Introduction and Template

"Opening of the Occidental Observer!" Nobles of Dwilight, I am proud to announce the official opening of the Occidental Observer! A newspaper pertaining specifically to news from the Upper Occidens and the Maroccidens. The Occidental Observer is a part of new project spearheaded in the Dwilight University by Dean Bowie Ironsides to renew the once vibrant culture of newspapers on the continent of Dwilight. For the format and function of the paper, I will defer to Dean Bowie Ironsides' succinct explanation from the Toprak Times, however I will edit Troprak specific references to Occidental ones: "There are four categories to which this newspaper will focus on. They are: War News, Diplomacy, Arts & Culture and Aristocracy. Considering that this newspaper is founded right at the launch of a great war, the category of War News should be what offers the most interesting and fresh news about [the Occidens]. Visit it seasonally to see what's happened. Diplomacy collects all news on the alliances, federations, political schemes, debates, personalities and proceedings. It will not offer battle reports (that's war news), but might feature relevant interviews! Arts & Culture will remark on anything interesting that occurs during the course of a given season, be it tournaments, duels, drinking contests, marriages, deaths, and more. It will also focus on aspects of each realm in more detail to present a full and rich character of all the realms inhabiting [the Upper Occidens] and the [Maroccidens]. Aristocracy is a special category that will chronicle any news on the goings on of our favourite Aristocrats! Dwilight knows to expect magnanimous things from that lot of nobles, and so the [Occidental Observer] seeks to dish on them all it can! I should also add that each season the categories will be updated with new articles while this area will be a general summary of events in that season. The articles written here will then be archived in a different spot for posterity."'' As you can see, this project is bold, fun, and exciting! However, its success will depend on the contribution of many. If you are interested in helping with the Occidental Observer in any way please write to me ASAP!
