| Plague Strikes Aquilegia! |
December 30, 2009 |
| Letter from Bowie Ironsides |
| Message sent to : Message sent to the Rulers of Dwilight |
Royalty of Dwilight,
Our little realm of Aquilegia has been hit hard with a terrible plague. It has killed most of our Lords, our Cleric, our Duchess and worst of all our Emperor. I will be acting Emperor until things are sorted out. In our position of dire weakness I plea for mercy.
Archon Anabellium, until we can return to our current status, please agree to a ceasefire. Strangely enough, the reasons your realm is at war with mine died in the plague. We should discuss the subsequent terms in private.
To all Dwilight, pray for Aquilegia. In whatever heart I have, I hope that the three remaining with me do not succumb to the plague too. That would certainly kill the dream of Aquilegia worse than now.
I await the sunrise, |
| Bowie Ironsides (Acting Emperor,) |

| Aquilegia crumbles |
December 30, 2009 |
| Aquilegia has suffered a massive attack from persons yet unknown, and two thirds of its noble population has vanished or been killed. What lead to the disappearance of three councilors and a Duchess? Let us hope whatever fate befell them never occurs again. |

| Xinhai Triumphs! |
December 25, 2009 |
| Raivan Empire lost the region of Nidhogg's Mark, shortly after being defeated by Xinhai in Aegir's Deep. The Liberans and the Raivans could not muster a force large enough to beat back Xinhai from the Deep, and Aegir's Deep was conquered by Xinhai, leaving Raivan Empire gasping for survival. With the outcome of the war clear, and the region of Stratford being taken over by Xinhai, Libero Empire surrendered, accepting the generous peace treaty offered by Xinhai. Only time will tell the fate of the Raivan aggressors.
The terms of the treaty were:-
1. Hostilities will end between the Libero Empire and Xinhai
2. Relations between the warring parties will be raised to peace or higher
3. War will not be declared between the two parties for a minimum of 3 years
4. The Libero Empire will recognize Xinhaiese claims on the Muspel Territories |

A thing of beauty once created is gone forever and no longer belongs to its Creator
| Roleplay from Arden Fury |

 Treason within the Brotherhood A heavy and well-armed contingent of Royal Guards march through the woods of Rettlewood, the tromping of their boots flattening the grass and startling the peasants out of their daily routine. Out of respect they stood at attention unused to the sense of purpose, determination and destination that the soldiers displayed. They knew the soldiers weren't here to clear the region of monsters and the undead, who were by now a regular occurence and they took it as part of their lives. If they were, the soldiers would be less visible, less... single-minded in their steps. No, this was a Mission - one that Ordenstaat likely has never seen and probably never will again.
In the middle of the road out of Rettlewood the contingent came to a halt. They wait and watch with precise military discipline and patience honed by seasons of waiting. Soon, in the distance the rumbling wheels of a caravan are heard. Then a green flag bearing the image of a golden lion slowly comes into view. At this, the Royal Guards lower their eyes once in respect then raise them again as they await the Grand Master of the Brotherhood, the architect of Ordenstaat - Sir Milmice Vecchio Ratto.
The caravan comes to a slow stop in front of the contingent and a knight wielding a golden shield steps out and walks towards them. Before he can speak, Captain Stephan, the Royal Captain of the Royal Guard of Eternal Wrath takes two steps forward and unfurls a red scroll that extends to his knees. He looks once at the knight before him, nods then proclaims in deep and commanding tones:
Sir Milmice Vecchio Ratto -
Architect of Ordenstaat,
Founder of the Realm,
Grand Master of the Brotherhood,
By Order of the Royal Council:
You are hereby accused and condemned of the following crimes against Ordenstaat:-
- Insults & threats of murder against nobles
- Causing dissension and discord within the Brotherhood
- Portraying nobles as snakes and the leachers of your dreams
- Attempts to subjugate Ordenstaat with the influence of St. Iestyn
- Attempts to force a noble into exile by reason of personal vendetta
- Secretly joining the underground and conspiring to overthrow the realm
- False allegations of chaos, heresy, daimonic influence & numerous others
- Attempts to usurp the authority of the realm council and retake council positions
- Secretly poisoning the minds of nobles with false accusations through private letters
Captain Stephan rolls up the scroll and draws his sword in one swift motion of fury, raising it to the heavens. In a clear voice he declares with utter conviction and truth, and the words ring through the hills:
A thing of beauty once created
Is gone forever
And no longer belongs to its Creator.
Ordenstaat is that thing of beauty.
It no longer belongs to its Founders
But to all who would call it... their home.
"Sir Milmice," Captain Stephan addresses him for the final time. "We will escort you out of Ordenstaat."
"May your gods have mercy on your soul." |

| Twin Empires vanquished |
November 30, 2009 |
| Responding to Raivan Empires aggressive take over of Nimh, the armies of Xinhai marched into Croton, and began assimilating its populace, while at the same time, trying to retake Nimh. Libero Empire had just finishing refitting, and Raivan Empire had gathered a large host in Aegir's Deep. The stage was set for a conflict between all three powers, The battle of Croton. Xinhaian scouts detected a massive force, of over a thousand warriors approaching Croton from both White Plains(LE) and the Deep(RE). The forces in Croton were trapped. Xinhai abandoned the takeover of Nimh, sending all its warriors toward Croton. They set up defenses, awaiting the onslaught at dawn. The battle was bloody, and lasted three hours. However, it ended in a decisive victory for Xinhai, once again. Battle report available in the comments. |

| Libero Empire crushed |
November 23, 2009 |
| In a surprise assault last week, The twin "empires" of Raiva and Libero invaded Xinhai, immediately starting a take over of the lands of Bohai and Nimh. They claim that they are protecting their ally, Aquilegia, from Xinhai, the purported aggressors. It is quite clear that the empires are only seeking to expand their territories, as they were not allied with Aquilegia until after the Xinhai-Aquilegia war began, and to take advantage of the weakness of Xinhai. Xinhai faced a three front war, one with Libero Empire, one with Raivan empire, and yet another with the Aquilegians. However, they bravely fought these odds, and crushed the entire army of the Liberans, in the greatest battle these lands have seen, forcing them to beat a hasty retreat back to Springdale. The battle report is available in the comments. |
