Headlines:

War continues to ravage Rohrmarch
The Mhor and Bradunnal Tuare proclaimed Heroes of the Empire
Diemed invades Mieres ?
ITH lose interest in LPA, turns against VoM instead

Early in the month of Erntenir:

The Gorgon's Army moved into Werthagen and occupied it. The People from Rohrmarch
gave little to no defence of this occupation. It seems most of the fighting spirit has been
broken. Most of what are left of people capable of fighting, has withdrawn to the southern
capitol.

Western Imperial Temple opened up a new shrine, after Duke Diem called for a more
diverse, and open religious fundation in Tier. While ITH condemed, and tried to oppouse
the move from WIT, other temples have said they are prepering to do the same.
WIT also said that they had no current plans for trying to gain more followers in Tier,
then what they have right now.

Gavin Tael donated 12 GB to the fund which where to oppouse the Gorgons forces in
Rohrmarch. People take this as yet another proof that Gavin Tael really is a peace loving
man, and that the other things said about him are just slander from realms are just want
to expand on Ghoeres expence. Like Mhoried.

Boeruine is said to belive he's as good as invisible on the field of battle. Then again who
can gainsay him ?  His latest manover was to bring together a small army, but experienced
army, and march them right into the center of Thurazor, where the goblins could get
reinforcements from every corner. Even so Aeric Boeruine, and his men bit from themselves
hard. The goblins threw a large war host against the Arch-Duke, but he held his ground for
a week, then after the second week backed out of Thurazor to resuply.

In Brosengae things are finally back to normal. The Law officials are now numerous enough
to handle all the incoming cases.

ITH gained more followers in Seaward, but so did VoM. A confrontasion is very likly to
happen in the near future.

Endier closed down a trade route which went between Ciliene and Endier.
Instead a new routes was made between Zikala, a realm in Khinasi, and Endier.

Arch-Bishop Adaeron moved an army brought together for the money donated
to the war fund, over to Rohrmarch.

Late in the month of Erntenir:

Prince Avan went up in the mountains to kill the trolls who have been raiding western
Avanil, and eastern Brosengae. Princes Pride also arranged, on behalf of the Prince,
for 25 GB to find its way to the Warfund.

Baroness Marlae Roesone was said to be lending lots of books, and studing on something.
Some say she's looking into if it's anyway anyone can prove that her upcoming child
is sired by Gavin Tael, instead of Vaesil Tael.

Overland/Highland Traders made a deal with the "free" guild in Osoerde.
They could happily annonce that they where permitted to join the grand guild.

The Spider River Traders opened up a trading post in Ilien.

ETN was granted 3 GBs from Guilder Kalien. Obviously Nesirie was so happy about
Kaliens move, that she let her blessings shower Caelcorwynn.

In Cariele the Orogs, and Gigants started to seidge the castles there. A few days after
the castles blew up, and the Orogs stormed the remains of them.

Boeruine Trading Guild started a trade war against Princes Pride in the Imperial City.
The Princes Pride produces a contract between BTG and PP, which clearly stated
that BTG would in no way try to interfere, or hinder any of PPs trade operations in
the Imperial City. BTG failed to make Princes Pride loose any grounds in the City.

El-Hadid gave his whole operation in Roesone over to Siele Ghoried, the other major
guild owner in Roesone.

A slaughter has happened in the Imperial Cairn. The former Duchess of Coeranys was
sitting there in house arrest, waiting for her trail. All of her servents, and the guards
watching her, was butchered. The Duchess herself are missing.

Early in the month of Sehnir:

Gorgons Army moved into Edel.

New lands was opened for development in Rhumannen.

Arch-Duke Boeruine was said to go for a little talk with Guilder Kalien.
Afterwards Endier gave the poor noble who was run down by Guilden Kaliens
people a noble title, and sent his family some money.

Elenie seems to be prepering to expand their borders. They have already
started to send in bandits into Coeranys to soften up the resistance.
It's said that Elenies thugs beat up and killed the poor law officials that was
under house arrest in Bogsend.

