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.

Temples of light are created in Hetland and Sint Sunday 24th October
After research into other faiths, two of the creaters of light that appeared in Bara'Khur some time ago, have found a temple they deem worthy for the blessing of light. One of these occurs in Firbalt, Sint, and the other in Creasur, Hetland. These blessings of light have had a curious affect on the unnatural factions, as it appears they cannot enter the region with these temples, and merely disappear. The unnatural factions have sent several letters, warnings, of these creatures of light, and the monsters have even declared war on their previous allies, Hetland because of it. Sint declared on the Daimons themselves after this occurrence, claiming to have "chosen a new path" and "renewed our faith". Much the evil factions have said about the creatures of light, seems to be based around the idea that they are dangerous.But is this based on fear? As a message from the Goddess of the Daimons reads:

"These temples of light are not the salvation of humanity they would have you believe. The Servants have cloaked themselves in the trappings of salvation only to draw the gullible into willingly giving their own lives. In this manner the Servants need not put themselves at risk. They simply use the life energy of their willing victims to unleash horrific forces of destruction. At the same time they siphon off some of the energy to stage an attack the barriers that hold back their masters. Should he sacrifices be allowed to continue unabated, the energy they amass will eventually be sufficient to drop these last barriers. If that happens then you shall truly come to know the meaning of "hell on earth"."

Much skepticism has arose about the temples of light, due to what mainly the Goddess of the Daimons has said, and because the temple of light requires 'blood donors' or human sacrifice. But it must be given willingly. Many see the Light merely as the 'forth faction'. It is not yet decided within Estahsism whether these creatures of light are a gift from Carazor as previously believed, or a trick from Voxar.

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
