy after some time had passed our scribe was allowed in and asked a few questions to the man who looks set to become the new ruler of the northwest corner of east contininent.

1: Nivemus will for obvious reasons share a close bond with Sirion but at present Nivemus is a monarchy while Sirion is a Republic. Do you see yourselves as having a similar government system or perhaps one completely different in the future?

The idea has always been to model after past realms in the north..the men which inhabit the north have this form most accepted across the region. Its an honor to keep tradition alive.

2: Will Nivemus have a national religion and/or will other religions be able to be worshiped in your lands?

At this time it is undecided about outside religions and much research is being done about our own, too early to speak more on that.

3: It is understood that much of the Sultanate is planned to be absorbed into Nivemus. Which bits are at present certain to be holding your flag in the future?

I can not go into this at this time. As you know many of us call this our home and what SoA is seen as is an occupier and foreign.

4: Why "Nivemus"? (as opposed to the usual mundane choice of calling a realm after it's capitol.)

Nivemus goes back to the ancient tongues of certain groups of people in the badlands. Nivemus is the name of the region the human clans of the north call home. The idea is to unite these clans together once again for a greater Nivemus. The people are rebelling in SoA lands now they the grip is loosened. We are seeing it.

5: Has there been any discussion on Nivemus' national flag?

There is a banner already in production. I believe it shows the strong points of the clans. A Horse and rider. Our heavy cavalry have always been a strong point. I believe around this we can unite and have an identity all our own.

6: To what extent would you describe Nivemus as the ressurection of Old Rancagua? - or is Nivemus' identity considered as a completely new nation?

Its a new nation with old ideas. The ideas dont come from those of us lording over the region, its what we have gotten from the people and the land around. We are not going to throw out what the people have known all their lives. You cant do that to culture. Nivemus is a rough translation of bright tree, or white tree which is pretty much the only representation of Rancagua. Honoring the old monarchy and golden age for the men of greater nivemus. Not forgetting our past, learning from mistakes and forging the future. I think in representing the clans our claims will be solid and everlasting.

 Birth of a new Realm 26th October 1011

Today saw the foundation of the new realm Nivemus as the city of Ashforth was seceded from Sirion to become Nivemus accompanied by the region of Dale. Duke Talius Valorian was coronated as the first king of Nivemus which is currently a Monarchy accompanied by Vessol Mithridates count of Dale. The realm boasts ten nobles from Sirion and is look set to expand northwest into the Sultanate at Sirion's convenience.

We'll bring you more news on this as we find it out!

 Meristenzio visits Westmoor 25th October 1011

Since the 19th of October the former Primeminister and now ambassador of Sirion Meristenzio Peristaltico has been seeing the sights of our Capitol city in what was a personal visit to Duke Gregor. The visit was taken with mixed reactions by the nobles of Westmoor many of whom distrust Sirion but as the days spun out the ambassador who was staying at the Duke's keep seemed frindly and open to discussion and made clear that the visit was purely social and not political (although it of course will be seen by some as the latter).

Meristenzio was introduced to the Duke's knights of Westmoor and over dinner Meristenzio presented the duke with a fine elven bow described by those present as:

a masterwork bow made of white wood, covered in delicate carvings and runes. The white timber comes from the renown white oaks of Lissambar, which are used to craft the bows for the fearsome Eleadorian Valkiries.

The two exchanged pleasantries and the Duke inquired as to his daughter who is a noble in Sirion. There was some small discussion of the realm Nivemus which is to replace the Sultanate and also as to what would happen to the nobles of that realm when Sirion tightens the noose. The Ambassador informed those present that he will be leaving tomorrow to continue his journey south where he intends to visit the grave of a fallen noble of Ibladesh presumably making social calls as he goes south.

Peace with Fontan

A temporary peace with Fontan was made over a week ago while the government of Fontan and Westmoor will hack out terms of a proper peace treaty which will likely involve some kind of reparations to Fontan. We haven't heard any more news on this since.

