Royal Rebuke for Religious Revolution, Rapprochement with Republican Realms	June 15, 2013
is Majesty King Grimrog rebuffed overtures from the former King of Iashalur, now known as Niselur. Ser Turin Erickson, Keeper of the Sword of Terran, Knight of Chateau Saffalore, did not get the response he was hoping for when he reached out to King Grimrog seeking support for a campaign to unseat the sitting sovereign of Niselur, King Leopold Arrakis. Niselur was founded by King Leopold's grandfather, King Boreal. The realm was lost in the Ninth Year of Dwilight, but was recreated in the spring of Year 16 under the name of Iashalur. After the battle for the throne between House Erickson and House Arrakis, Niselur was officially reborn with victory of House Arrakis. According to a letter shared by King Grimrog with Asylon nobility, Ser Turin's softened stance on Asylon was precipitated by the abrogating of the alliance between Asylon and Aurvandil. Viscount Glaumring Apasurain, a former ruler of Asylon and lord of Vakreno Heaps said "it felt good to see that ex-ruler come sniveling to Asylon and then to be rebuked." King Grimrog told Ser Turin in no uncertain terms that the hand previously extended to him by Viscount Glaumring was not the hand of Asylon, and that Ser Turin was not welcome in Asylon. "I believe you wish to use Asylon as a tool for your own personal revenge and for the cause of your Church, Asylon does not deal with petty plots of personal revenge nor do we wage war or fight over religion, Asylon is a greater realm then that," he wrote. In case anyone should question His Majesty's seriousness, the King announced a new alliance with Niselur later that day, and endowed the Harbingers of the Storm war chest with 300 gold. Viscount Glaumring issued the following statement: "King Grimrog is the king and I his servant. Everything I do is for the greater good of Asylon and it felt good to see that ex-ruler come sniveling to Asylon and then to be rebuked. We are a team and though at times communication can be misunderstood we are all aware of our good intentions, hail the king! Long live Asylon the bear of the westlands!"
