A Tian by Another Name
24 November 12 YD	Karana Tian, Dame of Dunnbrook, Noble of Caerwyn
First, I would like to welcome all of our readers to the newest newspaper of Dwilight, the Occidens Occasional. I am Karana Tian, former Ambassador of Caerwyn, current Dame of Dunnbrook. Hopefully by the time this issue reaches print I'll be Viscountess Dunnbrook, but who knows? So many elections running in Caerwyn right now it's almost a wonder how the bureaucracy keeps up! But then again, bureaucracy IS one of the few things that is capable of making more of itself with no outside influence. Anyways, a bit about the newspaper and my goals. After the death of my father, Zanaras Tian, I inherited a number of his things; to include the entire original collection of the Lurian Weekly issues and the printing equipment the Poryatown Press had one time owned. I have decided I would put it to good use again, by creating this newspaper. My goal is to publish at least one issue a month, with no more than one standard issue a week. For any major events or special occasions we'll run special issues outside the normal printing schedule. And yes, the title of this particular article is a tribute to my father. Father, if you're still out there, Thank You.

New Ambassador of Caerwyn
24 November 12 YD	Karana Tian, Noble of Caerwyn
Baal Zephon Beldragos, Archon of Caerwyn, Viscount of Grazne, Marshal of the Heavy Strikers Group has promoted Ereia Stormwind, to ambassador of the realm. Or so the town criers decreed nearly a day ago. For those of you who don't know, Ereia Stormwind is the niece of Former Archon Khephera Stormwind. I can only guess that politics run in the family. Nonetheless, I wish her luck in taking over my position as Ambassador of Caerwyn, and wish her the best of luck in the career. On that note, her first task is to reopen relations with Asylon.

Lordships, Lordships, Lordships
24 November 12 YD	Karana Tian, Noble of Caerwyn
I have come to notice something about Caerwyn. Whenever there is one vacant title, two more will normally follow not long after. Case in point, first the Earl of Walefishire is caught breaking into his own tax offices. He is promptly arrested by the guards. The State Purser and High Magistrate have both found no wrong doing on the Earl's part, but I do believe that a replacement of the guard is in order in Walefishire. This is followed by both the Viscount of Dunnbrook and Viscountess of Knyazes mysteriously vanishing into the night. I've heard rumors that the Former Viscount of Dunnbrook has in fact been spotted in the last couple days though, but not before the beaurucracy took his Lordship away due to "inactivity". I wonder what that means anyways... Did he not hold court enough? Did he not count the tax income quickly enough? Maybe he didn't inspect the guard as closely as he should've!

Election Results
26 Novemeber 12 YD	Karana Tian, Viscountess of Caerwyn
By the time this issue is published, the election for the position of Vicount Knyazes will not have ended, but both the other elections have come to a close and I am pleased to bring you the results. The first election for Earl Walefishire was a very close one, with a single vote deciding the victor. With 16 of 31 votes cast, Noah Ironheart is the new Earl of Walefishire, winning a very close race to the 15 votes the former Earl Sean Hawkeye received. As for the election of Viscountess Dunnbrook, I am pleased to report I now hold that position. I received over 50% of the total votes. In total: 17 votes were cast for myself, 9 votes were cast for Sofia MacDuff, 4 votes for Amandil of Umbar, and 3 votes for Arnault Solari.

Noble Flux
26 November 12 YD	Karana Tian of Caerwyn
As of late there have been a few nobles leaving, for reasons I will admit I do not entirely grasp. I feel that I'm missing peices of the puzzle of what exactly is being griped about; probably something said in private conversations that boiled over into the public forum because someone wanted to make a point. One the plus side though, there has been a recent influx of nobles from Giask. Some of them seasoned nobles who have a history of service dating back to the early days of Dwilight, others are newer, having only recently arrived in Giask before the fall of the realm.
