Current NewsKing of ASI comments4 February 2007 (Stargard) by Dabug Habap When asked for his thoughts on the recent Darkan/Talerium wander through the Ash Sea Islands province of Rogeshore, the King stated:
It is indeed a tragedy. The people of Rogeshore are lucky to have a King who loves them so. New Newspapers Everywhere!3rd February 2007 There are lots of new newspapers being brought into existence. There are also a lot of revivals as well. BoM and Falasan have recently started their productions, whilst Tara, ASI and Abington have blown the dust of the print machines and oiled the cogs to work with the current demand of fresh news. Hopefully more will follow in their footsteps. --Special Notice-- Also in the running for best new newspaper award is the new Redspan newspaper, As Told By Benny. His paper is a honest and un-diplomatically biased paper. One that runs on beer alone. Go Benny, we're behind you every step of Da Way. --Article written by Tony Tara-Falasan War Erupts1 February 2007 (Meldeen) by Dabug Habap While wandering the vineyards of the family estate in Meldeen, I read with interest the Tara Times stories on their new war with Falasan. It appears that Taran troops occupied territories in the western end of Falasan as they negotiated with the Catherine, Queen of Falasan, over a peaceful turnover of these provinces, which Tara sees as its rightful lands. When Catherine was ousted from office and replaced by Tank, the government of Falasan lost interest in giving away these provinces, apparently more in line with the thoughts of its nobles. Though Falasan was already engaged in a war with Eston, they seem willing to defend their territory and Tara's tyrant, Jonathan, felt forced to declare war. It is, as yet, unclear whether the Cagilan Empire will be involved in offensive operations against Falasan and whether the Darkan troops coming through the Empire are intended for such a role with its Taran ally or not. Of course, the Darkan troops that just marched through Ash Sea Islands could easily turn northeast and participate in that campaign. There is a confusing web of alliances, wars and ancient enmities at work. As the ancient curse goes, May you live in interesting times. Official Thievery Spreads1 February 2007 (Stargard) by Dabug Habap As noted in last month's issue, Darkan Arch Priestess Lady Lavigna is lining her own pockets with gold stolen from nobles fighting in RedSpan's defensive war against extortion by Darka. Now, their hand-maiden, Talerium is doing the same. At least Darka can claim that they are "merely collecting a debt", while Talerium hasn't even such a feeble excuse for this breach of protocol. One must assume that taxes in Talerium cannot satisfy their Judge's personal needs. |
Comments for this monthTony's CommentsNone yet Shamus's CommentsNone Yet Dielo's CommentsNone Yet Dabug's CommentsI really have to learn to watch my tongue. When I saw the sister of Arch Priestess Lavigna in Stargard, I assumed it meant that all our plans were being revealed to the sell-swords. I have been assured by the Carelian King that Yavanna would never reveal anything to her sister and she herself asserts that she would see her sister dead before she spoke a kind word of her. Of course, Yavanna had to hit me over the head to convince me (I'm thick-headed, so she had to hit me twice.) |
