A few nobles of [[Perdan]] have questioned the actions of the Queen, and a small number of nobles have lodged formal protest. Many nobles have also stepped forward to defend the Queen's decisive actions to protect the realm, and have labeled Sir Austin a traitor to the realm. In a message to the realm, Queen Evangeline noted Sir Austin's disrespect for the authority of the Queen, his liege lord Duke Nightmare, and the Arch Priestess, as well as his mismanagement of the region of Bescanon, and possible plans to defect, taking the region of Bescanon with him to a different realm. Sir Austin has also failed to respond to numerous queries that he explain his actions regarding the construction of a Temple of [[Sagarmathism]] in Bescanon. | ||

Immediately following the ceremony Prince Maelg extended invitations for the realm to join him in a celebration at the [[Perdan/Inns|Blind Buzzard]] in Bescanon. Prince Maelg vacated the office of Count of [[East Continent/Dimwood|Dimwood]] in order to take up the office of Marquis of Bescanon. Duke Screndt has not yet announced the name of the noble who will be appointed as the new Count of Dimwood.}} | ||

+ | headline = Sagarmathism Expands Its Borders| | ||
+ | article = Lord Austin, Marquis of [[East Continent/Bescanon|Bescanon]] has recently constructed a temple of [[Sagarmathism]]. The construction of this temple has aroused the ire of Queen Evangeline, Duke Nightmare, and many other nobles of Perdan. Sagarmathism is a worship of the mountains of the [[East Continent/Eldoret Range|Eldoret Range]], and was founded by Prime Minister Ryan, ruler of [[Ubent]]. Many nobles wonder what could have caused Lord Austin to turn to the worship of the mountains, and what business such a religion has in the coastal plains of Perdan, where mountains can hardly be seen. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Marquis Austin's brother Firebrand is a noble of Ubent, and is suspected to hold a high position in their hierarchy. It has also been noted that Prime Minister Ryan's kin, Lord Hrothgar, is the Count of [[East Continent/Meuse|Meuse]], a region of [[Caligus]] that lays between Bescanon and Ubent. Is this apparently newfound religious zeal some form of expansionist plan of Ubent's? Prime Minister Ryan, the leader of the Sagarmatists, has been quoted in the past as stating that Sagarmathism is a religion of the mountains, and will not expand beyond the borders of Ubent. | ||
+ | |||
+ | We know that such claims, however, are not completely true. Sagarmatist priests have been spotted preaching in the region of Meuse for any months. Count Hrothgar, the lord of Meuse, did not inform the Caligan government of such preachings. Nor did the Sagarmatists discuss the matter with the Caligan government. Nevertheless, the Sagarmatists have been expanding into Meuse, and now Bescanon. What exactly is the Sagarmatist agenda? Are they a tool of the Ubentian government? Or is the Ubentian government a tool of the Sagarmatists? In any case, the two seem inextricably linked. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Prior to building the temple of Sagarmathism in Bescanon, Marquis Austin approached Queen Evangeline for her blessing to build the temple. Queen Evangeline denied Marquis Austin permission to build the temple without prior approval of the Perdan Senate. Marquis Austin failed to attain such approval. Indeed, he never approached the Senate to obtain approval or even notify the Senate of his plans in any manner at all. A fine of 100 gold pieces was levied upon the Marquis for his disobedience of the Queen. Marquis Austin has so far failed to respond to public calls for an explanation.}} | ||

In every land, in every age, there are always tyrants that will prey on those who are weaker than themselves. Given free reign, they will spread their lies across the land. They build empires on a foundation of deceit, manipulation, and boundless ambition. Left unchecked these tyrants will devastate East Island, and all it's inhabitants, in wars without end. The Kingdom of Perdan will not stand idly by while the East Island is led into ruin and destruction. The Rampant Lion will stand forth as a beacon of truth regarding the travails of Perdan as it seeks to oppose those who would bring destruction upon our lands. As events in Perdan unfold, they will be chronicled here so all people on the East Island have access to an accurate, fair accounting of the events taking place in our world. | for the triumph [of evil] is for good men to do nothing. - Edmund Burke (attrib.) |
