After continual preaching the people, having no Lord, opened their hearts to Estahsism and took the Prophet as their Duke. Though there were many who apposed this decision, especially when monsters and daimons threatened their home, and much revolting followed soon after. Feeling his heart no longer belonged in the lands of Bara'Khur, and wishing to spread the word of Estahsism further, Attila joined the realm of [[Hetland]], shortly taking the city once again. Before leaving Bara'Khur, Attila had errected a temple in his city, which fell into disrepair during the revolting. Now the region is back under his control, he saw to it that the temple was once again rebuilt, appropriately dedicated to Gol'dean, Phoenix of Rebirth

|title=A new Faith in Bara'Khur
 
|article=The Lord of Tindle has recently started a new faith under the title of the 'Sacred Order of Nyx'. This has caused much disruption and debate in Bara'Khur. Firstly, the Judge outruled new faiths being started in Bara'Khur, so there was much argument over it as the King had given permission prior to that, however the faith was started with no consequence.  
 
  
Secondly, Bara'Khur already has two faiths, one that stays prenominant only in Verdomite, then Estahsism, which expands to the vast majority of the people of Bara'Khur, in all but two regions with 6 temples in Bara'Khur. So the question arose, why would the Lord of Tindle create a religion that is impossible to expand without conflict? This was answered as 'it is a faith for nobles, not peasants'. A view which Estahsism disagrees with personally, but accepts nonetheless.  
+
Recent reports state that Marta has now traveled to the city of [[Dyomoque]], the purpose for the visit is unknown.
  
The main cause for disturbance however, has been the religion's leader and his attitude towards Estahsism and the Prophet Attila for his recent dispatch from Bara'Khur, taking a city with him, that was rogue before he took it anyway. Though apparently not directed at Estahsism, nor intended to damage or insult Estahsism, many comments made by the leader of the Sacred Order of Nyx have been rather harsh and personally insulting to several members of Estahsism. This has sparked much argument between him and a Priestess as well as the Judge of the realm, but was eventually taken to a private channel.
+
Since this contact, the High Priestess has had contact with one of the other two. Last night a letter was left in the Small Temple of Estahsism in Wudenkins by the being of light known as Gerontius. The letter read <i>'I come to grant the Blessing of Light on a temple that is found worthy. In order to know who is worthy, I seek to learn of the faiths of this land, and request an audience with one who can tell me of the tenets of Estahsism.'</i>
  
Other issues include the fact that Nyx is the name of a well known Daimon on the continent, causing some confusion, and the fact the religion is based around the idea of two archangels that are the recent fallen Queens, Carrie and Tonkotsu. This, many have found difficult to understand, as well as preposterous and impossible.

The High Priestess replied to this letter, offering a meeting in the temple, though has had no reply as of yet. The location and identity of the third being of light is still unknown, and so the quest for knowledge continues

Cost: Free Editor: Nikkitanilas Felhand (User:X-anne-x) October 2010

This newspaper is a free, informative newspaper giving up to date news on a monthly basis about the faith of Estahsism as well as the goings on in and around the realm of Bara'Khur. This paper is edited my the High Priest of Estahs, Nikkitanilas Felhand.

The unguided souls of the lost lie in the darkness of their religious slumber. Cold and alone they call out. Call out to the Gods. The Gods of Estahs. They seek the light and the comfort and the guidance, for the Gods are many. It is believed there is a God to represent all aspects of existence. They split themselves into five factions to represent the five main aspects of existence: Lore, Humanity, Nature, Creativity and Darkness. The Gods of Estahs are called such for the Gods dwell in the city that is Estahs. Where the city is, no one knows for it is the dwelling of the Gods and no mortal shall go there, only our immortal souls travel their upon the ending of our lives, where we travel to the Blazimir Forests, resting place of the dead, to find the souls of our passed loved ones.

Three mysterious creatures of light appear in Pel Mark Monday 4th October
A report of mystical sightings was reported in the region of Pel Mark in the past few days. An account of the event has been given by a witness:

The wind blows among the peaks of Pel Mark. High up on the tallest of them, a twinkling light appears, growing slowly brighter. The light issues from a small cave. Soon, the light is occluded by three robed figures standing in the mouth of the cave, who seem almost to shine themselves.

As they turn to descend the mountain, the light from the cave dwindles, then dies completely. It is some time before the figures reach the pass through the mountains below the peak.

When they do, they turn to each other. The tallest one, whose once-white robe is slightly gray and threadbare, places his hands on the heads of the other two, clearly pronouncing some sort of benediction. The shortest, who is also somewhat plump, and whose white robe has a few stains on it, kisses each of the other two on the cheeks. The middle one, whose robe shines the pure white of new snow, hugs the other two heartily.

Then they turn and walk off in three different directions.

After this, the High Priestess Nikkitanilas took to contacting one of them, known as Marta. She explained she is 'one of the three who have come to be the light against the darkness' and 'humanities hope'. It is believed they have come to aid against the three factions of darkness spreading across the continuant.

Recent reports state that Marta has now traveled to the city of Dyomoque, the purpose for the visit is unknown.

Since this contact, the High Priestess has had contact with one of the other two. Last night a letter was left in the Small Temple of Estahsism in Wudenkins by the being of light known as Gerontius. The letter read 'I come to grant the Blessing of Light on a temple that is found worthy. In order to know who is worthy, I seek to learn of the faiths of this land, and request an audience with one who can tell me of the tenets of Estahsism.'

The High Priestess replied to this letter, offering a meeting in the temple, though has had no reply as of yet. The location and identity of the third being of light is still unknown, and so the quest for knowledge continues
