Current News Monster Attacks In Sullenport 19 January 2007 (Stargard) by Jordan Hewson Two monster hordes attacked Sullenport today, with one of the attacks being made by only eight undead! Still More Trouble in Darka 17 January 2007 (Stargard) by Dabug Habap The fallout from the appointment of Vatticus Vashmere as Marshal of the Home Guard Army continues. Two more Darkans who opposed the appointment, Fade Kimura and Manic D'Saferate were banned and Fade was slated for execution. Both were accused on trumped up charges of treason by Arch Priestess Lady Lavigna. Fade stated in his defense that he had been ordered to investigate underground activities. Apparently, publishing his objections to the appointment of the fool as a Marshal embarassed Lavigna and her minions far more than they could bear. Apparently, no disagreement or objection to the tyrannical rule of Darkanism is tolerated in the realm of sell-swords. All freedom-loving men and women should weep at the continuing string of injustices. Perhaps their obvious impotence afield drives them to executions at home. Fortunately, Lavigna concurrently announced that she will not be executing any more infiltrators. One wonders which of the Darkans on the bounty board would provoke an execution and which one will be next to fall.... Kostaja Kosunen Bounty: 500 gold Lavigna 200 gold Herumor 150 gold Vatticus 100 gold Fingo 50 gold Amancair 50 gold Party in Stargard 16 January, 2007 - Dielo It all started when the High Marshal announced a masquerade to be held at his manor in Stargard to celebrate Da Holiday of Da Lesser Saint Sandieno. Many nobles showed up in costumes of goats, dragons, Darkans and Estonites; the host was even seen wearing a pair of tights that were supposed to be in high fashion in Abington. However, the party quickly turned to insanity. Between a king dressed as a peasant and arrested for stealing the king's invitation, a person impersonating the Count of Ambermel while the Count of Ambermel was present, the Count of Ambermel's disgruntled wife, and a completely incompetent guard, Stargard has not seen such an odd celebration in some time, and likely will not again for a while. Pesky Rogue 14 January, 2007 - Dielo In the last few days, there has been a rogue troopleader looting the regions of Upperfell and Atblane. For reasons unknown, Redspan's armies have been unable to engage this enemy, even when given orders to attack to kill anyone who is not from Redspan. The man is a former Carelian troopleader who was banned for attacking peaceful realms only a few days ago. A Redspanian infiltrator was able to place a knife in the man's chest, leaving him seriously wounded. Perhaps he will get the message to stop stealing what isn't his. Undead And Monster Attacks: The Work Of Rosegarden Guy! 11th January 2007 Recently there have been a number of attacks from the Undead and Monsters that roam the lands. Minor skirmishes have resulted in the peasants getting a bit scared of the new threat. Although the Redspan forces have outdone themselves again, beating the rogue elements time and again, but Undead don't die like normal humans, you have to hack and stab them much more often. These aren't the only cases of attacks, reports from the other realms show an increase in attacks. Is Atamara turning into the new Beluaterra? --Article written by Tony Trouble in Darka 10 January 2007 (Stargard) by Dabug Habap In a surprisingly frank letter to the leaders of all the realms in Atamara, Count Yeti Elder revealed his distaste for what he calls a "farce of a religious realm" and his desire "for the chance to prove myself to another realm." Apparently, he had protested the appointment of Vatticus Vashmere, an untested warrior who shows signs of mental imbalance, as Marshal of an Army. He charged that Darka "sells the souls of its nobles and peasants to the highest bidder" and that it rewards "the ability to sweet talk only those in power" rather than "loyalty and service". Yeti had been threatened after his protest by other Darkans, including a priest of the fatally flawed cult, Darkanism. As revealed in the January issue of the Volcanic Hot Newsletter, Yeti was banned by Arch Priestess Lady Lavigna with a charge of "High Treason" for insulting "Darka and its leaders directly" continent-wide. Rebellion? 9 January, 2007 (Stargard) - Dielo Today in Stargard, King Tony Malone announced that the names of seven Redspanians were known as members of the rebel movement. All members of the rebellion were invited to turn themselves in within the day to be pardoned from banishment. The Butter Rebellion Named 4 January 2007 (Foda) by Dabug Habap While travelling, I have heard the opportunity to learn more about the world around us. Last month, One Rogala had purchased the role of Duke of Tarasac when Zadar Nargath left to found The Order. What followed is being spoken of as the Butter Rebellion among people in the Cagilan Empire. While launching his rebellion, One taunted the gods with his realm's name and through various instruments, they struck him down. Now, we have a name for his madness. Vacationing in Tara 4 January 2007 (Foda) by Dabug Habap The Tarans have avoided me in Foda. As I walk down the street, peasants turn away, walk on the other side of the street or stand mute and immobile. It seems not a welcoming place for a Redspanian. While drinks can be had, one must often drink alone and in silence. The smells of this wooded country are not at all like those of our homeland. The people reek of perfume and soap. Tournament in Hawthorne 3 January, 2007 Eston's tournament in Hawthorne ended today. 384 representatives from all realms showed up to compete, including 12 from Redspan. The swordfight was won by Cloud of Cagilan Empire over Trevor of Falasan, and the joust was won by DrSceptre of Barony of Makar over Gregor of Falasan. Moses, Duke of Wor'ight announced to those present that there would be an upcomming tournament of swords in his city. --Dielo New Year Dawns 2 January 2007 (Meldeen) by Dabug Habap The new year has dawned, but there is still no sign of Darka. While they may have no honor, they do have unlimited supplies of patience. Revenge, I suppose, is best served when someone else can get around to paying for it. Pick your poison 1 January 2007 (Stargard) by Dabug Habap The evening's celebrations appear to have prompted RedSpanian nobles to publish a guide to their favorite drinks.

Comments for this month Tony's Comments Getting arested as a peasent? Oh yeah...I remeber that party...just. Shamus's Comments (Edited 1/20/07) Abington and ASI have long been at odds over "The Islands", each claiming them as their own. Much blood has been spilled between them over these lands. I find it sad that when ASI was given the chance to (finish making) things right between our two realms by selling us Rogeshore, they would not even consider an offer. Please look to your past Islanders and (finish your good deed). Dielo's Comments Until I think of something better to say for this month, I resent being referred to as an old man, or a young goatling. Dabug's Comments Two months to the day after the declared war, Darka still shows no signs of having meant anything by it. They still hide in their mother's skirts, afraid of RedSpan and her allies.
