Dwilight Daily/2008/April

Man tames the West	April 24, 2008
We wander the lands in these uncharted regions, and one cannot do otherwise than think about the stories of old, the discovery of the other lands before this one, and the stories of their colonizations that serves as a lesson to us all. I have personally been on these islands, infact, I have personally served on Atamara, the South-East Island, Beluaterra, the Colonies, and back to the war islands before ending up here in Dwilight. One can think of the colonies a bit, with all these unknown lands, mysterious associations of nobles, and the rudimentary state of some things. Indeed, when I was in Springdale in it's early days, and the Caerwyn of Eildulb and our arrival in Golden Farrow, long and absurd travel times, rarity of the ressources, the overall brutality of the nobles as their ambitions clash. However, the strong do not long remain like this, and with dedication and hard work, our realms grow in ways to challenge the kingdoms of Beluaterra. Springdale did this, in a way, though a little disturbed by poor leadership and seditious factions. Caerwyn exceeded expectations, already, we are a force to rival established powers on this continent, many large recruitment centers, magnificant palaces, our capital shines of the gold that cover it's roofs and other precious metals that compose the palace. And we think of the monsters here... A savage part to these lands, rather comparable to Beluaterra... "Me just hurt you a little bit" were the words of Big Fangs to me, as I struck down one of his critters. Monsters appear everywhere, and the weak succumb, but the strong fight back and will mold the lands as they see fit. Only time stands between the worthy of now and the mighty empires of tomorrow, empires to inspire the awe of the lands of old.

Madina Colony (Avenel) Destroyed	April 18, 2008
Unable to fight back the horde of monsters besieging it, the latest Madina Colony has lost control of their capital city. Chateau Saffalore declared itself independent of the young realm's control, and returned to it's rogue status. Word has reached us that the refugees from the failed colony are attempting to feel to Pian en Luries. They hope to regroup and try again. This incident is a clear warning to all nobles that the wildlands of Dwilight are a dangerous place, and not to be taken lightly

Avenel Independence!	April 16, 2008
Yet another realm has been born from Madina. The Monarchy Avenel is a peaceful realm located in the untamed west of Dwilight, with the capital of Chateau Saffalore. Avenel promises to be the rock of the West and there High King Sir Rev is calling all brave knights to come and fight for them. They currently are under siege by Undead swarms and Monster attacks, and though Avenel is young and is still trying to gain a firm grasp in the world they promise to rid the West of these foul beasts. Avenel looks like it will be a hot spot for young adventures with plenty of monster killing to go around and plenty of demon ridden badlands west to be explored.

Beasts Of The West Anger Nobles	April 14, 2008
Nobles in the newly formed Madina Colony have been fighting an uphill battle against the raging beasts of the West. Rumors of monsters having the strength of over 10 000 and Undead swarms consisting of over 300 creatures has spread to the cities. Peasants tell tales of even stronger creatures the farther West you travel. Clearly, the new Madina Colony is going to be founded on blood, both human and beast.

Rising Tensions in the North	April 2, 2008
Word has reached Morek of rising tensions between the young but growing monarchy of Everguard and the newly formed, but also expanding, Madina Colony. In apparent rejection of King Fisc Arylon's demands that the Madina Colony relocate to Golden Farrow, the nobles of the new colony have taken the townsland of Eidulb Outskirts. Many nobles feel that the results are almost certain to be war between the two. As events develop, it has also become known that the colony is not an official joint effort between Springdale and Madina at all. While the nobles that formed the colony have come from those two realms, King Neel Arya of Springdale has denied knowledge of the intent to form the colony. Grand Doge Abbot Nosferatus of Madina has also denied any official knowledge of or support from Madina for the colony. Grand Doge Nosferatus has, however, offered to assist in brokering peace between the colony and Everguard. With the denial of the rulers of both Springdale and Madina, it can only be assumed that Lady Lyse Chenier, who was herself banned from Springdale, either misspoke or was deliberately misleading in her statement that " The Eidulb Colony was a joint operation by the glorious and mighty realms of Madina and Springdale..."
