Repulsive rebels attack farmers!
Then lie to cover their behinds..




Reading through the Covians 'story' it seemed a little fishy, so I sent Jack Bing in to investigate! The real version of events lies below.

Yesterday evening the Covian rebels stooped to a new low. Being hard pressed on all fronts and in desperate need of supplies they have started to rob and steal from their very peasentry and even their allies. The first incident was brought to us by the "Southern Liberation Front", a group of Covian peasents who have been attacking their own town guardsmen. Having taken their virtual enslavement for so long they have now risen and struck back at their oppressors. Armed only with the tools of their various trades the people of Cove have crippled various parts of the Covians military and economy.

The second incident was a lot more sinister. Some of the Covians had stripped the clothes from the handful of dead SLF they had managed to slaughter, donning their disguises they waited on the road between Vesper and Minoc, awaiting their victims. Eventually a small group of Vesperian farmers came into view, leading their packhorses towards Minoc in order to sell their crops at market. The disgusied Covians then halted the farmers, blocking their path. When they believed the farmers were thoroughly distracted a large unit of Covian guardsmen hurtled from either side of the road, descending on the poor group of farmers.

However the farmers weren't taking it lying down. Forming up in a tight group around the goods they had worked so hard to grow they set their pitchforks and shovels and laid into the murderous rebels. The Yewish Guardsmen had gotten wind of the ambush, marching on the double to try and save the farmers lives, however they weren't quite fast enough, arriving as the fight was finishing, but they descended on the remaining Covians like a storm.

Most of the farmers survived and gave the covians a good kicking! What new low will the Covians reach? Attacking their allies and peasentry? Will they field child soldiers perhaps? Or maybe threaten to kill the families of those that do not fight? Or perhaps they will shoot their own men as they flee from combat.

Thank you Jack - G.G


Rescue Attempt Gone Wrong!
Failed rescue attempt resulting in major bloodbath - Sent in from an unknown source

VALORIA, October 19: Valorian Mayoress Kidnapped - failed Rescue Attempt resulting in major bloodbath.

On October 10th several Kidnappers abducted the Mayoress, Lady Tussi de Luxe (32), on her way home from the Sword & Shovel Tavern.

A ransom note was posted in serveral public places, demanding 50,000 goldcoins and 100 valorite ingots as ransom.

Yesterday night, a rescue team of brave Valorians and Associates travelled to the Brigands Fort to pay the demanded ransom.

After tenacious negotiations about the release, mayhem ensued with the cause unknown. A valorian citizen reported that the leader of the rescue team refused to hand the ransom over to the kidnappers: "Aye, it was pretty obvious that the kidnappers were not going to play games. That Lady was tied tightly to a tree and the one who shouted orders had his axe disturbingly close to her."
After arguing for some time whether the ransom or Lady Tussi is to be handed over first, the kidnappers lost their patience and put that axe to use.

The following battle, brief but nontheless brutal, resulted in several badly wounded people - including two kidnappers and their hostage.

The former hostage, relieved to be alive, was carried back to her House and is still recuperating from the ordeal. Meanwhile the temper of the Valorian people is very agitated - the cries for revenge are getting louder, demanding posting a bounty for the vile brigands. It is the hope of the Valorian Citizens that the Mayoress will be able to give a full description of her terrible ordeal and the evil perpetrators to bring them to justice.


Undead Attack!
Seems noones safe from the walking dead..

With reports of undead swarming around the lands of Sosaria it was no surprise when I heard news of yet another attack, this time in Yew.

The walking dead rampaged through the town, tearing apart all that crossed their path, before launching an attack on Stonekeep. The Guards there reported that the attacks had become more frequent of late, and that the undead force is rapidly growing.

Theres been many stories of people passing by or through the crypts to give their respect to deceased loved ones and coming out in a rather different form to that they went in. Death tolls seem to be rising rapidly, and many that have passed seem to be walking around again..

Where are they all coming from, what exactly is the cause of them all rising again? Noone knows.. but I suspect it's something big.

One things for sure..
If you go down to the woods today... avoid the crypts at all costs.


Kicking Kaldorians!
The Kings' Land!
News received from reporter Tina Tattle in Serpants Hold

Yesterday evening a campaign began to regain the Island of Serpent's hold. The Royal Marksman Regiment under the Command of Captain Devante Stirling and The Britannia Guard under the command of Captain Esmeralda took control of the Garrison on the Eastern shore of the North Island.

Soldiers and Wytches of the Khaldorian army attempted to expel the Loyalist forces on no less than two occasions, but the position was bravely held by The Royal Marksmen and Britannian Guard. The Rebels realising the day was lost retreated, intelligence suggests they now occupy the area around the docks.

Loyalist soldiers are now 'dug in' at the Garrison and in the coming days will rally thier forces and attempt to regain once loyalist land from the clutches of the evil Rebels.

Well done to our brave Lad's (and lasses); Food aid and weapons are currently being assembled ready for shipment to Serpent's Hold once the dock area has been secured. Any letter's of support for our brave soldiers will be gratefully received.

For King and Country!
Long live the King!




Rumours

Suspected Assasins - Written by Tina Tattle
Two suspicious characters were seen lurking around Stonekeep last night. One of them is a self confessed assassin! The Guardsmen questioned them at some length, and came to the conclusion that they were likely there on 'business'.

After no more ado, two of the Guardsmen attempted to arrest the assassin and her accomplice, a chase ensued and the Footmen successfully repelled the any possible trouble. So loyal are the Guardsmen they even chased one of the suspects halfway accross Sosaria.

Rumour's abound that the intended victim may have been none other than Klion D'Gar!




Whatever happened to?

Whatever happened to..

Valura and the Outcasts of Eldamar?

Witch Valura was once quite a common [if uncommon] sight around the island town of Vesper. Though shrouded in mystery and hidden in the darkest places of Felucca Eldamar itself is rumoured to hold many of the secrets of immortality and longevity. It was from Eldamar also that the infamous Indrazearo stalked the lands of Trammel. Eventually turning over a new leaf and joining Muldran Skully's Shadowcourt.

It was to Eldamar also that the mysterious being known simply as "Mirror" was sent by evil green-haired Muldran as some sort of punishment to spend its life imprisoned within Valura's castle of Deceit.

Valura, Mirror and the Outcasts of Eldamar have not been seen for many a long year ... any news please send care off the Morning Poste!