Recruitment centres

As fighting with Fontan is currently on hold the military council (with funding from Duke Corwin) has organized the replacement of a number of old and underperforming recruitment centres which will hopefully be replaced by something better. The shields of Oligarch recruitment centre has already been closed and a number of recruitment centres in Morshes are expected to have cuts or be demolished. Count Ironsides has received funds to replace these.

 Asena on the ropes 13th October 1011

The Sultanate of Asena today lost a crucial battle in their northern city of Oroya against Sirion. Vastly outnumbered and having two cities undergo brutal looting campaigns by the combined forces of the Obsidian islands and Sirion armies, there is surely only so much more that they will be able to withstand. According to the Obsidian news a takeover was in the works of the Sultanate’s capitol city Kazakh either on the 8th or the 9th so we can presume this has been running for at least five days now without a counter move by the Sultanate.

Once Kazakh falls the Sultanate will have no choice but to move their capitol city to Oroya and from then on it is likely only a matter of time and a case of sooner rather than later (seeing as Oroya just fell for the second time).

The new realm which is to replace most of the north of the Sultanate is we’ve heard through the grape vine to be called Nivemus and will presumably be ruled by former Old Rancaguan nobles although this is pure speculation. Kazan and Kazakh are most likely to stay in the hands of the Obsidian islanders as their reward for their part in the war.

East continent is going to have some pretty heavy changes this year especially in the south (Ibladesh isn’t looking so healthy although they recently reclaimed a couple of their regions). We still have next to no idea what Caligus and Perdan want to do with the vast amounts of territories they stand to gain in the case of Ibladesh being completely destroyed. There’s also no reason currently to expect them to do anything other than absorb those regions which could lead to two very large super powers in the south. If history is anything to judge by we can expect one mighty big war in the future a lot of which probably rests on the strengths of Caligus' alliances with both Sirion and Perdan. Such a triangle can’t last forever?

 Fontan invades Greatbridge! 12th October 1011

Fontan, while offering another so called peace where we have to pay them an enormous sum of gold (although for once this offer didn’t include any of our regions) has decided that the best course of action to make us agree to their ‘terms’ is to invade Greatbridge and start looting the tax office. Obviously they want to get a head start on our reparation payments before they conclude the peace settlement by spanking each Westmoorian noble on the backside with a sharp wooden stick. Such is their false pride.

Once again Fontan has failed to engage Westmoor successfully in diplomacy or understand what the word itself means. Anger was widespread across the kingdom that once again Fontan has broken the ceasefire and made no acknowledgement of the infiltrator attacks that almost claimed the life of Ambassador Jor and wounded Malos Nebehn.

 Ambassador Jor mortally wounded! 11th October 1011

Fontan’s Ambassador today wrote to Judge and Ambassador Antonius Turner to say that the troops in Evora would be withdrawing – that is the order had been given. They didn’t even bother to apologize for the fact that they shouldn’t have been in Evora in the first place but this is the kind of treatment we’ve come to expect from the shadow that once was Fontan.

Today Malos Nebehn a priest of the church of humanity (relative of the Marshal by the same family name) was wounded in Evora. Malos himself recognized the assassin as Kaysa Hyde an infiltrator of Fontan.

Later on in the day not content with one stabbing an attempt was made on the life of Ambassador Jor who was severely wounded. In fact the healers went as far as to describe this as a mortal wounding and did not expect him to live through the night. The Ambassador is bed ridden and the healers are doing all that they can to save him. Zartos Ut Daris is suspected as being the culprit behind this attack as he has been spotted in the region. Sirion has not been impressed by recent events and have promised to hand Fontan an ultimatum for a reasonable peace within the next few days. If Fontan refuses such an offer it is likely that Sirion would completely withdraw its support from their pointless war against us.

Gregor invades Commonyr?

