Duchy Captain home! Kaldor Vipers torture Kaelyn!
Missing Duchy guard captain, Kaelyn, was finally freed last night after almost a week in captivity. Concerns were raised over her whereabouts after she failed to show up for guard duty last Thursday, but a quick search revealed that she was not at her home, nor had she taken anything with her.
Her whereabouts was finally discovered earlier this week by a patrol of Yewish Waywatchers, who spotted the guard captain whilst mounting a daring rescue to free Danifae D'Gar who had also been kidnapped.
Kaldor Viper captain, Talon, dressed as a brigand, was seemingly in charge of the kidnappings, swiftly handed the two women over to the Guardsmen, rather than risking his neck when confronted by the guardsmen and the White Eagle mercenaries. Lady Danifae was fortunately unharmed, but the Duchy captain was barely alive.
Kaelyn, one of the most popular members of Trinsic’s guard force, had been badly beaten and had three fingernails ripped out during her time with the Kaldorians. She had also developed a fever after a wound became infected, and was left close to death for several days.
The Yewish guardsmen unsure what to do with the Duchy captain, daring not to return her until she was in better health incase the Kaldorians took to beating her again, looked after her in the safety of their cells.
It’s even said the Yewish offered her baptism, and welcoming to the avatarian church. It was during a period that they took her out for some light exercise to help with her recovery that the evil doing Kaldorians jumped out and attacked the Yewish, dragging Kaelyn off with them. It’s heard she was returned to Trinsic half dead and badly beaten.
She is now recovering at an undisclosed location, let us hope that Trinsic intends to bring those responsible to justice.
From wars to weddings Former enemies wed in secret
By Post Correspondant, Roger Kilbride
The Army of Kaldor and the Royal Marksmen may have put aside their personal war in order to concentrate on defending Trinsic, but one starry-eyed couple are hoping the alliance will last. Kaldor Viper captain, Talon, and Marksmen quartermaster, Elise, wed in a secret ceremony in Nujel’m several nights ago, following what can only be described as a whirwind romance.
The couple, who met during Elise’s short imprisonment in Strongholt, revealed their relationship last night to their surprised comrades who, up until this weekend, were engaged in a bitter war over Serpent’s Hold.
In spite of this, few seemed displeased by the news, including Elise’s former fiancé, Captain Devante Stirling. The only criticism levelled against the couple was from a few individuals disappointed not to have been invited to the wedding.
Still, never mind! Commander Soulshadow must be due another wedding soon, now that her divorce from Sergeant Mordred has been finalised. Men of Sosaria, run for your lives!
Yew town ransacked! Yewish suffer once again...
Sent in by A Freelance Reporter
Last eve we heard news that Yew town was attacked by invaders from the high seas! While out on a sea patrol the guardsmen militia were forced to open fire with their cannons as a boat full of angry looking cutthroats attempted to board the two militia ships! After a nasty battle the guardsmen militia landed their ships and retreated to the center of Yew town! Lucky for the citizens of Yew, the militia managed to fend off the would be raiders and held their ground. Perhaps the militia is more suited to land warfare and should keep their feet firmly on the ground? It is believed that the brigands of the fort are behind this attack as there have been a number of skirmishes between them and the militia recently. Beware citizens, traveling in Yew these days can be a deadly task!

Adverts MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS! Quote:
War is inescapably upon us all, no matter our politics, our towns are being drawn into another conflict of ‘Noble’ cause. Unsatisfied with a quiet life, two behemoths of the royal court have rallied you, their people, for a large and bloody game of chess to muse them this cold, Avatarmas-season. In this time of war it is vital that you, the people of Britannia, remain astute and perceptive. In this time of war it is vital that you, the people of Britannia, know your enemy!
Your enemy is not the footmen of the Yewish militia!
Your enemy is not the soldier of the Duchy guard!
Your enemy is not even the men and women of Kaldor!
These honest souls are your comrades and brethren, my brothers and sisters!
Our enemies are the merchants of spin and propaganda that fill our notice boards, our streets and our Poste! The whips of the manipulative Duke Irvyn will have you believe your brothers and sisters in Yew are zealotous plebeians and barbarians! And no more innocent are the deceptive and impious words of the wretched Lord D’Gar who paint your Trinsician comrades as demon-loving heathens and hedonist swines! Take heed of their games, children of our continent, and distrust their lies! Disbelieve the pamphlets of Trinsic! Distrust the posters of Yew! De-value the corrupt words of the Morning Poste! Question even this very parchment, though it contains no lies my honest brethren!
Let no lie push you, the free people, into conflict this Avatarmas-season! I have drunk ale with the Guardsmen of Yew, I have shared whiskey with the free men of Vesper and Trinsic and I have raised my glass even to the men of Kaldor! Demons were none of these!
Raise your hammer, raise your scythe and raise your fist! The people of our land are free to choose their fate, let no propaganda shackle you!
Bless you all my brethren this festive season!
