Fuinur's Return!

Yes siree folks, the rumors are true. Fuinur of Umbar has returned to Old Rancagua. He was on an extended leave of absence to find his true pathway once again. He has returned and announced that he has refound his path. The Tyrant Thalanteus is riding hard with his men to meet Fuinur in Kazakh. It will certainly be interesting watching the political debating between these two. Emotions in the realm range widely. Some say there should be an immediate revolution into a Monarchy. Some say to wait. Some say Fuinur should be recrowned now, others say to wait. We can only hold our breaths and try to figure out what will happen with the government of Old Rancagua.

Ragnell Over the Deep End?

There has been a recent stirring of the pot here in Oroya. It seems that there have been some words echanged between Tyrant Thalanteus and Lady Ragnell. We here at the presses are not entirely sure of the goings on, but it does not sound like they are planning a picnic. Some have said that Thalanteus has gone too far, while others believe Ragnell has finally lost it. The caring of Elros and the temporary loss of Fuinur have surely plagued her mental stability. We are all waiting to see what will happen now that Fuinur has returned.

Meetings in Kazakh

Well with the reappearance of Fuinur. It seems that hordes of people are rushing out to Kazakh to see the man they know and love. Many troop leaders have recieved white branches from various creatures. These are obviously a sign of the White Tree od Old Rancagua. Those that have gotten their branch already have left their scribes and lietenants in charge of maintaining the forces while they themselves head off to Kazakh. This shall surely be quite the meeting, not seen since Fuinur and Ragnell were married in Kazakh. Old Rancagua Press/13th April 2006/Fuinur Related Roleplays

Fuinur releases his testimony!

That is right folks, we have the breaking testimony of Fuinur right here. Brought to you by the one and only Old Rancagua Press. "Well after I went south, I passed the borders of Gadlock and head through Bruck to Hagley and finally ended in Morshes that was Oligarchian back then. It took me many days of riding carefully through the land so I wasn't spotted by a bigger enemy force but here and there I had to take care of orcish patrols and neutralize them so they didn't spot me and call for reinforcements. So I rode and rode, not knowing where to, but I couldn't stop. Then in Morshes, submontane of Mnt. Evora I suddenly found Atmar's dead corpse chained at arms and legs to the montainside. He was there, tortured to death by Oligarch and then left back and I saw vultures ready to pick on Atmar's corpse. My face grimaced with pain by seeing my friend like this I freed him from his chains and put him on the back of my horse. Also, in the near I saw Arusse glowing, its hilt full of a black sticky mass...it seemed that some Orcs tried to take Arusse in their hand and it defended itsself like it should. I went there, picked it up as well and then made my horse ready. We rode then northwards again through Hagley and Burck back to Gadlock, wehere I buried Atmar in his old region near his house, which was burnt down by the Avamarian looters. I swore by his grave not to run away anymore and return Arusse to Old Rancagua and face my fate and destiny. And so I am here, ready to fulfill what I promised to a good friend." Sir Fuinur (Knight of Kazakh)

Puzzle of the Issue

A giant was recently reported terrorizing the border region of Gadlock. In the interests of the security of both Oligarch and Old Rancagua, there was a jint force sent to stop this giant. Six knights were sent out, three from Oligarch and three from Old Rancagua. Of Oligarch: Lysander, BarbaYimelos, and Ekalavya. Of Old Rancagua: Shadowwolf, swift, and Thalanteus. The force decided that two of them should confront this giant and drive him from the land. The two brave knights armed themselves and rode to do combat.

When they approached the giant, a short but fierce battle ensued. It was at this point that the giant fled off towards the Kalmar Islands. He thought it would be safer there one guesses. Which of the two knights confronted the giant?
