| Madina Forms a Colony |
March 31, 2008 |
| Nobles of Dwilight received some rather unexpected news yesterday: Madina has formed a colony in the city of Eidulb. The long journey from the city of Paisly must have passed through the rogue cities of Port Raviel and Golden Farrow. Why nobles form Madina would travel so far to establish a colony is still unknown. Many nobles feel that this maneuver is intended to occupy territory in the north to prevent the expansion of northern realms and colonies. Fisc Arylon, High King of Everguard, was seen to have commented: "It must be removed", as the realm is an incursion into territory claimed by other realms. The nobles of the colony claim that the expedition was a joint venture between Springdale and Madina. The colony is expected to Federate with Madina, and ally with Springdale. It is not yet known what stance they will take toward Morek or Everguard, but tensions with Everguard are expected to be high. |

| Rebellion in Morek! | March 29, 2008 |
| Yesterday, immediately before sunrise, Zul'Jin Stormreaver, a knight of Donghaiwei, gathered a few supporters and called for a rebellio amongst the nobility of Morek. Sir Stormreaver's major complaint was the apparent lack of organizations amongst the leadership of Morek. As evidence of his claims he refers to the lack of appointment of a Coffermaster and Ordermaster of Morek for the past two and a half weeks. Grandmaster Deverka Cryfdwr responded to this by citing problems in the administrative paperwork that preventing the appointments form being realized. (ooc: game bugs prevented appointments of council members for almost three weeks.) The rebels also cited the lack of organization and planning in Morek. Loyalists were quick to point out the complete lack of organization to the rebellion, including the rebels self-professed calling of the rebellion too early, lack of supporters, lack of troops, and some rebels not even being in the capital when the rebellion was called. | The rebels were quickly outnumbered by the loyalists. While they were able to win the initial surprise battle at the capital city of Donghaiwei with the help of some confused militia units, the army immediately returned to the capital and crushed the rebel troops in a sunset battle. As of this moment 39 nobles have declared support for the loyalists, and only 9 for the rebels. Investigation into the background of the rebels reveals that many of them had immigrated together from the realm of Ikalak, and some had hailed from other realms on what are known as the recently sunk "War Islands". It is not yet known if these nobles all came to Morek with a plan to take over a realm and make it their own, or if they merely took advantage of an opportunity. In either case, it is almost certain that the rebellion has utterly failed. The rebel forces are vastly outnumbered and more loyalist troops are on their way to the capital. As of now, Rebel Leader Zul'Jinn II along with a few of his cohorts are retreating to Bohai after being mauled in Donghaiwei and Donghai, possibly hoping to defect to Springdale. |

| Giask Revolts! |
March 10, 2008 |
| Following on the heels of the abdication of King Kaennji Shenron of Pian en Luries, the city of Giask has revolted from the control of the kingdom of Pian en Luries. It is believed that a combination of several factors contributed to this problem. First, several nobles of Pian en Luries were seen looting the city of Giask prior to its being brought under Lurian control. This must have angered the commoners of Giask, and caused resentment among the local authorities. Second, the abdication of King Shenron no doubt caused the commoners of Giask to lose faith in the ability of the Lurians to maintain control of the city. The King's failure to appoint a Duke prior to his abdication crippled the Lurian's ability to establish their own loyal local officials. Third, the rumoured colony expedition from Pian en Luries to Part Raviel would have reduced the ability of the Lurians to maintain their authority over the city, due to the lack of nobles to actively police the city. In any case, the loss of this exceptionally large and rich city will be a big setback for the Lurians. |

| Springdale forms a Colony |
March 10, 2008 |
| Word has reached Morek that the kingdom of Springdale has successfully established the first independent colony on Dwilight. The new realm, as yet unnamed, was formed in the stronghold of Valkyrja, far to the west of Springdale, by Jord Jorvik. This small island stronghold is situated on an island between the eastern and western subcontinents. No word has reached us of the form of government that will be used for the colony, or even the name under which it will be known. The new realm has attracted many nobles, with 12 having already joined in less than 2 days. |

March 6, 2008 |
| Ruler stepped down
Kaennji has stepped down from his position as ruler of Pian en Luries. He has given the following reason:
I have gotten a terrible illness and may indeed be dying. I do not want to take the risk of the realms leadership being idol. I step back now and resign, to let a healthier fulfill my role.(OOC:Will have very limited connection for the next few weeks)
King Kaennji has stepped down. Now the question is, who will replace him? |

| Problems in Pian? |
February 29, 2008 |
| News has recently reached us that there are some severe problems amongst the nobles in Pian en Luries. There has even been talk of a possible rebellion amongst the nobility. While the triggering event seems to have been a planned attempt by several nobles to found a new colony in Port Raviel, the root cause seems to be the dispute about command hierarchy in the kingdom. During the squabbling for power, King Kaennji Shenron questioned whether Royal Arbitrator Anna Vasata even had noble blood, as he was of the opinion that only a peasant could hold the views she had espoused. The Royal Arbitrator responded to this insult by challenging Kin Shenron to a duel to the death, which the King refused. Such an act of cowardice by the King sparked an extensive series of protests among the nobility of Pian en Luries. Will this internal conflict lead to a rebellion against the king, as we saw in Springdale? Or will the discontented nobles leave the realm with those headed to Port Raviel to create a new realm? |

| Expansion Proceeding Well |
February 14, 2008 |
| As the days go by, all four of the organized realms of Dwilight are expanding rapidly. While Madina is the only realm to have captured a city, Fissoa, Springdale has captured to stronghold of Nifelhold. Morek has captured six rural regions and a townsland, bringing their total regions to ten, making them the largest realm, both by region count and a tally of population. New nobles continue to arrive on Dwilight on a daily basis. The rate of growth will no doubt slow eventually, but that day seems far off in the future. |
