The realm of Perdan has elected Atanamir [[of Umbar Family|of Umbar]] to be its new King. For those of you who don't know who Atanamir is (where have you been?) he was the general of Perdan throughout the war against Ibladesh without interruption until the present day. His Hook Maneuver which saw Perdan's elite army do a string of looting against Ibladesh's regions round the west side of the lake was one of the deciding blows that brought about the end of the war.
+
Loyal readers of New Westmoor I will now try to relate to you the somewhat curious and morbid story of Malo Darkhouse. Previously details of the incident involving this noble from Armonia were known only in vague detail hence we didn't try to report it at the time, but now that the noble in question has entered Westmoor only to be banned almost immiediately from the realm, we will try and relate as best as we can the curious story relating to this man.
  
This leaves the question now that he has become ruler of who will take up the position of General? Currently King Atanamir is both general and ruler of Perdan so we shall see if this stays the same or not.
+
During the previous month Sir Malo of Armonia entered Perdanese lands without permission and apparently looted Perdanese regions (exact details unknown) and preaching to all about gods of the now destroyed Church of Ibladesh. For anyone possessing the smallest modicum of information about the east continent will know that the Church of Ibladesh is banned everywhere after the destruction of Ibladesh at the hands of Perdan and Caligus. Needless to say any man (or woman) wishing to keep their head on their shoulders would do well to stay clear of anything to do with this dead faith (once worshipped far and wide across the south).
  
Writing to all rulers of the continent King Atanamir had this message to say:
+
Malo Darkhouse was banned by Armonia's judge Intarex Tibro on the 26th of January and a day later was executed by Elisadeath Cancelot the judge of Perdan (for pretty obvious reasons). Thinking we had seen the last of sir Malo we were all rather shocked when a few days later sir Malo seemingly rose from the dead proclaiming to all that he had been saved by the gods of the church of Ibladesh.
  
<i>Greetings rulers of the East Continent,
+
Sir Malo then fled to Westmoor where he attempted to join the realm as a refugee. Writing to Cassandra [[Foxglove Family|Foxglove]] sir Malo wrote:
  
for those who don't know me, I am Atanamir of Umbar, son of Fuinur, General and now also King of Perdan.
+
<i>When I was killed I saw a bright light, and an ancient man saying that I had to go back to this continent to give it a last chance of embracing the True religion. In His wisdom, Ramsus decided that even a small number of faithful people will be enough to allow the continent to survive. These don't seem the words of a witch ...</i>
  
I am looking forward to hear from all of you and get to know those better, who I haven't met yet.
+
Head of the church and the crown of Westmoor his highness king Jor [[Tanos Family|Tanos]] wrote:
  
Since we face here a period of transition in Perdan, my letter is short, but I am sure there will be many more letters to write between eachother.
+
<i>Undead monstrosity,
  
For now, I send you all my regards.
+
Neither you nor the false faith of Ibladesh are welcome in the Kingdom or anywhere in Eastralis.  I know not what magicks raised you from the dead, your head barely clinging to your torso by a strand of flesh, but it is truly the dark arts.
  
Respectfully,
+
I pray your soul has found peace with the Divine, for your body is the tool of Darkness.</i>
Sir Atanamir of Umbar
 
King, General of Perdan</i>

Armstrong [[Ironsides Family|Ironsides]] has been promoted to the position of Marshal of the Royal Guard of Westmoor (Westmoor's elite army). The position became available after the famous Westmoorian Swordsman Sir Edward Anthony [[Mercer Family|Mercer]] decided to retire from Marshal duties but continue serving in the RG. Former Marshal Edward nominated Earl Armstrong to be his sucessor to the position, a decision that was looked on favorably by the crown.
 
 
 
His highness King Jor wrote to all nobles of the realm:
 
 
 
<i>Margrave Edward Anthony, wishing to serve in the Royal Guard desiring to see another lead it, has asked to step down from his position as Captain-General of the Royal Guard and has nominated Lord Armstrong to take his place.
 
<br>
 
The words of the Margrave ring true, and so I raise him to the position of Captain-General of the Royal Guard of Westmoor.  Let the once-Defender of Democracy now be the foremost Defender of the Crown.</i>
 
 
 
Earl Armstrong replied:
 
 
 
<i>King Jor,
 
 
 
It is a great surprise and honour to receive this position. Trust that not only will I serve the Kingdom with my very life, not only will I serve the Church with my very faith, but I shall serve the Royal Guard as its greatest Marshal ever...</i>

Results in from the Grand Tournament in [[Domus]] came in a few days ago. The winner of the sword fighting competition went to Giselle [[Relak Family|Relak]] of Sirion a relation to Westmoor's Gregor [[Relak Family|Relak]]. Celine [[Von Genf Family|Von Genf]] also from Sirion won second place.
 
 
 
This was a good day for Sirion who have shown that in the sword fighting arena they are a force to be reckoned with on the continent.
 
 
 
Jousting was won by  Vessol [[Mithridates Family|Mithridates]] who those in the publishing industry might know as the current chief editor of the White Tree Times (newspaper of Nivemus). Second place in Jousting was won by Irritus [[Galvez Family|Galvez]].

