Elections in Caliban

After the terrible news of High Lord Kestial's passing, elections have been called to select a new representative from Caliban for the High Dremoran Council. The High Oracle has been oddly silent during initial consultation so open elections have been permitted. The Dragon clans remain antsy and none have declared their proposed candidates as of yet.

Emergency Protocols in Carmenthia

The Director at St. Carmen's – Dr. Corvinus – announced emergency protocols to be implemented as individuals stricken with an "unknown set of diseases" continue to pour onto the island. When asked about whether the Director had been in recent communion with Carmenthia, he assured us that it is only a matter of time until the Goddess of Healing elucidates the underlying cause of the peculiar set of circumstances.

Technology on Dremora

In a recent interview, the resident genius of the High Dremoran Council, High Lord Ironborn, revealed that the overhaul of the Neg'Varos Bay Navy is proceeding ahead of schedule. Once the final Ironborn Mach 4 engine has been installed, the High Lord is hoping to continue with further upgrades, presuming his new bill passes the Council. What new upgrades is he planning to propose?

Religious Security

The Grand Priest has demanded for more security measures be put in place to protect the religious affiliates across the continent in light of the assassination attempt on the High Priest of Oshozi over a month prior. What might this new security detail look like? The Grand Priest has yet to be available for comment.

Pollution in Ah'Shal

A recent report found that pollution is at an all-time high in the city of Ah'Shal as factories struggle to keep up with demands to facilitate technological developments across the continent. Queen Eleté issued her statement of disapproval and resolved to strengthen the magical barrier keeping the "filth of death" from tarnishing the pristine city of life.

Misplaced Loyalties

After dodging our reporters for months, Prince Elect Romello finally released a public statement regarding Lady Tatsuya's election to the High Dremoran Council seat for Ragna. The Prince Elect seemed unconcerned with claims that Lady Tatsuya's loyalties lie primarily with Bonebreaker rather than the Prince Elect and his Warrior Elite. 

Why would I be concerned? Ragna has deemed me worthy to rule. Bonebreaker is loyal to Ragna and, therefore, to me. Indirect loyalty serves me perfectly fine.

We were afraid to ask further questions.
