The Fall of Melodia?	June 20, 2008
Reports came in about an hour ago that the city of Paisly, Melodia's capital and last remaining region, has revolted and joined the realm of Madina, the populace no doubt agitated by daimonic attacks. And so it seems that Melodia, once a proud realm consisting of five regions along the southeastern coast of Dwilight's western island, is no more, another lost colony succumbing to the malignant forces of Dwilight.

Daimonic Forces Attack Melodia	June 17, 2008
Rumours have been growing lately of the presence of daimonic forces roaming the western subcontinent of Dwilight. Several weeks ago, some explorers reported the presence of odd creatures in the vicinity of Volcano Nightscree. These started as just traveler's tales, and were generally dismissed as such. But recent reports indicate that there may have been some truth to them. Two days ago reports arrived from Paisly, the capital of Melodia, carrying more tales of fiendish creatures. The city of Paisly is apparently under assault by two groups of these creatures. Messages from General Akeela, the general of the rapidly shrinking realm, indicate that two separate forces of these "netherworld" creatures are ravaging the country side and marching on their capital. General Akeela reports that these creatures hail from the small city of Nightmarch, on the south-eastern slopes of Volcano Nightscree. So far we have not spoken directly with anyone who has seen these creatures with their own eyes. But the profusion of third-hand accounts and spreading stories indicates that there may be a kernel of truth here somewhere.

The Expansion of Religion	June 11, 2008
Word has reached the temple of Sanguis Astroism in Libidizedd of the official founding of a new religion upon the continent of Dwilight. The fledgling religion is known as Magna Aenilia Ecclesia. Sorting through the many rumours that flow across the docks Libidizedd reveals that the new religion was formed by the King of Verus Luria and Duke of Poryatown, Kaennji Shenron. With the formation of the religion in Poryatown, King Kaennji has stepped down from both of his positions as Duke of Poryatown and King of Verus Luria. While Magna Aenilia Ecclesia is new to the continent of Dwilight, it is apparently a large and well-established faith on the Far Eastern continent. The connection of Kaenji Shenron to the faith is unclear. Also unclear is why he chose now, so soon after his secession from Pian en Luries as the time to found this apparent extension of the faith. The realm of Verus Luria is foundering under the mass exodus of nearly his entire duchy and all it's nobles back to Pian en Luries. Verus Luria has no ruler, no judge, and no general, and now it also has no Duke.

Verus Luria	June 4, 2008
There were likely many who wondered just how long Lurian power would last, and they have just found out. Duke Kaennji Shenron, a former King of Pian en Luries himself, has just recently declared his duchy's secession from the realm of Pian en Luries in the following message: My Friends in Pian en Luries, Today is grave day. Today duchess Marie was removed from her own position as Duchess of Askileon and embarassed in front of everyone. This realm has become insecure, unsafe and corrupt. Queen Alanna and Arbitrator Finegus have too little understanding of the feudal system we live by and have ultimately disrespected. They have becom corrupt with power. Pian en Luries has failed. Thus it will have to be replaced. Today Verus Luria shall stand. Yours, Kaennji Shenron Duke of Poryatown This single move by the Royal Duke has literally split the strength of Pian en Luries in two, with nearly half of the realms nobility now under command of Verus Luria, and even the Royal Arbitrator Finegus O'Shea himself included among them.
