| More Pain in the Far Southwest | August 12, 2009 | |
| Not long after our previous article concerning Ordenstaat's apparently rapid decay through this winter, the problems in our southern neighbor seem to have grown worse. Division between various religious elements, as well as pent-up Republican sentiment among many, has led to two simultaneous, and apparently successful, movements against the government of Ordenstaat. More specifically, initial sketchy reports indicate that the secession of Duke Zanaras Tian to form Silverfall is rooted both in Republican ambitions, as well as religious devotion, and internal squabbles within the Brotherhood, the elite body that rules over Ordenstaat. Yet it appears that, even as, Twainville secedes and the Brotherhood splinters, the general nobility of Ordenstaat are rising up victoriously against the Brotherhood's remaining members. We in Terran remain tense over the outcome of these affairs, and pray that, come springtime, there will be some human realm left in those lands to hold back the monstrous tides. Moreover, we continue to wish that we had an Ordenstaati reporter. | ||

| Ordenstaat in Trouble? | August 10, 2009 | |
| Recent events have led many in the southwest to fear that Ordenstaat may be on its last leg. From it's greatest extent last autumn, Ordenstaat has lost Twainwood, Nark, Thysan, and, if my memory serves me correctly, Kydonia as well. It has been kept alive apparently only by support from outside, such as from its generous allies in D'Hara and, to a lesser extent, Terran, and sparse reports from within the fledgling colony indicate that it is beset by internal division. Today marks midwinter here in the southwest; we have gotten only halfway through this dire season, and already Ordenstaat struggles. Duke Zanaras Tian is left alone in isolated Twainville, and we in Terran worry that our southern borders may again become the far-flung frontier of nobility in the southwest. However, the Moot's ability to report on Ordenstaat is limited, as we currently have no Ordenstaatian reporters: a condition which we dearly wish to remedy. Any who wish to report for The Moot are welcome to do so, and I hope to find out more in my diplomatic mission through the southwest this spring, after the roads have ceased being a slushy muck. | ||
