August 1, 2006 - Old Rancaguan resolve to cleanse Kalmar renewed! The Cease-fire which has existed between the realms of Kalmar and Old Rancagua has lasted for 22 days, 22 tumultuous days in Old Rancagua. Much has been said, much has been discussed, theorised and decided upon. But, it seems, after only 22 days of "peace" the conflict shall be renewed. Eventually, the decision came to a realm-wide vote in which the overwhelming majority decided in favour of resuming the conflict. Much of the debate raged around the issue of the large Avamarian/Oligarchian section of the Kalmarian society, a section of the realm which clearly plays a large part in Kalmar's administration and decision-making process, both privately and publically. The existence of a "House of Avamar" guildhouse also cannot be ignored. Though Prometheus is Chancellor, it is clear that he only remains so, in order for the Avamarians to be saved from the righteous might of Old Rancagua and the other members of the Northern Alliance. They have contributed much to Kalmar, but only in an effort to save their own skin. Inside sources have shown that they do intend to change the banner of Kalmar and much of her appearance to resemble further Avamarian traits, as well as private message groups which are comprised solely of Avamarians under the command of the only man they will ever be loyal to, the ever omnipresent Lalakis. It is clear that they do not consider themselves Kalmarians at all, that they have merely poisoned or coerced their fellow nobles into following their beliefs in the way the realm should be run and where it should be taken. It has been decided that Old Rancagua would prefer a realm of only the last remaining Kalmar loyalists, than allow a realm of its own creation to remain under the dominance of a man such as Lalakis. New High Marshal of Old Rancagua With the resignation of Lord Wenliang due to health reasons, there was much talk in Old Rancagua as to who the direction of the military would fall to. In the end, and after some controversy, the longstanding incumbent Arch-Priest Lord Johnny was appointed as the new High Marshal. Though, his appointment as the new military leader, Lord Johnny chose to relinquish his office as the Arch-Priest leading to a vote to decide who would maintain justice amongst the nobles. After a very clean and good-natured campaign with several contenders, Lord Antan, the former Baron of Obando and Royal Treasurer of the realm was elected. Congratulations Antan and Johnny! We're back! Well, for a while there at the end of July we disappeared for a while, renovations in the offices in Ashforth were the main cause, transporting all that paperwork from city to city is a tiring excercise! But, with the start of the new month we are back and bringing you the true story from the north once more. War with Kalmar is brewing once more, and we have to make sure that the KIC doesn't get too cocky! :)		August 1, 2006 - Public Execution: The rogue fighter is publicly executed in Hamadan.
