Rebellion in Pian en Luries!
July 13th	Poryatown Press
Early on the morning of the 19th, a knight known as Mathias called for a rebellion within Pian en Luries. He claimed that all the power in Pian en Luries lay in the hands of two individuals, Queen Alanna and Duke Diodorus of Giask, and that they had misused their power to remove any shred of opposition. Although the rebels' objectives, beyond the removal of Queen Alanna and Duke Diodorus, appear to be somewhat uncertain, their manifesto includes a new government entirely for Pian en Luries, and hints at democratic tendencies. Such rabble rousing and commoner praising attitudes will surely not tempt the loyal nobles of Pian en Luries. A flurry of discussions and arguments have passed before the realm. Although the Lurian Weekly will cover this in more depth in other areas, the key points on either side appear to be that the Queen and Duke of Giask are silencing all opposition while misleading the realm to destruction, while the rebels are peasant sympathisers and the remnants of traitorous Verus Luria and its foreign supporters. Thus far many of the so called rebels appear to be on the other side of the continent to Pian en Luries, or leaving it by the fastest boat possible, which does appear to cast some doubt on their determination. Amongst other notables, Duke Proslyn of Askileon has joined the loyalists, making the rebels' job much harder.

Goatmen
July 13th	Monster Compendium
Found by Leon Agenor They are 6 to 7 feet tall, having the body of a man but the legs and head of a goat. Their mighty horns are capable of smashing a man's ribcage, and any who fall to the earth will be quickly trampled by their hoofs. These fearsome monsters are stronger and faster then any man can be; it is a brave soldier who stands against a Goatman charge. Fear does not appear to trouble them as it does ordinary mortals, and their stamina is nigh unbeatable - when their formidable charge does not defeat the enemy, they are quite capable of fighting him to exhaustion. Goatmen live in nomadic herds about 15 strong, lead by a large alpha male. Squabbling for position appears to be frequent, even in the midst of battle, and this disorganisation can be used to your advantage if you split them up into several smaller groups.
