Old Rancagua Press/1st June 2006/News Report

June 1 - Possible Peace in Sight?

Let it be known that Old Rancagua is a not a realm which turns to war and destruction lightly, for we shall always attempt to find a peaceful solution before the blade is drawn. Earlier today, exiled King of the Kalmar Isles, Sir Prometheus crossed the borders of Stora and into the realm of Kalmar, widely known as New Avamar, for the first time since his expulsion several months ago.

The brutal rebellion of El Cid all those months ago is remembered as one of the darker events in the East Continent's history and is an event which has been denounced (although since capitalised upon) by the former Avamarian Government in Exile. In an act to reach a peaceful resolution, King Prometheus has agreed to meet with Avamarian Chancellor Lalakis in Stora to find a peaceful resolution to the situation at hand.

Hopefully, with Prometheus' reinstatement to his rightful place as the true ruler of Kalmar, the former Avamarians can finally make their transition to Kalmarians and reach peaceful relations with their neighbours to the east and south.

June 2 - Sirionites hail Handow

Yesterday, the Sirionites were forced to do something they had not done for many a year, and that was vote for someone else as the Prime Minister of Sirion. It is well known that the inestimable Doc has been the incumbent ruler (barring woundings and imprisonments etc.) of Sirion for longer than most in the East Continent can remember. However, with the destruction of Oligarch, Doc's work has been accomplished, and with his resignation from office, the incredibly successful former Minister of Defence for Sirion and Duke of Avamar, Lord Handow was voted into office with a staggering 42% of the vote.

However, Doc's legacy will continue as Sirion's war with the Southern Alliance will not cease until a peace, or a conquest of Perdan, Caligus and Ubent can be achieved. Handow has probably the largest shoes in history to step into with his new role, however with the guidance of his fellow Nobles and the headstrong mindset and honourable values which has made him so successful, the Press is sure that Handow will rule Sirion with vigor and usher in continued Sirionite prosperity.

June 2 - Tournament in Sirion tipped to be huge

The death of Oligarch has been the cause of much celebration and, with the resignation of their beloved leader Doc, the Sirionites decision to hold a tournament in his honour has become an instant success as friends and enemies alike flock to Sirion City for a tournament which is set to outstrip any other tourney that has been held on the East Continent in many years. Only too recently, Lycastus the Pontifex of the newly created realm of the Light of Fountain held a tournament within the confines of the city of Fontan. With 106 Nobles from around the continent vying for the honour, fame and glory of becoming the victor.

However from a recent count, the numbers already assembled in Sirion City, with a further 6 days to tourney day already match that of the tournament which Lycastus held. This early boom can provide us with a fair idea of how many Nobles will attend this tournament, and it is a number somewhere in the hundreds. All in all, this will truly be the send off of a Noble whose actions have shaken the very foundations of the East Continent, for this tournament will go down as one of the largest and most grandiose in the East Continent's history.
