| |
| − |
| |
| − | All is quiet in Carigsay this week, as the (relative) chill of winter brings the city to a standstill. Though several visiting merchants chuckle at the allegations of cold weather, insisting that the northern kingdoms are FAR more brutal this time of year.

| |
| − | ===Valdrdómr===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While those of the Fjarora region prepare for the harsh reality of a Northern winter, troops holding the banners of Prismatic Sovereignty have been seen in the territory. What will occur and whom will be victorious is anyone's guess. But as always the Valdrdomr, stand at the ready.

| |
| − | Noted "training" missions continue to continue and the forces seem to be growing larger in number, Sultan Sahure assures his people in the weekly meeting that this is "training". Though many are starting to feel that there may be more to as the surrounding boarders seem to be growing to the West with encampments.

| |
| − | ===Wardens of the Wilds===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | It seems as though the city of Carigsay has taken a cue from their slumbering god, for all is seemingly quiet this week. With Brighwell now under Wardens control, there is an increased stream of traffic and commerce between the two, but nothing out of the ordinary.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Bands of Wardens continue to patrol the western kingdom in the hopes of maintaining the peace, but with the trolls retreated to their mountain lairs, the wilds seem relatively calm once more.

| |
| − | ===Order of the Black Lion===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Those around Caerleon have been often hearing the sounds of horns and the sight of many men mounted on horses circling about the city. They appear to be restless and scouts have moved eastward.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The High Priest and Inquisitor continue to track every lead available regarding a string of murders that recently happened in the capital. There is word that Dalilja of Fjarora may be summoned.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Week Two==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===The Prismatic Sovereignty===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | While the capital city whispers occasionally of the joint court held in Andalstad this week, that news is nothing compared to the hushed conversations centering around the conflict in Haverbron and the fury of the dragon queen. Some say men march directly for Fjarora, while others insist the dragon queen will burn the seaside village to the ground herself.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Valdrdómr===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | After mobilizing forces, being victorious in battle, and taking control of the Haverbron region—those of the house have rejoiced. Though the North is one step closer towards being united, at least in the eyes of the Valdrdómr, those of Fjarora have remained vigilant.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Trolls===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Nothing has been heard from the trolls since the battle in the north from scouts of townsfolk. Could this be a lesson learned by the trolls or is there more going on within the mountains?

| − |

| − | ===Qubilat al-Asad===

| − |
| |
| − | Noted "training" missions continue to continue and the forces seem to be growing larger in number, Sultan Sahure assures his people in the weekly meeting that this is "training". Though many are starting to feel that there may be more to as the surrounding boarders seem to be growing to the West with encampments.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Rumors continue to bleed throughout the city about the Sultan abruptly leaving the joint meeting of several houses mid-way through it. Could this mean anything or is everything just peaceful and the army movements are just that.. Training?
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Wardens of the Wilds===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The people of Carigsay are positively buzzing over news that a unit of the Wardens has marched into the neighboring city of Brighwell and taken over! While leadership assures us that the occupation was, in fact, a peaceful affair, and will only strengthen both cities in the long run, one has to wonder how this news will affect the Wardens' relationship with Raeyithia, to whom Brighwell technically belongs.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | News about the town itself has been mostly quiet, as the Ceannasai prepares to journey north to meet with the lord of the trolls. Several Wardens scouts have ventured ahead, in the hopes of securing an uneventful journey, though if rumours are to be believed, trolls are an unpredictable lot.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Week One==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===The Prismatic Sovereignty===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Rumors from the capital city are scarce this week, though they say the Queen is still taking her daily walks down to check on the men sent from Emlyn. The banners of the Sovereignty are seen near Haverbron again, as more men gather within the stronghold and those same banners fly proudly to the west over Estervern now, announcing the Sovereignty's claim on the region.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Andalstad itself seems calm, though perhaps a sense of waiting sits heavy over the capital city.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Valdrdómr===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Though the higher-ranking members of the House have noticeably been absent as of late, army units continue to move erratically throughout the Fjarora region. Some say it is a distracting tactics, meant to alley fears of attack, others comment that perhaps dissension lives within the Valdrdómr.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Are those of the house still committed to a united North? Do they still hold the Northern Pantheon of Gods in high regard? Only time will tell.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Wardens of the Wilds===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Word from the Wilds reaches Carigsay that, though the Wardens have yet to make contact - or even locate - the troll encampment, the process of elimination seems to have worked in their favor, and only a few unexplored bits of the northern mountains remain. The Ceannasai has even been heard saying she would make the journey herself, in hopes of speaking with the lord of the trolls.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Additionally, there are hushed rumors that a contingent of Wardens have not ventured north with the others, but instead are engaged in what some are calling "aggressive negotiations." Will their deeds pay off in putting Carigsay on the map? Or do they simply paint a target upon their own backs? No one knows for certain, and leadership is frustratingly mum on the subject.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sounds of construction have finally faded once more, as the Ceannasai's latest project reaches completion, and the town of Carigsay now boasts a bath house to rival the finest capital establishments.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Order of the Black Lion===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Scouts watching Emlyn forces in the North note that forces arrived at Andalstad and have not shown any sign of preparing to mobilize anytime in the short term. While Caerleon officials state that the armies are there for "peacekeeping," the mission has provided a secondary benefit - a successful cultural exchange between two peoples that do not often encounter one another.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | On a darker note, rumors have escaped Caerleon of grisly murders that transpired within the walls. The delay between the time of the murders and the rumors escaping suggest local authorities may have attempted to cover up the incidents as much as possible, however, with the number of victims and witnesses it became impossible. A garrison was called back to the capital and one would note an increased presence of guards, even late into the night. Some believe a habitual murderer has taken residence in Caerleon, others suggest it was done in a way to send a message. Servants may be heard discussing how they cleaned up blood and limbs.

| |
| − | During this past weekly meeting for several houses it was noted that the Sultan abruptly left the processing's to never return. Several locals speculate that there is tensions building from the Northern lands.

| |
| − | Word is that the trolls have started to take back to the mountains after a skirmish ensued leaving many dead trolls. Unsure of who or what took part in this battle at the entrance of the mountain pass.
