Word has reached Morek of rising tensions between the young but growing monarchy of Everguard and the newly formed, but also expanding, Madina Colony. In apparent rejection of King Fisc Arylon's demands that the Madina Colony relocate to Golden Farrow, the nobles of the new colony have taken the townsland of Eidulb Outskirts. Many nobles feel that the results are almost certain to be war between the two. As events develop, it has also become known that the colony is not an official joint effort between Springdale and Madina at all. While the nobles that formed the colony have come from those two realms, King Neel Arya of Springdale has denied knowledge of the intent to form the colony. Grand Doge Abbot Nosferatus of Madina has also denied any official knowledge of or support from Madina for the colony. Grand Doge Nosferatus has, however, offered to assist in brokering peace between the colony and Everguard. With the denial of the rulers of both Springdale and Madina, it can only be assumed that Lady Lyse Chenier, who was herself banned from Springdale, either misspoke or was deliberately misleading in her statement that " The Eidulb Colony was a joint operation by the glorious and mighty realms of Madina and Springdale..." |