For reasons unknown Duke Gregor Relak has invaded the region of Commonyr with a good one hundred infantry. There was no order for Gregor to do this and he acted on his own will separate from the state. Fontan responded by sending the stationary army in Krimml to attack the Duke in Commonyr. Outnumbered the duke was wounded, his army defeated and he is now in hiding. While in Commonyr he runs the risk of being captured and also the long standing risk of execution for treason against Fontan (crimes not recognised by Westmoor’s government). When he has recovered I’m sure many will want to ask him as to the motivation for such an attack.

 Fontan breaks cease fire and invades Evora! 10th October 1011

Much to the dismay of Westmoor’s government Fontan has invaded Evora with a two hundred strong army. Letters demanding correspondence have been sent to both Sirion and Fontan to try to ascertain what on earth is going on. The attack was again led by Rhidana Dubhaine the former minister of defence. Reports have come in that the Tax Vault of Evora was robbed in the early hours this morning.

They gave no warning of such an attack which is possibly in response to our refusal to include the region of Greatbridge (or any of Westmoor’s regions quite rightly) in a peace agreement. Once again this begs the question how can Fontan be trusted? Short answer they really cannot be if the history of the last five months is anything to judge them by. The WC has been remobilized and plans for all outcomes are being made. If this is Fontan’s way of negotiating then we’d be happy to offer a counter proposal.

 Maedros wins the vote 9th October 1011

As you will be able to see in regional news King Maedros has won the Vote by four which will likely result in him continuing to reign for the foreseeable future. The turn out was surprisingly high for a non-binding referendum.

87% turn out.
55% for no.
45% for yes.

Statistics courtesy of Lord Laszlo Umpeta Perticta.

Although this vote does clarify that the king has the strength and support to continue ruling should he choose to do so it also shows that Westmoor is still divided with almost half of the nobles opposed against the soverign's rule. There is still much progress to be made by the king if he is to rule sucessfully.

 Vote of no Confidence against the King 7th October 1011

What can I say? Once again more calls for the king to abdicate have gone across the kingdom. There was a brief period of silence on the 5th of October but then on the 6th once again all Hades broke loose. To quote Antonius Turner today “This is Madness!”. No this is Westmoor! Sorry I couldn’t resist that.

So here’s what’s happened over the last two days. Yesterday Hergoervik Draekarne called (in another very long speech) for the king to abdicate. The reasons he stated were that he (his highness king Maedros) had 1: Driven the realm to rebellion. 2: Brought about a constitutional reactionary push 3: Failed in diplomacy by being unable to find a peace with Sirion and Fontan 4: Become an Absent Ruler. Bear in mind I grossly simplified the wording of these four points above. Knight Laszlo Umpeta Peticta also called for the king to abdicate. Shortly after this statement, Gregor Relak Duke of Oligarch appointed Hergoervik Draekarne as the count of Hagley. “In keeping with a long-standing tradition of recognizing outstanding leaders of the realm regardless of their opinions I have selected Hergoervik to rule over the lands of Hagley.”.

Duke Corwin D’Saferate gave his full support in defending the king: "King Maedros has not failed in his ability to lead us as a nation and he has not failed us in the political arena. Westmoor stands the closest we've been to an actual peace since Sirion betrayed us oh so long ago. The King and his ambassadors, as well as Duke Gregor, have been doing a brilliant job with this." Feoran Lionheart attacked Hergoervik on his short recent history in the realm and repeated the loyalist plea that the king should be given a chance to improve before being forced out.

Armstrong Ironsides entered the fray by calling for an actual referendum on the king’s leadership or as we’ve described it a ‘vote of no confidence’ which will finish after the period of three days (so I think we’ll find out the results of this on the 9th). As this is an important realm document we’ve of course posted it on the Letters page for its historical significance.

