| HighMarshal of Yssaria Killed by Lightning!
|
| In an awesome display of divine retribution, the gods have seen fit to strike down Abishur, the High Marshal of Yssaria in a lightning storm that will be remembered for many lifetimes. When the lightning storm ended, Abishur lay dead, his remains reduced to a charred and smoking corpse. Following the lightning storm, the local priests attempted to contact the gods to ascertain the reason for their displeaure. The priests reported that the gods anger was caused by statements Abishur made relating to the behavior of the nobles of Yssaria regarding their future activity, and the upcoming tournament in Ubent. The priest's full interpretation has been published in the Caligan Courier.

| Sir Zog Returns has announced a tournament of joust and swordfight to be held in Castle ubent. There will be a charge of 20 gold per participant, and 400 for the 1st overall, 100 for the second overall. Your faithful editor would like to ask a question; The minimum requirment for 600 gold is 30 TLs. Your editor assumes that this number will be exceeded (due to your editors brother in Caligus going to a tournament in Sirion, he thinks there were about 100 TLs there.)
Now, If there was 100 tls who went to the tournament, that is a profit of 1000 gold.
We could even scale that number down! If 70 TLs go to the tournament, Zog will still make 400 gold. Where is it going?
I am currently in the process of seeing if King Handow of sirion will consent to an interview with me - watch this space!

| The soldiers of Perdan were defeated by the Fontanese army in the fields of Troyes. Both sides fought very bravely. Multiple Troop leaders of Perdan have been captured, but the Fontanese mostly evaded capture (One of their TLS will be enjoying his stay in our dungeons.) Firebrand of Perdan, who just recently joined our glorious realm, was seriously wounded. We wish him the best of health.
On the lighter side, The Friendly TO in Meuse has succeeded. Congratulations to the troops there! Now (your editor assumes) they will be returning to the battlefields

| I, Atticus, am your new writer. I'm still getting used to the formatting (I have edited, but on a lesser degree). I'll be giving you the most honest news I can, as quickly as possible. I'm active everyday, so you will be getting news everyday. Maybe I'll try and run of a few interviews with Members of the world, and some of our brave Perdanite warriors.
I will give you news during good times, bad times, peace times, and war times.

| Today has been a rather bad day for Sirionite infiltrators. Two of their infiltrators, including the hated Lady Katia, were caught in Perdan. One in Bescanon, and one in Perdan city. Both infiltrators were trying to infiltrate nobles of Perdan. The Lady Katia made the mistake of trying to attack Sir Ambrosius. As is well known, Sir Ambrosius is widely regarded as the best swordsman on the East Island, having won the swordfighting competition at the recent tournament in Fontan City.

| Lady Clarissa elected as new Queen of Perdan!
|
| Following the abdication of King Gadouha, the people of Perdan have elected Lady Clarissa as their new Queen. In a short address to the realm, Queen Clarissa thanked the nobles of Perdan for entrusting her with the leadership of therealm. She stated that her immediate concerns will be to restore order to the realm, and seek peace with our neighbors. This will be a difficult task, as it appears that few of our enemies are interested in offering an honorable peace.

| Ubent surrenders!
|
| In a startling piece of news from the south, Ubent has apparently signed a pace treaty with the southern federation. The terms of the treaty have been widely circulated across the entire East Island. It is clear that the signing of the treaty was a move of desperation on the part of Ubent. The terms make it blatantly clear that the nation of Ubent will, from this point forward, be a puppet realm of the southern federation.
Part of the treaty includes Ubent relinquishing control of three of regions: Winkamus, Mines of Isadril, and Moyale. The remaining three regions of Ubent will consist of two mountainous areas and their stronghold. In essence, Ubent will disappear in all but name.

| Rebellion in Caligus!
|
| In a surprising move today, Vlad Nosferatus, once of the inner circle of power in Caligus has initiated a rebellion in the kingdom of Caligus. Possibly prompted by the long string of defeats and losses of territory, the people of Caligus took up arms against Queen Gwynyth. Seeing the complete lack of support for her cause, Queen Gwynyth quickly stepped down and handed the crown to Vlad Nosferatus. Rumors immediately began to circulate that the new King of Caligus is desperately attempting to negotiate a peace treaty with Yssaria to prevent the complete destruction of Caligus.

| Old Rancagua invades the Kalmar Islands!
|
| In a long awaited and expected move, approximately 13,000 CS of Old Rancaguan troops have taken ship from Kazan and are traveling to Stora. Stora is adjacent to the Kalmarian capital city of Kalmar. Kalmar is also, bay far, the most populous region in the islands.
Old Rancagua is one of the original two realms to colonize the islands, along with Perdan. Following the brutal rebellion headed by El Cid, the former Avamarians moved in and took over. The former monarchy was replaced with a democracy. It was only a matter of time before Old Rancagau, with a well known, deep rooted hatred af Avamar, would send their army to root out of the invading Avamarians and return the government of the Islands to it's lawful monarchy. Given the vast difference in military strength between the two realms, this will hopefully be a short conflict.