ITH started a major campaign to drive out VoM from Seaward. Seems ITH
plans to take down one organisation at a time, to gain more and more money.
Some people have started to grumble that parts of ITH are corrupt, and cares
nothing for the people.

After getting grips on matters, Arch-Bishop Adaeron send out scouts to find
out where the Gorgons army was located in Rohrmarch, and in what numbers.
After finding that out, he sent a small taskforce to try to retake Rohrgaard.
In the beginning things went well, but when the bad guys got reinforcements
from the north, things hit the fan.

Boeruine Trading Guild opened up one route, after closing down another.
They also started rebuilding some of the shops burned down by the goblins in
Winter's Deep.

Late in the month of Sehnir:

Spider River Traders opened up a new route in Roesone.

New law officials have been appointed in Cariele. Life goes on.

Early in the month of Emmanir:

Gavin Tael is said to have been in Mhoried again, helping the Mhor keep his realm
under control in his hours of need. It's also said that Michael Mhorieds wife,
Lady Aubrae, is missing.

The Law is 100% present in Brosengae now.

Elenies thugs brought parts of Bogsend under their rule. It seems Elenie had prior to
this all infiltraded parts of Bogsend.

Guilder Kalien opened up a few Trade routes in Diemed. The goods of one of the routes
are all bought by one man alone.

Late in the month of Emmanir:

Arch-Bishop Adaeron continued to help organize Anuires relife force to Rohrmarch.
Although Adaeron gave orders that the Anuireans should do nothing.
So in the first two weeks, the Gorgons Army used their time to consolidate their hold
on northern parts of Rohrmarch.
In the 3rd week, the Gorgons army made a two-pronged attack. They sent in units
from the Alklund, which they had occupied just days before, and from Friedlund.
Although in numbers the two armies was of the same size, it was generally known
that because of some of the more powerful beings under the Gorgons command,
their army was better. So the Anuireans thanked Haelyn that they had a mighty fort
to help their side. Even so things looked dark for the coming days.
As the battle started, a man with a long cape, two sword at his hips, and swords on
his upper arms, appereard between the two armies, and started hurling spells at
the Gorgons army while according to those standing in the front rank laughing.
The Arch-Bishop himself, a man though to have sharp sences, even though that
the laugh sounded like one from a women, or a young man.
While the battle was a bloody one, the Gorgons side met with heavy causties the first
hour due to the surpise of this mage, and withdrew their forces at the end of the day.

There where many heroic battles between some of the leaders of this army, which also
helped to dampen the mood of the whole thing.
And a few days after, the Gorgons troops hurled the remaining of the army against the
troops sitting in, and around the Nunkappel forts.

Boeruine Trading Guild tried again to lure the market away from Princes Pride,
but failed again. Lots of resources was wasted in this effort. Princes Pride was
said to only manage their hard resistence because of political backing by the Prince
himself.

The Spider River Traders built more shops in Abbatuor.

The offical Lieutenant of Mieres was found killed. Some speculate it was part of
the warfare rumoured to be going on between Mieres and Diemed.

The Laws of Cariele are again more fiercly kept. The Rumours say that the Laws
aren't quite the same as the once that Cariele used to have though.

Rumours:

*More priests can report to have had dark dreams. Some speculate that the evils of the world
  are slowly gaining the upper hand.
*Traders from the far east say that the realms there too have faced hard times.
*In the far north, there have been several skirmishes between some of the realms there.
*The Gorgon made an attack on Sielwode, but was pushed back.
*The Manslayer are said to have wished Fhilerwyn in Thuarhivel. The Ghellie Sidhe is said

*Prince Avan has been on a secret quest for over two months. Some are worried something
  might have happened to him.
*Osoerde has made a secret base, and are slowly building up their army.
*The leader of the Northern Imperial Temple, and Talinie is dead. Rumours say that the old
religious leader of NIT now runs the temple, while a person appointed by Boeruine was instated
as Thane of Talinie.
