The Western Imperial Temple used the brunt of this month to launch a special project
to help the ill favoured, poor and sick in Anuire.
The priests walked around in several realms and helped the people as best as they saw fit.
The People was grateful for this, and agreed that none of the other Haelyn organisations
have shown to have anything near the same compassion as WIT has.
Some people in nearby Diemed even grumbled about if WIT operated there, maybe they
too could get a little more hand fast help in their everyday life.

ITH opened up a new shrine in Caerwil this month. They also agitated on the behalf of the Baroness.

Erntenir 6th:
As soon as the priests of ITH had stopped beating loyalty into the minds of the Bellams, they started
grumbling about how unfair Marlae treats them, but the stout watchmen in the area kept a close
watch over any gatherings and kept any grumbling to the minimum.

The Goblins of Markazor continued with fortifying Rivenspring, and started a new one in Brushfire.

Erntenir 12th:
Gavin Tael oversaw the improvements of some of his castles.

Erntenir 13th:

Although some had been disbanded a few days hence.

Erntenir 14th:
ITH continued build on their palass. Several people has mumbled that this shows how currupt ITH
has become.

Erntenir 16th:
An assasin manage to sneak into Prince Avans bedchamber, and backstab Prince Avan.
Now Avan is hardly a normal man, and while he dagger was in his back, and poison was seeping
into his body, he tok hold of the assasins arm, and broke it, before he produced a dagger of his
own and planted in the throat of the assasin.

After reciving aid, Prince Avan called some of his advisers and some representatives from Princes
Pride to himself. Apperently he set together a taskforce to find out who was behind the attack on
himself.

Erntenir 17th:

the whole succession thing is something that will prove a problem.
Wizards have ruled Ilien for almost 1100 years and now no prominent wizard is there
to step up on the throne. Conviniently Rogr have made a will incase he had an accident,
or one of his magic tests went wrong.

The Ilien Senate call in all the senators to review the will, and to discuss any repercussions
of such a will.

Erntenir 23rd:
The army from Overland/Highland Traders moved out from Mhoried.
They then tried to start rebuilding the shops, and warehouses that the Mhor had burnded down.
But all of the workers who had been hired to do the work, was called to Bevaldruor to renew
their work permits, so none of the buildings where rebuilt this month.

Arch-Duke Boeruine was reported to have a little talk with Alam. The next day the Alamian army
moved back from Mhoried.

Erntenir 26th:
The Princes Pride decided that the Imperial City deserved the best god available, and not to
mention on time. They claimed that latly secondrate goods had drifted down the river,
and usually a week after when order should have been met.
So in the interest of all, the Princes Pride brought in lots of new goods to replace those that
Maesil Shippers had to offer.

Sehnir 3rd:
Rhoubhe Manslayer raided Nentril.

Sehnir 4th:

ITH recruited some of the followers who used to be members of the RCS. They also build another temple
dedicated to Haelyn in the northern parts of Caercas.

Sehnir 7th:
Michael Mhoried led Mhorieds forces into Periltrees. Although the army Mhoried led was very competent,
a large part of those in Periltrees where experienced Dwarves, which made it a long and bloody battle.
Michael was jumped by several of the enemy, and after a heroic fight by Michael, he was killed.
Or so it seemed. In the late evening reinforcements came from Elinie, and they made mincemeat out of
the enemy. The priest representing LPA went and called for Avanis help. And a miracle happened.
Michael rose, seeminly unharmed beside a nasty scar in his throught.

Sehnir 8th:
The Guildermaster of Taeghas was kidnapped. Pirats was raiding the coast of Taeghas,
and the Guildmasteris reported to be captured by these.
Count Khorien was far from happy hearing the news about the disaperence of his friend,
so he went to his study and started using his magics to find out where Sloere where at this time.
What Count Khorien discovered where that Guildmaster Sloere was in Mieres.

Emmanir 10th:
Hearthland Outfitters brought a lot of new interesting wears down from Endier City to the Imperial City.
That they where the kind that Maesil Shippers used to sell, and that they sold it cheaper helped
to drive out Maesil Shippers from the Imperial City. Maesil Shippers local representative had the
following to say: "when two guilds like the Princes Pride, and the Hearthland Outfitters start using
such unsportmanship methods, we the honorable ones are the ones who have to suffer for it".
The life in the Imperial City went on as nothing had happened though.

Emmanir 15th:
Prince Avan publicated his findings about who was behind the kidnapping of Taeghas Outfitters
Guildmaster.
After Count Khorien had found out that the Guildmaster, Prince Avans investigators soon could
find out where Fasciele Sloere where. At the same time as the annoncements where made a large
Avanise fleet with several hundred soldiers where crossing the Strait of Aerele.
The herald of Avanil had the following to say:
" Eloele of Mieres are behind several hidious crimes, and the most honorable and kind Prince
Avan has decided that decent people shouldn't have to be bothered by such an organization.
The priests and the dedicated followers of Eloele of Mieres has 3 days to pack their things and
get the hell out of Mieres, and any other realm under the guidence of his Highness.
Any goods, building and papers left behind in EOM will be consficated by the state as soon as the
3 days has expired, and any priests who against better judgement haven't vacated Mieres, will be
hanged after a brief trail."

Emmanir 18th:
The Avaniese army, helped by the few soldiers in Mieres' employ, seized all buildings though to
have any connections with EOM. Some people was hanged soon after.
The body of Taeghas Outfitters Guildmaster was found in one of these buildings, obviously bloodthefted.
After finding out this Prince Avan is said to have vowed that "any EOM scum seen by any of my loyal
followers are to be killed on sight".

Emmanir 19th:
ITH got more followers in the Chimeron. Of course some commented that they have so many followers
because those comming to hear the sermons get paid. But then again it must just be evil slander.

Emmanir 20th:
The Baroness of Roesone had several persons deported from the province of Bellam.
Obviously the Baroness didn't like that some people questioned her ability to rule.

Emmanir 21st:
Overland/Highland Traders has been spreading inside Osoerde. They opened up a new shop
in Moergan this month. To us it seems they are posing themselves for making control of
the rest of the trade in Osoerde.

Emmanir 23rd:
The Temples in Mieres had a field day. ETN and VOM both gathered up some of the followers
that used to venerate Eloele. And WIT started preaching about how the people should
turn their face against teh light, and seek redemtion.

Rumours:
Storm Holtson has gained almost an trade monopoly as the last hold of his major competitor was removed
this season.

Rhoubhe Manslayer managed to get several useful magic things from the elven castle in Boeruine.
That he4 managed to get these have helped him be more effective in his raids.
Several domains in the western half of Anuire has talked about doing something with the Manslayer
once and for all.

Coeranys has as good as fallen. Only a miracle can make Duchess Cariele sit on the throne of Coeranys
much longer.

People in and around the area once under the name of the Five Peaks think its very strange that no one has
heard any more from the Eyeless One. Some speculate it has something to do with the new inhabitant
of the northern parts of the Five Peaks.

Talinie is very hard pressed by the goblins. The one reason they've manged to hold their ground is
by major suppoert from Boeruine. The Rumours say that Talinie and Thurazor has entered into
a state of Diplomacy to try to find an peaceful solution.

ITH is reported to be conserting with the Pirates.

Elinie has started looking into how to legal lay claim to the throne of Coeranys.

Most magics done north of the Southern Coast has had a nasty habit of going wrong this season.

Endier is slowly getting ready for a new try to wrest the throne of Mhoried to their cause.
