Rebels Rampage!
Allies or foes? Nobodys knows!
The rebels, clearly not satisfied with opposing the King took to fighting one another yesterday. Trinsics streets were filled with rebels (Loyalist town indeed!), armed to the teeth with weapons and insults!
Tensions ran high last night between the crooked Kaldorians ad the cowardly Covians, begging the question, just how strong is their alliance?
The Trinsicans stood baffled as fighting roared through their town, people of all ages grabbing a weapon and fighting one another. The Covians claiming Kaldorians were traitors, stupid, and a whole list of insults, and the Kaldorians not taking time to argue back, grabbing weapons and defending their name.
The first casualty however was that of a mere civillian, later I discovered why. The man, a worker at Swaggers Inn, after finding his way back to his feet, and nursing some wounds, was heard to shout
"Swaggers will be a Loyalist ONLY tavern!".
Seems even the citizens of Vesper are beginning to see sense and turn against the rebels.
My sister also sent me this statement from Cove;
''Jus tryin' ter get a drink I wos. Sat in der tavern dere, and dis bunch o' Kaldorians stormed in shoutin' all sorts! 'Em Covians wern't ter happy. 'Em were even sayin' they wos finally goin' ter get ter take some sort o' revenge on 'em Kaldorian scum. I wos shocked, I ain't never fort people cud beh so rude''.
Seems the trouble spread further than just Trinsic, right into the heart of the rebels.
Call it a day and join the right side! Long live the King!
Haven Heroics!
Loyalists storm towards an ill-fate at the hands of rebellious Haven!
From your correspondent in unfashionable places
Last night the quiet of our island was disturbed by the invasion of something more threatening than the customary incursions of mongbats and horde minions.
There seemed to be several waves of troubles, which may or may not be connected.
A pile of bodies littered the streets near the forge, and the militia were nowhere to be seen. A little while later, some seriously injured members of General Darkion's troops limped back into the town, having repelled some invaders from Jhelon, it seems.
The general and his troops took some time in the town square recovering from their injuries, and explained how the Jhelomites had tried to attack the island in two waves: however it is a long way from Jhelom by sea, and those invading troops must have been either seasick or suffering from nightshade poisoning. In any case, they never reached the town, or rather village.
Later, however, a band of ruffians in black robes ran wild in the town, causing serious injury and consternation.
Haven is no longer simply unfashionable, but also lawless, and I will be submitting my claim for an increase in salary to cover compensation for mental anguish.
Rebels move on Yew!
Blood shed and tears
Sunday saw yet more blood fill the lands of Britainnia as rebels took to sotrming more of the Kings land. Marching through Yew as if they owned it, the rebels stormed undeserving Loyalists. While the battle began, healers from all over Sosaria set up a field hospital ready to tend to those wounded.
The battle seemed to be over fairly quickly, the rebels being forced form Stonekeep by a vareity of Loyalists. Though, as they settled back into routine, a handful of men in green returned whispering something to the Captain. I've never seen the men arm themselves so fast.. they armed up and charged, so bravely, towards the field hospital. The rebels had been gathering up again, and the Loyalists were determined to rid them from their land. After what seemed an endless battle, the rebels just kept coming, and soon, unfortunately over powered the Loyalists. Loyalists of Sosaria, don't be discouraged! We -will- beat the rebels if we stick together! Hail the King!

Rumours
Duke Irvyn seems to of disappeared, last week he ventured off to Spiritwood and hasn't been seen since. Has Lady Caroline finally sent him insane and he's done a runner? She has been heard nagging him more than usual lately, or could it be something to do with the disappearance of Miss Seriya DeLacey? All I know is, something's amiss! Answers on a post-card please.
Swaggers Inn is rumoured to now be a Loyalist only tavern! Where will the rebels go? Does anyone even care? We need to rid Sosaria of more rebel locations! Good on you Swaggers!