Today the king addressed all nobles of the realm as to the recent internal events in a very long statement which I’m just going to put on the letters page as well so that people are free to make their own minds up. All nobles of the realm are encouraged to read this and add it to their decision making process for the referendum. This letter was met with support from the loyalists but following this there has been further public attacks against the king notably by Rhakanvar Schumacher who publicly protested against the throne. Sir Jor Tanos pointed out that the reason we’ve been unable to find a secure peace with Caligus (as diplomatically we are only Neutral towards them) is due to the instability in Westmoor’s ranks i.e. His own removal from the throne by protest followed by Flaylen’s removal from the throne by protest and now the current instability in support for the king which he felt was needless.

Zartos returns to Fontan

As you may well remember the rogue Zartos ut Daris was arrested on the 5th while attempting to assassinate the lord treasurer Maliki Nautilus. The Ambassador for Fontan Katalynfae Dragul wrote to Ambassador Jor to explain: “Sir Zartos was in Dulbin totally of his own accord and not by any orders of anyone in Fontan. In fact I have suggested to our new Supreme Justice that he be fined for being in the wrong region when we are discussing peace.

Zartos we are informed has now been released though we cannot confirm whether or not a ban has been placed on him.

 Ravier Nebehn promoted to Marshal 4th October 1011

Understandably Westmoor has been a little shaken over the last few days but now steadily things are perhaps turning back to normal. With long standing member Arica Maldives out of the picture (and out of the country) the position of Marshal has been passed to former Vice Marshal Ravier Nebehn whom we remember fondly for those battles when he led the WC (victoriously) back in August against Fontan. Congratulations were given across the kingdom at his promotion.

This means the post of Vice Marshal is now empty and anyone interested in gaining such a position is urged to write to the Lord General, Marshal Ravier and duke Gregor as soon as possible. Meanwhile the House of Lords has been deep in debate over peace proposals with Fontan and Sirion. You may be happy to know some small modicum of progress has been made but I of course can’t write what that is while it’s still under discussion. Sorry you’ll just have to imagine rainbows cherubim and doves flying about the kingdom waving coloured flags. When its finally all sorted out we'll publish it.

 The Rebellion comes to an end 3rd October 1011

With outstanding brutality the remainder of the rebel forces was finally crushed today. Truly this was a tragedy that so many fellow Westmoorians were to fall on each other’s swords. In a closing speech the Rebel leader Arica Maldives called for mercy on the lives of her accomplices Sir Derwin and Sir Vicfalco. She also claimed that Westmoor would be ‘doomed’ if it continued with the same ruler and attacked publicly the Church of Humanity.

Benedictus Tanos was quick to respond:

“Good riddance, traitor and oathbreaker… If you parted in a respectful and tasteful manner, you would have received a respectful and peaceful farewell. However, you decided to again make it nothing but a series of attacks on those who opposed you. Who DARED opposed Arica Maldives's dreams of grandeur and power...”

Noble Rhakanvar Schumacher has now also publicly criticized the king being the fourth noble (disregarding the rebels) to call on the king to abdicate:

“I wish to state that I am in general agreement with the grievances listed by Arica and feel that our King has failed us, if not fully, at least in a sizable portion of his duties… I distrust governments that do not at minimum, inform its people of their actions and intent. Thus, far I have seen little of such communication. I am loyal to Westmoor, not necessarily to the current head of state...”

He also promised symbolically to join the Rebels and call on change in government. Maedros Iltaran king of Westmoor addressed the nobles of the realm briefly today to offer the two accomplices of Arica renewed citizenship should they swear new oaths and allegiance to the king and promised to give a fuller statement tomorrow once the rebellion is declared terminated in Westmoor Court.

Rebel Leader Arica Maldives has been offered sanctuary in Caligus and was seen crossing the border out of Troyes with the remains of her archer guard.

