A little less than two weeks ago, Queen Martana of Heen and the Sintian Pontiff Bocephus met with a stranger in Tahgalez Tower. A former Heenite Duke of that Stronghold has only recently revealed that the two both met with a Daimon called "Living" that day. Apparantly, this Daimon is able to speak common tongue, the language of most humans. He payed both rulers somewhere between 500 and 1000 gold pieces. What was said is not known. Neither the Queen nor the Pontifex are revealing what agreements were made and what information was exchanged that day.
A logical guess might be that the Daimons paid the two realms to not fight them. The gold could be a bribe to keep the western realms at bay. It is only speculation but until one of the three leaders who were at Tahgalez that day releases the information, speculation is all we have.
- EDIT* Queen Martana of Heen has recently denied that gold was exchanged, claiming ex-Duke Kagurati's statements were inaccurate. She only admits that a meeting did take place in Tahgalez.

This morning two new developments arose in the Continent wide battle against the Daimonic Netherworld. First, in the south coalition forces consisting of Riombara, Caras Galadhon, Luz de Bia, Irombro, Alluran, Enweil, and the undead fought the Daimon Hordes of Dreadlord Arcane. The estimated strengths of both sides? Coalition forces were about 34000 CS strong compared to the 26000 CS Daimons. Similar to an earlier battle in Fronen, this battle was technically a victory for the Daimons. However, the Dreadlord leading the so-called victors died in the attempt. Because of this, the Daimons left in Ardmore should disappear soon and pose no more threat to the southern states.
New updates: on the Coalition's Undead allies in the South. Apparantly, Vicious was alone for a time in his army camp when all of a sudden screams were heard from his tent. From that point on Vicious could not be found. His troops, some 9000 CS worth of troops have become a rogue army and have begun a brutal takeover of Avengmil.
Equally startling, the undead who were until now allies with many nations on the Continent, now have lowered relaitons and alliance status with all but Melhed, even though no undead nobles let alone one with the ability to make diplomatic changes remains on Beluaterra. In addition to these diplomatic changes, the Necromancer's Servants have also declared war on Plergoth The reasons for these new updates are at this moment, mere speculations.

In contrast to the situation in the south, the Pontifex of Sint, Lord Bocephus paints a bleak picture of his nation's future. He has been quoted as saying
"I have just received news that the Daimons plan on attacking and destroying our capital of Firbalt... Sint will be destroyed if do this but Sint is nothing without Firbalt anyway."
His announcement of a Daimon plan to obliterate the city of Firbalt specifically may sound fanciful, but reports show that a Daimon force of over 90000 CS all lead by one Dreadlord called "Devastating," is in the area. That sort of Horde would be sufficient to eliminate any human nation on the continent. Sint, and the states near it are clearly in for the fight of their lives. We'll continue to keep you updated.

| Slaughter Discovered in Fianik

Yesterday, when the coalition of Western Forces (Heen, Sint, and Plergoth) entered the city of Fianik, and the charred shoals of Binoaramet, a gruesome discovery was made. In the middle of the night, the inhabitants of the two regions began to come out of the buildings of the city. The inhabitants though, oddly lacked skin, and muscle... and vital organs. The citizens of Fianik and Binoaramet it seems were slaughtered by the Daimons and subsequently turned into the walking dead. We asked the Undead leader Summoner what he knows of the situation and whter he has any sway over these undead, but he did not respond to our queries. Whether these undead are the Daimon's newest slaves, or the Necomancer's newest allies is still unknown.

| New Issue, Same Leaders

Since everyone here was impressed with the stylistic changes Nami Shenron brought to this paper, September will have the same look as August's paper. At the top of the month, the state of Fronen is good and strong. The Daimons have left our lands, we are reclaiming the Hills of Xhahgus which declared independence last month. Furthermore, the lords are making an array of changes to their regional governments which should make the homefront more stable. For the elections Grego Nosferatus ran an uncontested bid for re-election as Prime Minister.
Grego received 72.2% of the vote. The rest of the ballots went to undeclared, write-in candidates.
For Grand Justiciar, I Alexius DeSyrr ran for re-election. The Marquis of Jyl, Lord Reyes Kimball also ran for the office. Here the elections were much closer.
I received 45.6% of the vote.
Lord Reyes received 25.3% of the vote.
Therefore, I will continue my duties as Grand Justiciar as I received a plurality of votes. Reyes did make a strong showing however, and it seems that Fronen also views him as a good candidate. We will continue to update you with news conerning Fronen throughout the month.
