| Bounty Extravaganza
|
| Queen Evangeline of Perdan has broken records with a bounty of 3,500 gold. Perdan has been discussing the source and reasoning for the bounty. Sir Corax, early this week, summarised and outlined some of the discussed "Conspiracy Theories".
"Theory #1
Multiple realms, its council members are involved in placing the bounty. What they hope to achieve, as Duke Nightmare pointed out, we attack a realm because an infiltrator attacked her majesty, they will come together and "defend" this realm. The infiltrator's home realm will claim that it is an action of a rogue infiltrator - politically, if we start a war base on the action of an individual, they will have all the justification they need to enter the war. So which realms are most likely to do that?
Theory #2
Some nobles are trying to dethrone her majesty and hope to grab power, so their leader asked support from the high nobility of other realms to place the bounties on her majesty. They would have prepared all their voting documents and if her majesty is ever seriously wounded unexpectedly (ooc:right before turn change) without prior notice, that person and its supported stand a very good chance and grabbing power before the rest of us could react. Why would the others help? Again, the opportunity to start a war with us.
Theory #3
High nobility of certain realms - could even be our allies - wants to start a war but they want us to start it. If it were our allies or enemies of the realm we attack, they will "support" us, if it were our enemies they will defend whoever we attack."
Although these are perhaps the most commonly discussed theories, they aren't the only ones to sweep the message system of Perdan. For what ever reason the Queen has attracted such attention, it is know for certain that she is now an irresistible target for thieves and brigands the world over. --Thegep

| Royal Treasurer Retires
|
| Queen Evangeline has announced to the realm that Royal Treasurer Cesare will be stepping down.
Report from Evangeline
Message sent to everyone in your realm (71 recipients)
Royal Treasurer Cesare has announced that he can no longer continue with his duties as banker. Cesare, along with ][osferatu, is one of the longest serving realm council members in Perdan. He has served with dedication, commitment and tireless devotion for a long time now, and deserves a break more than anyone.
Cesare, saying thankyou isn't even worthy of all the work you've done for our realm. But Thankyou.=) We all really appreciate all the effort and time you've put into making our realm great and will have a hard time replacing you. However, even though it will be hard, we will have to find a replacement.
Perdan is currently looking for a new banker. Cesare has said he won't step down until a suitable replacement is found. Before the decision is made for the new appointment, I give this opportunity to everyone to candidature themselves for the position or support those that they think would do a good job.
Lady Evangeline
Queen of Perdan, Marshal of the Shadow Knights
On behalf of The Rampant Lion, I wish Cesare all the best for the future. -- Thegep

| Southern Federation Crumbling?
|
| Word has reached Perdan of a coming rift in the Southern Federation. In a speech to the rulers of the East Island today, King Lucian announced that Itorunt would be breaking ranks with Ibladesh and Yssaria and leaving the Federation.[ref] Among the reasons cited were Ibladesh's support of the Kalmar Islands during Itorunt's war with the Islands, giving refuge to Kalmar refugees, and appointing former Kalmar leaders to positions of power in Ibladesh.
Although King Lucian's announcement stated that Itorunt did not intend to prosecute a war against Ibladesh. However, he also stated that "...if such is the path decided we shall not falter...". Such statements are producing some confusion among the nobles of the East Island. Itorunt has stated that they do not intend to prosecute a war, but will do so if such is decided? But who will decide whether or not to let the situation devolve into a war? Will a faction in Itorunt make the decision? Or will the armies of Ibladesh or Yssaria decide to punish Itorunt for the breaking of the Federation? The entire East Island is anxiously awaiting the outcome, whichever it may be.
You can read the entire announcement of King Lucian here.

| Assassin Captured!
|
| For the past two weeks a rogue assassin has been rampaging across Perdan. The string of assassinations left three noble seriously wounded, including the very first victim, Baron Milo. Three other nobles reported assassination attempts against their persons, including the editor of this paper: Balkeese, Arch Priestess of Perdan. A failed attack on Sir Modi of Perdan today resulted in the capture of the assassin who is suspected in several of these attacks. The assassin was found to be none other than Sir Kalim, who is also a noble of Perdan. Inquiries are underway to ascertain the the guilt or innocence of Sir Kalim in the other 5 incidents.
Update:
Queen Evangeline stepped forward with evidence that Kalim was not in the region of at least one of the assassinations, but no other evidence or proof was forthcoming either way.
After 2 days, Arch Priestess Balkeese deported Kalim to the FEI. There is a restless, unease remaining. After over 1,000 days service for the Perdan, nobles wonder why Kalim would turn on his realm or whether the assassination on Modi was an accident. It appears these mysteries will remain unanswered.

| Freedom a Farce in Aix
|
| The city of Aix already boasted a strong following of the Church of Humanity before Duke Screndt decreed that no Humanity priest was allowed to preach in Aix (see article, Arch Priestess Vs High Priestess, 13/6/07). These peasants are now forced to pray in secret and hide their faith since public services are now "outlawed" by the Duke. Some have even begun to dub their lord "Duke Screndt the Tyrannical".
Priest OldenRat today risked persecution to minister to the Church's followers.
Rumours are surfacing that the Duke has estranged from the Government of Perdan and has no support in the restrictions he has ordered, but an official has yet to comment on the situation. - Thegep

| Shadow Stalker Continues to Haunt Perdan
|
| Perdan has suffered at the hand of an unknown assassin for the past 10 days. Sir Cal Grindle is the 6th victim to be the target of the hiding culprit, whose most notable victims have been Baron Milo and Arch Priestess Balkeese. The repeated attacks are characterised by occurring 5-10 minutes before either sunrise or sunset.
Queen Evangeline has requested all rulers to ensure their infiltrators aren't on Perdan soil to rule out mistaken identity and Arch Priestess Balkeese has been working closely with the other Judges to confirm that foreign infiltrators are in known locations away from the assassinations.
Perdanese nobles are ordering their units to patrol the streets continuously, and eventually this 'ghost' will materialise, be captured and brought to justice. - Thegep

| Arch Priestess Vs High Priestess
|
| Amongst the undead and monster invasions, there has been a heated realm-wide discussion between the Arch Priestess of Perdan and the Prophet of Humanity. Arch Priestess Balkeese, at the direction of the Church Treasurer and Founder (since abdicated from their positions), negotiated a religious arrangement with Itorunt in which priests of either religion could preach freely in either realm. Prophet Tabatha asserted that Perdan's religion was not interested in expanding its religious borders and would've preferred the Arch Priestess to not have made the deal. Heated discussion on who holds authority over religious negotiations has been had for all to witness.
In response to the arguments, Duke Screndt made a public proclamation that no priest of the Church of Humanity was to preach in the city of Aix. Count Maelg of Dimwood, elder of the Church of Humanity and devote follower of Goddess Celestine realigned his region to the Duchy of Perdan with the following words: "I will not have as my liege someone who forbids my religion."

| Pontifex Sorcha Steps Down
|
| In a surprise announcement Pontifex Sorcha has stepped down from the rulership of Ibladesh. She gave the following reason:
Ladies and Gentleman of Ibladesh and the East Continent my time as Pontifex of Ibladesh must come to an end. It is time for younger, newer blood to rule this land. Fresh eyes will bring fresh solutions to all our concerns as a realm and as a member of this great continent. May the gods guide us all.
This is a momentous event in the annals of Ibladesh. Sometime tomorrow we will learn who will become the next Pontifex and take the reigns of the theocracy.