 The Heated Debate continues 2nd October 1011

Fighting in the capitol intensified today as the loyalists entered Westmoor city and began to fight back against the Rebel army. The Loyalists nobles Judge Antonius Turner, Ambassador Jor Tanos and Feoran Lionheart all called on Lord General Thomas Foxglove to use the Westmoorian Collumn to crush the rebel army in the capitol however he refused on the grounds of this being a political struggle and on the need to keep Westmoor’s borders on alert against Sirion or Fontan troops.

Noble Sir Hergoervik Draekarne called for the king to stand down after the rebellion is crushed in a long speech claiming that the king was a weak ruler who was not able to defend himself in debate:

“…A strong King should be able to shrug off opposition not with indifference but by actively disproving or elsewise convincing others of the virtue of his opinion… The very fact our present King is seen as weak is because he does none of this. Others carry his arguments for him. Others even speak for him. It is literally like he is not there. That is why we're in this situation. Dereliction of duty…”

Sir Armstrong Irsonsides also suggested that the king was to blame and suggested the rebellion be allowed to succeed to allow the Rebel Leader Arica to fulfil her promise of stepping down (upon vote) to allow a new election for the throne.

Lord Justice Antonius Turner gave a severe warning to any members of the realm considering supporting the rebellion “If you choose to side with the treasonous Arcia, you shall condemn your fate to banishment and exile from your homeland”. He also went on to defend the king saying that although the king was not perfect he believed with support from the house of lords his leadership could improve and called for unity amongst the nobles of Westmoor.

As you can see in the regional news the number of Loyalist troops in the capitol now out numbers the Rebels by almost 3 to 1 so ultimately it is likely only a matter of time before the rebellion is brought to a close.

 Rebellion!! 1st October 1011

In a nutshell I’ve refrained from reporting on the last couple of days as I felt what was going on was an internal issue and wasn’t really the sort of thing that should be published in a newspaper until it had come to a conclusion. Well the cat is certainly out of the bag now so to hades with protocol and let’s try and explain to the rest of the world what on earth has been going on.

A number of nobles have become dissatisfied with the king’s lack of communication to the realm in a wide number of areas (this editor included, I will do my best to stay unbiased but don’t count on it). Thus Count Armstrong Ironsides came up with the idea of a constitution document that would outline responsibilities of the king and make him more dependent on the house of lords. This was met with disprovable by a number of nobles who felt that this constitution was a step or a step in its entirety towards Fontanese democracy. This brought about a large scale argument which has erupted over the last few days between the supporters of the constitution and the supporters of the status quo.

Arica Maldives perhaps the most hot-headed of the pro constitution nobles claimed yesterday in a standoff against the king that it was the fault of king Maedros for his lack of clarity and effort in communicating with foreign powers that was the root of the problem. This led to a backlash by Ambassador Jor who claimed that Arica was to blame for the failed assault on Krimml while she was General. Today Arica called for a rebellion against the king which has been published on the letters page explaining the reasons. Fighting broke out almost immediately over possession of the capitol.

At the end of today the current forces of rebels and loyalists stand thus:

Rebels: Arica Maldives, (Rebel Leader),Derwin Bluestar, Leon Vicfalcon

Loyalist Forces: Maedros Itaren (King),Antonius Turner, Benedictus Tanos, Cowin D’Saferate, Edward Anthony Mercer, Feoran Lionheart, Gaenm ap Gaenvan, Genivae Mailler, George Talratheon, Jacob Veloris, Jonn Kingsley

Twenty Seven nobles remain undecided or refuse to support either side. Fierce fighting erupted today in the morning with the rebels making progress however many nobles have since joined the Loyalist forces including Duke Corwin who has promised to hand out recruitment funds to Loyalists in the capitol. Although the forces supporting the king are large in number and it looks likely that this rebellion will fail the unpopularity of Maedros at this moment in time can clearly be defined by the twenty seven nobles who have not chosen to give him their support in crushing the rebellion. This may of course change over the next few days. Fontan’s chancellor promised not to take military action against us during this rebellion which is perhaps the first honourable thing they have done this entire war.

More on this story as it progresses.
