TREACHERY

By Pierre Sur-coraislamy Scrivener to the Court of the Duc de Rheged .

The Death of an Emperor

Noble Readers I bring you lamentations and dire tidings.

Emperor Maximillian Von Wittelsbach III lays slain! Some

tile traitor slew the most noble Emperor some time in the night

of the 25th day of Winterfyllth. The Empire of Barrowstown

was plunged into Chaos. But it would seem that the young

Leopold acted swiftly. Despatching his personal household

guard the famed Graythwaite Greatswords to bolster the

beleaguered Furness Guard. Leopold quickly secured the

Imperial Palace and the majority of the Electors who were

there for the annual festival of Beiltaan. After a very short

council meeting the young count emerged as the Emperor Elect.

He must now wait the customary 51 weeks of mourning before

his official coronation by Grand Theogonist Helmut

Eingrimm. Rumours abound as to how this change of

leadership will affect the Empire, alredy Leopold has replaced

many of his uncles most trusted advisors, replacing them with

younger and more hot headed nobles. The Duc De Rheged is

known to have sent his condolences as are many other notables.

The Empire at War

The Great Game

By Pierre Sur-coraislamy Scrivener to the Court of the Duc de Rheged.

A treatise on the movements of the armies

of Rheged.

The Minions of Chaos

It would seem that the blood spilt by the Chaos hordes has

been rewarded, the perverted and debauched citizenry living

within that chaotic waste land raised an extra tribute of

slaves and other odious trinkets which granted theBlood

Lord a much needed reprieve. Their Embassy to the ancient

fortress of Ashrot seemed to be well received although it is

hard to know as it is an enigma as to who now resides

within this decaying fortress and it’s unkempt lands. The

additional slaves provided in their special tribute were put to

good use restoring the lands in the valley of Eden, although

“restoring” is not the right word to describe the vile

desecrations and abominations carried out by these

miserable wretches.

Rumours abound that the Blood Lord has been eagerly

recruiting crazed men to join his throng, whether they are

misguided individuals from throughout Rheged or crazed

northerners from the old world brought here by some

infernal means we know not.

The Noble Armies of Caer Curwen

The winter months have been good to the Noble Duc de

Rheged. His merchants thrived in the preceding summer

months and granted him a welcome boost in taxation

income. His Embassy to the Realm of Cardurnock met with

a warm response although the Grand Count was unwilling

to enter into any kind of alliance. Little is known of the

success of the Embassy to the ancient realm of Tzacoatl

athough it would seem that the Duc is pleased with the

outcome. The Duc has also ordered the building of two new

bridges across the Deer Whent and the Ellen close to the

border with the Gobiln realm of Cald Beck. There has been

a significant drive to recruit new forces for the next

campaign season and much baggage has been purchased

suggesting that the Glorious forces of Caer Curwen may

finally be preparing to tackle the evil things lurking in the

land.

The Throng of Karak Jhaz

Having ended the Campaign season in a strong position

The Dwarfs of karak Jhaz were rocked by the un-characteristic rebellion of the fortress of Mingol Khazad.

The Dwarfs successfully recovered the fortress after some

intense diplomacy. The Dwarfs also entered into a full

alliance with the Empire of Barrowstown and in honour of

this alliance the Emperor Maximillian in one of his last acts

as Emperor sent a small detachment of Imperial troops to

fight alongside their Dwarven Allies. In a moment of

glorious philanthropy High King Grimli Lunsson has

ordered the construction of an impressive Temple to

Grungni

The Glorious Hosts of Tor Sarior

It is with great joy that we can report that the most serene

Prince Golwaen of Tor Sarior survive the massacre at

Ulpha Fell with little more than superficial injuries.

However it is with deep regret that we must inform you that

the noble Mage Athlorarare succumbed to his wounds. The

Army that had taken the field at Ulpha Fell was sorely

depleted by the battle which was a severe blow to the Elves.

To make matters worse for the beleaguered Elves they

suffered numerous raids along their northern border which

deprived them of some much needed income. The ElvesAmbassadors to the Independent realm of Oaxaca were

well received although the Lizardmen made no firm

promises. Not wishing to be outdone by his diminutive

rival Prince Golnwaen has ordered the construction of a

sublime Temple to the Goddess Isha to be constructed in

Dunnerdale.

The Empire of Barrowstown

With the Emperor dead the Empire has had a tragic end to a

troubled year. However Leopold has spared no time and has

raised a mighty army ready to further the Empire’s interests in

the coming year. Although our reporters have been unable to find

out detail information as to the composition of these forces it is

likely that we will soon find out.

The Crooked Nose Tribe

It would seem that Snazzgit Stunty Stompa has finally decided

to react to the threats to his borders and he has left his literary

pursuits behind him for the time being. He has mustered an

impressive force with which to protect his borders and no doubt

bring trouble to neighbouring realms

The Eternal Realm of Tzacoatl

“The Slaan Mage Priests have awoken and realised that their

enchantments have failed. Their Eternal Continent is now beset

by Humans, Dwarfs Elves and worse much, much worse they

have alerted their Legions and reopened the spawning pools.

Now the Hosts of Tzacoatl march forth to war and none shall

stand in their way” (proclamation by Ai Tich Hoo, Supreme

prophet and speaker to spirits, spokes skink for the Mage

council.)

Clan Skragskritt

With no information of this empire it is still our considered

opinion that these creatures do not exist!
