The winner will be rewarded with five hundred gold pieces and the second best will receive one hundred and fifty. The prize money is slightly less than Eric Eyolf’s tournament back in January but comparatively the price for entering is half that of the Avamar tournament. Westmoor was highly participative in the last tournament in Avamar and nobles starred highly in the final rounds. Hopefully with the tournament being held in Westmoor itself we’ll again see a high level of participation from all sword fighting nobles of the realm. Heavy weight Sir Edward Antony marshal of the Royal Guard who won second place in the last tournament has already entered along with Marshal of the WC Ravier Nebehn. Let’s hope for an honourable series of friendly duals from the nobles across East continent during this peace time. I'll be at the tournament participating and will report back to New Westmoor anything of interest that happens.  Zakilevo departs Westmoor 4 March 1012 Zakilevo Lapallanch the former general of Sirion, turned priest, departs Westmoor today towards the realm of Perdan. Zakilevo has for the last week been in Westmoor city as well as visiting some of the surrounding regions in an effort to improve diplomatic relations between Westmoor and Sirion. The Priest spoke convincingly of Sirion’s intention to have good relations with Westmoor as did King Jor who in conversation the two seemed to be able to overcome their differences of faith for the better of both realms. Zakilevo addressing the nobles within Westmoor city spoke of the changes in the church of the sacred grove of which he seems to be deeply involved. The church has undergone extensive changes with the recognition of a large number of new deities known as divines. The church of the holy sacred grove now recognises nine celestial divines, nine terrestrial divines and four seasonal divines which have revealed themselves to priests of that faith. Zakilevo also spoke highly of Sirion’s prime minister Ilias Thunthorn (who just today was re-elected; see regional news) whom he claims has strong support amongst the Republic and is not a man to start war without good reason. The priest also spoke of some trouble with Nivemus’ council being unresponsive after a family won two positions but this seems to have been fixed now by King Talius. Hetrow Kinsey keeps Ibladesh alive with string I was about to note that with the collapse of Dayr Ibladesh was officially a dead realm however when my scribes investigated the matter it turns out that the region of Al Aquabah is currently flying an Ibladeshi flag. This all seems to be down to the work of former Sultanese Flow Priest Hetrow Kinsey (now we presume priest of the church of Ibladesh) who seems to be running a rather humorous rebel campaign against Perdanese and Caligan rule. Hetrow was responsible for the region of Dayr changing to Ibladeshi rule some time ago. As Perdan’s army entered Dayr Hetrow seems to have snuck out into Al Aquabah holding down the position of General and Banker. The region of Dayr swiftly claimed Eponllyn as their new realm.
