Secession! Rumours have reached the Chronicle here on the Western continent that civil war has struck the superpower of Pian en Luries. Details are sketchy at best for the moment, but word is that the founding city of Poryatown has been declared the Capital of a new realm under the command of the former King of Pian en Luries, and its founder, Kanneji. At this point in time there is no information regarding the events which have surrounded the secession, nor has any word been received upon the Duke's motives for doing so. What is clear however, is that in the process of the secession the once superior realm of Pian en Luries has lost a third of its population, with a city and all of its ducal posessions following. Some five regions in total, and perhaps 20 or so nobles. Greatly dwarfed by the remaining power of the Luries proper, this new realm will be hard pressed to survive a prolonged war of that there is no doubt. Though, this surprising series of events will no doubt be greeted with jubilation in the Grand Duchy of Fissoa, almost assuring the end of their phoney war with the Lurians as they move on to deal with bigger fish. Will report on more information as we hear of it... Awash with monsters The month of June has not began well for the Caerwynian nobility, as our lands have become awash with monsters and undead in fresh invasions which have claimed the lives of hundreds of peasants and soldiers unlucky enough to come across the paths of the ravenous beasts. At present there are eye-witness reports of monsters and undead rampaging in the regions of Demyansk, Mech Derris and Knazyes, as the Caerwynian military under the command of our newly appointed Grand Imperator, struggle to deal with the situation. These new ferocious assaults have also stalled any possibility of further expansion in the days to come, as resources are re-directed to destroy the threat. Further reports indicate that work is also being done to begin the construction of walls in all regions that can sustain them, most notably the region of Walefishire in the north. With the funds not too readily available, but within reach, it is hoped that these fortifications will provide excellent bastions of defence, and redoubts from which attacks can be launched and frontiers can be held. At this time however, with most attention being directed to confront the threat at hand, this initiative too, looks to be a long-term goal rather than a short-term objective. Gains for Astrum The tiny realm of Astrum in the north-central isles has made its first true gains yesterday, taking the region of Dizeddo on their southern borders and making their first steps towards total control of the isle. Their takeover units, sponsored by the realm of Caerwyn, have been put to good use it seems, and the Chronicle wishes them every luck in their endeavours. Viridianite Justice Minister attacked In further shocking events to the northern political landscape, the Minister of Justice for Viridian, Lord Tsuboh Gothic, was struck down by an unknown assailant under the cover of darkness a few days ago. Word has it however that the infiltrator in question could be identified as an Everguardian, further straining relations with the Triple Alliance of Caerwyn, Astrum and Viridian, and hanging a pall of doubt over the negotiations between the broken realm of Everguard and the fledgling Viridianites. In many quarters the nobility of Caerwyn have taken the assassination attempt as a personal insult given Lord Tsuboh's former history as the Marquis of Farrowfield, and his good standing in the realm. There have been unconfirmed reports that the Caerwynian leadership is quietly encouraging the Viridianites to take the city of Eidulb in retaliation, forever confining the Everguardians to their northern posessions and solidifying the eastern and northern holdings of Viridian and Caerwyn. More information will follow as we hear of it.... June 01, 2008 Everguard continues to fail The last remnant of Everguard's southern holdings deserted the Everguardians just days before the end of May, and in yet another sure sign that Everguard's days are limited. Crippled by the daily monster attacks that plague all of the western colonies, and handicapped by poor leadership and the mysterious disappearance of several key governmental members, it seems as though the Gods themselves have spoken judgement upon a once proud realm. It can only be surmised that at the rate they are loosing their regions, the realm of Everguard will be no more by the end of June, unless drastic action is taken within the realm to restore its forward motion. The desertion of the Eidulb Outskirts has provided a boon for the Viridians in the Crysalanthys Mountains however, with its allegiance now under their banner and the city of Eidbulb itself within reach. Indeed it can only be a matter of time before this fledgling Caerwynian colony makes a move on the city and attempts to take what Everguard laid claim to but could not hold. Mellifera has a mind of its own The unexpected gains made by the Fissoans in their phoney war with the Lurians to the north have been reversed only a week after they were made. The region of Mellifera declared independance of all colonial control earlier today, after local anarchists managed to slaughter the local colonial government, and the Fissoan nobility were unable to maintain their tenuous control upon the lands so far to their northern border. No doubt their indepedance will be shortlived however, so close to the borders of both realms, Mellifera will be regained by either party in the not too distant future to be sure. New Grand Imperator Following the sudden resignation of the long-time Grand Commander of the Caerwynian military Lord Beaumains, the Archon of Caerwyn Lady Delia, acted quickly to maintain the realm council, appointing Lord Rothat to the command. Lord Rothat announced his acceptance of the office of the Grand Imperator shortly afterwards and has been welcomed by the Council of Stability wholeheartedly. A former Supreme Arbitrator of Caerwyn, and predecessor to the office held currently by yours truly, the Chronicle wishes him well in the future and looks forward to a fruitful time of consolidation and expansion under his guidance. Elections in Caerwyn again The monthly elections in Caerwyn have come around once more, with the role of the High Magistrate and the Archon once more up for review by the Nobility and the Lords of the realm. There has been some controversy however with the revelation that due to unknown bureacratic issues, Lady Delia may not be eligible for re-election to the rulership. Already en route to the Capital to consult with the realm bureaucracy, it is hoped that the situation may be resolved quickly and the elections permitted to continue unhindered. Tournament in Aegir gathers steam The tournament in Aegir appears to be under-performing in attendance so far, with reports yielding only 25 contestants so far within the tournament grounds. But with the record-keepers unable to track those nobles still en route to the destination, it is impossible so far to gauge the true size of the tournament attendance. Will keep the realm posted on further developments.
