Changes and Upgrades! | ||
02 October 1007 | Thrydwulf | |
First things first! Welcome to the brand spanking new look of the Heenite Highlights. There are many people to thank for the makeover this paper has had since the last edition (2 months back!). The designers in the desert, had stopped re-drawing the old editions, and started to work on a new header. Thanks to Melerion Livingstone, the newspaper has a new header. The more observant among you will notice we also have a new realm logo! It has not yet been enbossed onto the equipment of the soldiers, or emblazoned on the armour, or even stitched into a flag. This is a brand new logo, to which many hands took part in the design of.
The makers would like very much to enlighten people as to what the different parts of the shield mean to the people of Heen.
The smithys and armourers will no doubt spend the next few weeks getting to grips with the complex design of the new logo, but there have been positive comments already. The population of the desert regions is quickly approaching 40,000 again, which it hit just before the undead invaded and killed nearly 9000 peasants. |
This rise in population, has meant that most of the regions are now working at full capacity. Heen has produced surplus food the past few weeks, and has sold to neighbouring realms to feed needy mouths in light of the continuing oppression.
As well as the changes for the better of the newspaper, our realm has gone through a staggering amount of changes since the last edition. Unfortunately, we could not publish September's newspaper properly, as many things weren't ready, but hopefully this part of the article should summarize the events nicely. Many of the positions within Heen have changed, for a variety of reasons. The former Duke of Tahgalez, Kagurati Tian was thought to be doing things his own way a little too often. He actively disobeyed orders to vote upon the giving of service medals within the realm, he dealt with the food in his region against the will of the Banker, and he had far too many ties to the former realm of Varyamo Nolvo to be healthy. The council decided to launch an investigation in secret, but Arch priest Attila leaked the information to Kagurati, and thus caused him to leave...to Mesh. This of course, left the position of Duke of Tahgalez up for grabs. The candidates who stepped forward, were Joan of Arc, Jadine Baraedor, Mao Tse Tung, Medium T-Style and Hericus Le-Fay. A referendum was held with Jadine coming out on top by a vast majority. This meant that Jadine had to give up her position as Baroness of Hcallow. The large estate there went to Tanis Mosher. Around the same time, Beatrice Grancourt stepped down from her position as Countess of Kif, handing over control of the region to her loyal Knight Tissaphernes Ulthran. She also took up the sword again, returning to the army for the future. However, that was not the end of the quick-stepping to take place in Heen. After many rumours of spies within our realm working with Mesh, and leaking all our most important documents, the Arch Priest Attila mysteriously disappeared somewhere in the deserts. After another referendum, where Medium, Jadine and Hericus ran for the position; Arch Priestess of Heen was awarded to Jadine Baraedor, who will soon be stepping down as Duchess of Tahgalez, to give it back to one of the former owners of the stronghold - Mao Tse Tung. After many changes, Heen hopes the positions will be filled well, and few further changes will occur. |

Worries in Watto | ||
07 October 1007 | Thrydwulf | |
While much has been going on between the realms of Heen and Mesh over the last couple of days (see other articles), much has been going on around the lands of Heen also. To start on a good note: earlier this morning, Mao Tse Tung was appointed as the new Duke of the stronghold of the desert - Tahgalez. There is now a region without a Lord: Kording. Mao will have the pleasure of deciding the Lord as his first role in his new position.
The Heenites have been camped in their most outlying region of Watto for the best part of a Week. Initially, the intention was to head to Old Grekh to deal with the Daimons there, but upon hearing Plergoth, Khthon and now Vlaanderen under threat, the Heenites turned South. They were stopped in Watto however, by 4 separate Daimon Lords. Beatrice Grancourt and Bayloc Dajeli were caught out as they passed by. The army set up camp in Watto, and began to keep watch on the regions of Tor (Ashborn) and Mokut (Mesh), where the Daimons seemed to be staying. Their numbers were not great enough to engage in the Daimons, but the General of Ashborn expressed a wish to tackle the Daimons in Ircymbar. One of the Daimon Lords has since moved on to Ircymbar, and the Heenite army needed to refit - with the promise to Ashborn that they would be back as soon as possible. |
Things were not as simple as that, however (as usual!). Even as the orders for the Heenites to head back to Heen to refit were handed to all nobles in Watto and the first riders set out, a group of Monsters were spotted approaching the temporary fortifications the Heenites had made on the edge of the desert.
The first battle took place this morning, where only 13 monsters blindly assaulted the fortifications. Some eager Heenites, having not seen a battle in a long time, burst out of the fortifications early and engaged the savage beasts. This caused confusion and overcrowding, leading to a number of Heenite deaths. The monsters were defeated, but only for the morning. Battle 1 As evening approached, another group of 7 monsters - some perhaps from the morning assault from the look of their skin, but you never can tell - hurled themselves at the barricades with a vicious furiosity. Only 3 Heenite nobles were left to deal with the monsters: Thrydwulf, Alastar and Linker. The 7 monsters caused havok in their beserker state, slaying a number of Heenite nobles before they were driven back. From recent scout reports it still looks like there are a few stragglers left. Battle 2 All the monster battles have caused the regions control to drop to province. |