King Dobromir Menethil the sovereign of the kingdom of Caligus (whom we interviewed at the end of December) has announced a truly extravagant tournament in [[Domus]] with a whopping 7000 Gold in prize money distributed, as can be seen in Regional news, vastly favouring 1st place in both Jousting and Sword Fighting. If you are feeling about complaining about the 15 gold entrance fee then consider that no matter what this will be a non-profit event. Even if every single noble in the whole of the east continent entered the tournament they would only get back 5400 gold (taking into account if adventurers posed as noblemen in disguise).
 
 
 
This tournament offers prizes over double of the famous Grand Sirion Tournament held in Sirion in August of last year however to give credit where credit is due Zakilevo [[Lapallanch Family|Lapallanch]] didn’t even charge an entrance fee.

King ]\[osferatu [[Reapers Family|Reapers]] has responded to Queen Autrey revealing that Perdan’s judge recently abdicated and that the realm has been unable to dispense justice. The king has also assured the Queen that justice will be served to both the nobles involved in the two crimes. This comes as welcome news as reports of a small scale battle in [[Betholm]] have been reported most likely between forces belonging to Eoric [[Dishman Family|Dishman]] and Armonian defending forces.
 
 
 
Chatting to a courier in the Tavern of our lady in Westmoor this paper was able to obtain some further rumours about the murderer of the Dishman family. The story is quite unusual so we advise dames of the kingdom with less steadfast stomachs to read no further. According to the courier whose name was Hanson (a native of the Obsidian Isles) the fellow suspected responsible for the murder of Eoman Dishman is a rogue locals have come to know as Willy (also a native of the Obisdian isles) who believes himself foolishly to be the illegitimate son of the now deceased Eoman. Stranger still this fellow named Willy has no tongue and has been hacking out a living the last few years as a monster bounty hunter for the Obsidian Isles.
 
 
It is unclear why a commoner would even consider raising a sword against a noblemen but Eoman’s son has been chasing him across the continent from Perdan into Armonia where the rogue has now been hiding. The location of the murder was [[Eldoret]] the Dishman family home where servants of the deceased Eoman (may he rest in peace) was found with a deep stab wound. Upon further inspection it was also revealed that his tongue had been gruesomely cut from his body.

Queen Autrey Bendix has once again written to all rulers of the east continent this time about a separate matter concerning a Perdanese noble who has entered Armonian lands and demanded that Armonia arrest all adventurers with the aim of catching a suspect wanted for the murder of the noble’s ‘patriarch’. The knight of [[Brive]] from Perdan is known as Eoric [[Dishman Family|Dishman]] and we are unsure exactly who at this time was murdered but we believe it to be Eoman Dishman the keeper of the Dishman estate. We are also unsure at this time who the alleged murderer of the Dishman patriarch is supposed to be. The letter which can be seen [[New Westmoor/Archives/Letters|here]] requests of king ]\[osferatu [[Reapers Family|Reapers]] (via Queen Autrey) that the Perdanese noble currently in [[Oc Lu Pesh]] be removed from Armonian soil.
 
 
 
His highness king Jor [[Tanos Family|Tanos]] has written in response also calling for the knight to be ‘reigned’ in before he causes any unnecessary bloodshed to innocent adventurers whom the king goes on to say serve a necessary function in any realm. We’ll let you know when we have more details.

Zakilevo, the man responsible for the last war against Westmoor, has once again been elected to the position of Primeminister of the elven lands. Zakilevo has served numerous roles throughout Sirion in the past including two terms as General once as ruler (now twice) and a reformation of the church of the holy sacred grove as priest. He is mistrusted by the nobility of Westmoor and largey seen as anti-westmoorian which will undoubtedly raise blood pressure here.

 Malo Darkhouse miricle or madman? 4 January 1013

Loyal readers of New Westmoor I will now try to relate to you the somewhat curious and morbid story of Malo Darkhouse. Previously details of the incident involving this noble from Armonia were known only in vague detail hence we didn't try to report it at the time, but now that the noble in question has entered Westmoor only to be banned almost immiediately from the realm, we will try and relate as best as we can the curious story relating to this man.

During the previous month Sir Malo of Armonia entered Perdanese lands without permission and apparently looted Perdanese regions (exact details unknown) and preaching to all about gods of the now destroyed Church of Ibladesh. For anyone possessing the smallest modicum of information about the east continent will know that the Church of Ibladesh is banned everywhere after the destruction of Ibladesh at the hands of Perdan and Caligus. Needless to say any man (or woman) wishing to keep their head on their shoulders would do well to stay clear of anything to do with this dead faith (once worshipped far and wide across the south).

Malo Darkhouse was banned by Armonia's judge Intarex Tibro on the 26th of January and a day later was executed by Elisadeath Cancelot the judge of Perdan (for pretty obvious reasons). Thinking we had seen the last of sir Malo we were all rather shocked when a few days later sir Malo seemingly rose from the dead proclaiming to all that he had been saved by the gods of the church of Ibladesh.

Sir Malo then fled to Westmoor where he attempted to join the realm as a refugee. Writing to Cassandra Foxglove sir Malo wrote:

In His wisdom, Ramsus decided that even a small number of faithful people will be enough to allow the continent to survive. These don't seem the words of a witch ...

Head of the church and the crown of Westmoor his highness king Jor Tanos wrote:

Miracle or no sir Malo might have made a mistake thinking that his preaching of the church of Ibladesh would be welcomed in Westmoor the heart of the religeon of the church of humanity. He was quickly banned by Westmoor's judge Antonius Turner and will once again be going on the run looking for a new home.
