After the largest battle ever to take place in the East Continent, probably the world, the causality list are as follows. Nobles: Troops: 2nd Battle Noble Casualties: 3rd Battle Noble Casualties: Many thanks to the Scribes and Nobles Abigail and Loquan for collecting the information. |
A Duel For Honour! |
At dawn today two nobles dueled, till death. Sir Darfix, Baron of Sermbar met Awen (Knight of Avamar) in the square of Avamar. After many blows back and forth, Sir Darrfix, managed to get in a good strike on Awen. Although it was a fight till the death, Sir Darfix, sheathed his sword, proclaiming that he was not a murderer and enough blood had been spilt already.
Final results, Sir Darfix Wins. |
Is Armageddon Round The Corner? |
You may have heard rumors and stories about the end of the world as we now it being at an end. We, at Old Rancagua Press HQ, have also heard these rumours. From across the continent strange men have been preaching things, this one from Avamar where the great battle took place: "Rumours are spreading quickly throughout the land, that a crazy old man is preaching of doom and destruction in Sirion Castle. It appears that a small cult has sprung up around him quickly, and his visions sound strangely truthful."
Another from a day ago: "Rumours spread around the island. Strangers mumble weird tales in the local pubs. The priests are silent, but unusually busy. Something is amiss."
