GUERRILLAS ASSIST YEWISH ASSAULT ON MINOC!!

A patrol of Guardsmen from the Yewish garrison of Stonekeep arrived at the foot of Mount Kendall last night with the intent of investigating rumours of slavery in the Vesper-owned state of Minoc. The minnow region of workers and tradesmen, annexed by it's yeoman neighbours in the wake of the last 'Minoc Campaign' has existed as "West-Vesper" since the war and the recent appointment of new mayor Reywal S Hallow is believed to have stirred up a number of resentful dissenters. A man notorious for his disparaging attitude towards the peasant classes, Hallow is believed to advocate tighter restrictions on his populace and it is little surprise that such tales of slavery and gypsy persecution have escaped the northern province since his coming to office.

Indeed, as the Yewish patrol was met by Vesper's militia, guarding the mines of Kendall, cries of "Minoc, not West Vesper!" joined the fray along with paramilitant arrows and the combination of Yewish tactics and rebel heart stunned the confident Vesperians into defeat. Signs of rebel activity was scarce in victory as the masked men returned to the shadows from whence they came, no doubt anxious of the stern Yewish left bemused by their participation.

Vesper's new Baron was amongst those driven back by the Yewish assault, Captain Bladius Dart and the Lord Protector Klion D'Gar amongst the elite combatants that broke his lines. The newly appointed official; a man with rumoured ties to piracy, drug smuggling and sexual debauchery; has been a controversial selection in the state and voices of unease in the Vesperian provinces have stressed concerns that gold, bribery and promised inflation of Militia wages tipped the popularity-contest of faux-democracy that saw Cocidius elected.

The man must be cursing his luck in the days gone past, as woeful timing has no doubt brought fresh concern to his office. If the Baron was expecting an easy ride, then a double-blow of Yewish interference and fresh Minocian "national" pride was most likely least of his desires.

Still, loyalists across the North will no doubt be concerned at fresh rebel rumblings - however small they may have seemed to be, though others will likely be alarmed as the rebels turn to fight each other.
