Introduction: A tournament and a kidnapping. 1008-06-04 Lantzas Brigands Serving Arcaea It would appear that Baron Euran is attempting to recruit the fearsome bandit clans of Lantzas to fight for Arcaea. These ferocious horsemen have plagued us for many years; can they be used as a force for order? 1008-06-24 A Grand Tournament Many of the nobles of Lantzas, including its lord, Euran Kandurell, have ridden off to take part in a tournament of sword and joust in Greater Aenilia. Would that my old bones had it in them to venture out and watch such a display of prowess! 1008-06-25 Lady Harmony Kidnapped The sister of Duchess Edara of Nocaneb, Lady Harmony Kindon, has been kidnapped in the middle of the night. Harmony is no fainting damsel in distress; it is hard to conceive of a man who could so easily seize her. Rumour suggests that it is a family member somehow connected to the Baron of Sasat, one Siegfried. 1008-06-31 Sir Darius of Lantzas is Victorious Lantzas' very own knight, Sir Darius Exiled, accounted himself most skilfully at the tournament in Greater Aenilia, winning the contest of the sword. He has returned with a prize worth 1000 gold pieces, and used a sizeable portion of it to help rebuild Lantzas' infrastructure. The peasants have already started calling him Darius the Good; it is expected that many folk songs will follow.
