Haelynir 567

Medoere:
Trouble in the north of the kingdom has eased a bit over the last few wee=
ks
with the spiders forces pulling back a bit from their attacks into northe=
rn
Caerwil. Many believe though that the wild weather currently being experi=
enced
in Medoere is more likely to be responsible for slowing the Spider's forc=
es.
The Regent of Medoere has yet to be located, although rumours place him
somewhere in Avanil, maybe in Anuire City. =


Roesone:
The Baron is still of somewhere in Avanil on important business, the king=
dom
still runs smoothly though, thanks to several messages arriving from Avan=
il by
messenger recently, including a very large package which according to my
Sources was found to contain a carpet. In other news a group of about 100=
- -130
Dwarves passed through Roesone recently, they were said to be heading eas=
t to
join up with others of their kind.

Diemed:
The Baron Diem has been in eastern Diemed over the last two weeks, beginn=
ing
the construction of a new fortress to guard against attacks coming from
Roesone or
Diemed. The Baron is believed to be very worried about the recent increas=
e in
armies over the border, especially considering the current depletion of D=
iemed
forces. In other news the groups of armed mercenaries scouring the land f=
or
some unknown reason have virtually disappeared. Many were seen heading ei=
ther
north or west from Diemed.

Endier:
Peace has returned to Endier this month, for some unknown reason the Ghoe=
re
forces did not continue their attack into Endier, although some have
speculated that the urgent messages sent between Endier and Mhoried may h=
ave
had something to
do with the reluctance of Ghoere forces to continue their campaign. Still=
the
war has cost Endier a lot in both resources and manpower. Nearly 400 Endi=
er
born soldiers were killed, and almost all of Adu El-Hadid's imported troo=
ps
perished. There is a massive cleanup campaign currently underway in north=
ern
Endier to bury all of the rotting bodies left over from the massive battl=
e
that took place there. In other news several heavily armed caravans have =
been
seen heading north west in Alamie. The caravans consisted of horses and c=
arts
loaded with several large chests, and guarded by tough looking soldiers.

Imperial City:
A large five ravaged a large portion of the poorer region of Anuire this =
month
after anunnamed cleric used a fire based spell in a battle between his pa=
rty
and a group of ruffians. The cleric disappeared form the city and has yet=
to
be located. The Imperial Legion has posted a reward of 1000gp for any
information leading to the arrest of this cleric.
In other news a Medoere navy vessel limped into the imperial city last we=
ek,
the captain report an attack by a large, heavily outfitted galleon under =
a
pirate banner. This came as a surprise to Avanil navel forces who report =
last
year that all of the large pirate vessels sailing in the straights were h=
unted
down and either captured or destroyed.

Avanil:
Tension continue to remain high between Boeruine & Avanil after their rec=
ent
war. Several units of Avanil forces have been seen heading west into Taeg=
has
over the last few weeks and many a wondering if this move could indicate =
a
renewal of hostilities between Avanil & Boeruine.
In other news the Avanil authorities are seeking information about the mu=
rder
of 12 royal guardsmen in Caulnor province two weeks ago. The guardsmen we=
re
found
still sitting on their horse with both horse and soldiers frozen where th=
ey
stood.
It is unknown what caused this tragedy but the Authorities believe it was=
due
to the actions of a wizard or priest, rather that some horror from the sh=
adow
world.

Spiderfell:

believed more forces are heading north from the Gorgon's lands.

Trouble has erupted between Mhoried and Ghoere, with both kingdoms sendin=
g
forces to their borders. It is believed that the recent loss of large num=

Ghoere soldiers in the disastrous Endier campaign has given the regent of=

Mhoried an opportunity to curb Ghoere expansionist plan for the moment an=
y
way.

Several villages have been plundered in Avanil & Taeghas recently. A forc=
