Attacker Victory! Battle in Poitiers Westmoor vs. Sirion Estimated strengths: 700 men vs. 180 men Attacker Victory!  Massive tournament in Sirion! 10 August 1012 Prime minister Zakilevo Lapallanch has announced a massive tournament in Sirion with a wapping 3000 gold (in total) for prizes in both sword fighting and jousting. The entry for this extravagant tournament is completely free to everyone making this the most charitable tournament to go down in this paper's records. Don't think this will be an easy ride however. The war with Sirion and Westmoor has entered into negotiation while wide spread peace is across the continent (barring of course the south). High level attendance is expected from Perdan and Calgius as well as all other peaceful realms making this a very competitive tournament! We will bring readers any news we hear as we receive it.  The voice of Nivemus! 5 August 1012 While the war with Sirion rages onwards with Sirion still holding the upper hand looting Bruck and launching a takeover of Greatbridge it seems important at this time to notice the efforts of Nivemus which has created its first newspaper. Nivemus has previously seemed to the rest of the continent a reasonably quiet realm until the mass exodus of Saxon nobles a few moons ago. At the end of last month unknown to this paper the White Tree Times was launched hinting that the 'quiet days' of the newly founded Nivemus may be silenced to the past? While the Obsidian news seems to have gone temporarily (we hope! we need you mysterious editor! cough cough emperor Shady) out of business readers of that newspaper will be happy to see that the White Tree Times has continued the power rankings tradition with a very detailed list of which realms hold dominance and why - definitely worth a read. This newspaper is coedited by Nivemus' current judge Vessol Miethridates and former judge Neji Uzamaki, so these are definitely opinions that hold weight in the kingdom. Definitely a newspaper to watch for nobles seeking to understand the political climate in Nivemus. Editor Mathros Archives
