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 life. 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.

And so the Fourth Invasion Begins

Friday 4th June 2010

With blood and fire and death undead and monsters and daimons come crashing through the lands of Beluaterra, fighting great battles and taking over regions, bringing chaos and fear and they go. The lands of Netherworld in the North West, once again begin to stir. Their forces have been gathered, and have been used with intelect and integrity to take over all surrounding rouge regions. But this is just the beginning. Vistuvis Adriddae, who calls himself the God of Netherworld sent a message of threat and forboading to all rulers of Beluaterra, giving a warning to the Lord Chancellor of Mesh. "Your insults, as well as your infiltrators have been aimed against the Netherworld without provocation...This is your last chance. The Netherworld forces are ready. Chancellor of Mesh, you must make amends for your unwanted attacks." And with these strong, fighting words of anguish, the forces of Netherworld moved out attacking Heen, and quickly taking over the city. Rumors of great battles with Heen and Mesh Vs Netherworld have been spreading all over the continent, but this is just the beginning of the war to the North West. Meanwhile to the south, Monsters have created their own realm, taking over regions along the coast and around Jidington, and not just rouge regions, but regions of Enweil and Dominion of Alluran. The Dominion of Alluran have fought back, with some help from Riombara, with major battles against the realm of monsters, with as many as a thousand soldiers fighting on each side. Enweil on the other hand, have had no such battles, but the realm of Monsters have officially declared war on Enweil. There have also been hints of undead forming a realm too, making attempts on regions such as Qual, in the central North East of the Island. And so the fourth invasion of Beluaterra begins Written by Nikkitanilas

The Great Prophet Attila leaves Bara'Khur

Thursday 3th June 2010

The Great Prophet Attila, founder of Estahsism has today left Bara'Khur. Attila founded Estahsism in the region of Pel Mark, where he was once the region lord. In the past he was even Warlord of Bara'Khur and served up till now as ambassador. So it is a wonder why several of the realm members are pleased with him leaving. It is possible that the hostilities towards Attila was caused by much recent arguments between nobles of Bara'Khur over the signing of a ceasefire with Hetland, which recently Attila has signed. Although several nobles are distrout by the simple fact a looked up to noble has left Bara'Khur for a realm which Bara'Khur have not been on best terms with: Heen. Attila himself said before leaving "I have fought hard for this kingdom. I have done everything in my power to ensure her success. To guide her through her darkest moments. To strengthen the weak and aimless realm I found so long ago. But through it all, my heart has remained buried in the desert. I am still one of the desert peoples. For all I have achieved here, I consider my greatest glories to have come in Heen". And so with discontent towards Bara'Khur the Prophet Attila left, raising the Hierarch Nikkitanilas to the rank of The Great Hand, to tend alone to the followers in Bara'khur.

Bara'Khur quarrels with Hetland

Friday 28th May 2010

With the threat of a fourth daimon invasion looming over the head of the nobles of Beluaterra, many realms have ended their personal disputes for the sake of humankind. Netherworld is progressively increasing in power, with threats of attacking Mesh, and large numbers of monsters have been rampaging throughout the continent. However bickering continues between Hetland and Bara'Khur. It appears in the past during times of peace, Hetland sneak attacked Bara'Khur while they were off fighting elsewhere. This has left distrust among the Bara'Khurians, and reluctance to accept a ceasefire. This has not been helped that recently, while several Bara'Khurian units were performing a take over on Gaxamo, they were attacked by a large army of Hetters. Although they claim it was an accident, many nobles of Bara'Khur believe it to have been malicious. A recent referendum was held to determine whether we should continue our war with Hetland, and 10 people voted no, while only 6 voted yes. Ceasefire talks still continue, but getting to an actual result appears difficult for both sides. Written by Nikkitanilas

The creation of The Estahsism Echo

Wednesday 26th May 2010

I sat in the Shrine of Ilimis, Goddess of Rivers and Lakes in Iknopata. I was in deep meditation, completely unaware of my surroundings, my mind and my body had no existence there, just my soul was there, making a close connection with the Gods. I had only once experienced visions before, when I first traveled to the mountains of Bara'Khur and heard the calls of the Gods to become a priest of this faith. But this vision was different. Only one God spoke, and a God I had never expected to speak to me, Mikko, God of the papers. In my vision I saw a young man. Intelligent looking, with clean, short blond hair and no beard. His face was perfect, so perfect it could only be achieved by a God, and there was a mystical yellow aura about him. He spoke in a clear, educated voice, never changing the friendly smile that sat upon his face. He said Nikkitanilas Felhand, Priestess and Hierarch of Estahsism, I have a task for you. There are many difficult days to come. My brother God Voxar, God of evil is stirring. He gathers his armies of undead and monsters, and seeks out his daimon followers. There will be another invasion and many will die. You are an educated women. You have read many books and wrote many of your own. The events of this invasion will need to be recorded, and as God of the Papers I have chosen you to start a new paper for this purpose. So go now and prepare, for stories to write will not be in short supply. And with that he disappeared and I awoke. Written by Nikkitanilas
