Lord Balian Cheats Death
For months Lord Balian has been based in the Moramroth mountains organising scouting parties into Eston lands. When Eston forces threatened an assault on Moramroth Lord Balian was unwilling to leave the small band of militia to their fate without noble leadership and so chose to stand his ground against an invading army some three times greater than the defending forces.
Despite the overwhelming odds, the loss of his entire bodyguard and the decimation of the militia Lord Balian survived the initial bloody onslaught only to lose a vicious and gruelling duel to the death with Lord Lukas of Eston, who is said (albiet by himself) to be the greatest swordsman in Atamara.
Assumed to be dead, the gravely wounded Lord Balian was found buried under the corpses of his fallen brethren on a corpse-cart by his healers and was smuggled to safety and slowly eased back from the brink of death.
Battered, scarred and missing an eye he has apparently now left the mountains, his destination and fate unknown.
Lord Severn Encourages Households To Mingle
Lord Severn Da Hadez, acting head of the House Da Hadez, has ordered that family members as well as the household staff and guards be rotated between the family homes in Eurotan and Azzal to promote co-operation and unity between the Da Hadez households.
Lord Severn Adopts A Son
Following the recent death of Luchia Garilith Lord Severn Da Hadez, acting head of the House Da Hadez, has officially adopted her five-year-old son, Karith Garilith, as his own. After the death of her husband in a particularly bloody campaign Luchia Garilith served Darka single-mindedly in her role as horse trainer; preparing the best of the local horses to be sent to cavalry training centres. The birth of her son some years later caused some mild speculation about the identity of the father but this faded swiftly. Luchia and her son prospered although whether this was with outside assistance from an absent father was never known.
Lady Erisha Leaves for the Colonies
Lady Erisha Da Hadez is to leave the newly estalished Da Hadez household in Azzal for the distant shores of The Colonies. It is not known when she will return.
Da Hadez Household Moved to Azzal
Citing the need for better care for his ailing father Lord Severn Da Hadez has officially moved the Da Hadez householt to Darka's capital city Azzal. Lord Luthor and the bulk of the household will live in the newly established household while Lord Severn will maintain a presence in the old family home in Eurotan.
Lord Balian Da Hadez Exiled
The people of Eutotan are still in shock following the events of the past few days. It has become clear that Lord Balian Da Hadez attempted to murder his younger brother Severn in his sleep. It is thought that this was the ultimate result of a long-standing but well hidden power struggle within the family. Lord Balian was last seen being manhandled onto on a trade ship in shackles by the Da Hadez Family guard. It has been made known that he has been exiled from Darka on pain of death and disowned by the Da Hadez Family. This dramatic event leaves Lord Severn heir to the Da Hadez Household and the countship of the region of Eurotan.
Rumours
It has become a running joke among those nobles in Eurotan that support Lord Severn that his exiled half brother Balian is known to perform unnatural acts with horses. The source of this rumor is unknown and it's accuracy dubious.
Many in of the inner court in Azzal are speculating in private that Lord Severn's new son may in fact be his actual son, the result of a youthful affair with his riding instructor.
Some of those in Eurotan who still support the exiled Balian Da Hadez claim that the boy is in fact his son.
Speculation continues as to the health of Lord Luthor Da Hadez. He is said to be weak and tired but otherwise well.
