| Grandmistress Eva signed a peace treaty with Caelint this week. We of the Veiled Inquirer have been trying to get a hold of the specifics of this peace treaty but have been unable to do so. From what we have been able to gather, it looks like the Grandmistress has signed a peace treaty without terms! Why would she do such a foolish thing? If you are asked to give someone something, then you ask for something in return, even a peasant knows this! If only Grandmistress Gildre were still here, she would have got something in return, even if it was only a lovely fruit basket.

|The goat lovers and human haters attacked the Caelint forces in Haji this week. As it turns out, the attackers were rather weak and unable to secure victory despite having an equally sized army. Everyone in Caelint were biting their nails as the word came that an attack was happening. All knew that if the battle was lost then Caelint may end up abandoning the region like they did with Baqua. Such fears were reasonable but this was not to pass this time, as Caelint won the battle. The question we are left with is how will the goat lovers survive this war? They can't win with their human sacrificing friends against Caelint, how are they going to do it by themselves? What will they ever do when the Witches of Angmar or the Nothoi come north? It is the opinion of this reporter that the goat herd has bit off more than they can chew.

Obia'Syela: Peace with Caelint.
Grandmistress Eva signed a peace treaty with Caelint this week. We of the Veiled Inquirer have been trying to get a hold of the specifics of this peace treaty but have been unable to do so. From what we have been able to gather, it looks like the Grandmistress has signed a peace treaty without terms! Why would she do such a foolish thing? If you are asked to give someone something, then you ask for something in return, even a peasant knows this! If only Grandmistress Gildre were still here, she would have got something in return, even if it was only a lovely fruit basket. I hear the people of Caelint are quite adept at making baskets out of fruit, which is more than can be said about their ability to defend Baqua.

First Major Battle: Caelint Victory!
The goat lovers and human haters attacked the Caelint forces in Haji this week. As it turns out, the attackers were rather weak and unable to secure victory despite having an equally sized army. Everyone in Caelint were biting their nails as the word came that an attack was happening. All knew that if the battle was lost then Caelint may end up abandoning the region like they did with Baqua. Such fears were reasonable but this was not to pass this time, as Caelint won the battle. The question we are left with is how will the goat lovers survive this war? They can't win with their human sacrificing friends against Caelint, how are they going to do it by themselves? What will they ever do when the Witches of Angmar or the Nothoi come north? It is the opinion of this reporter that the goat herd has bit off more than they can chew.
~~Scyllias Navarra
We have the Veiled Inquirer have heard you readers complaining about the price of the paper. Do not be so cheap, do you think all this lovely blue dye for the papers are free? You should be happy we don't charge more! This amazing paper is a tremendous bargain at only one gold. Fret not, the price will remain the same so that all in Obeah's Haven may stay informed at a low low price. Viva la Obia!
~~Clara Pipin, Editor-in-Chief
Who attacked who?
On the 17th, Caelint's region, Daisha, came under attack by the forces of Gotland and Thalmarkin. The militia was quickly over run giving Gotland free reign in the area. Gotland and Thalmarkin are claiming that the militia of Daisha crossed the border into Sniika attacking their armies. Lemuria Alveron, Dame of Jedinchel (Thalmarkin), has confirmed that the Daisha militia did instigate the attack. No one from Caelint has disputed this claim but King Glynkar Plaraveen did declare war on Thalmarkin in response.

Mass Executions in the Northeast!
Vague rumors are spreading that many villages in remote areas in the Northeast have seen a sharp increase in people going missing, mangled bodies left in geometric patterns, and piles of ashes containing charred human bones. There is little doubt that this increase in death and terror is related to the Unholy Order of Mordok. May Obeah deliver humanity from this great plague.

Marshal Zebidiah Refuses to Respond!
After the entirely true article about the love affair between Marshal Zebidiah and Marshal Antonia was released last week, I reached out to Marshal Zebidiah to see if he had any response to his secret coming out into the light. It was not difficult to find him but it was impossible to get him to talk. Having been exposed for all to see he tucks his tail between his legs and avoids the truth! Make sure you pick up next week's article as we will be reaching out to Marshal Antonia next.
