BETRAYAL AT DEMONS VALE
Troops of the Thardic republic revealed their true allegiance by slaughtering the girls and boys of the Melderyn baggage train on their way to the battlefield to aid the Eye Tribes in the close fought battle at Demon's Vale. The Duke of Elorinar was outraged by these activities and after regaining consciousness swore revenge against those frog spawned mishapen creatures. There has been no comment to date from the Thardic republic, but we believe that internal pressure has let to this revolt against the state of Pandaria.
ELVISH MERCENARIES DEFEATED AGAIN

ZITHIAN PIRATES OUTRAGED
The Zithian Admiral has expressed his outrage at not being the first leader to betray an erstwhile ally. Messengers were sent to every newspaper in the land expressing their outrage. The Thardic republic was nonplussed and issued a counter note "Let them eat fish".
RUMOURS OF DARK ELVES
The dark legions of the North are preparing for a Southern Invasion. Bored with the Little Kingdoms and having to separately punish each overlord they have decided to go for bigger fish.

LEONIA TROOPS GET LOST
With the day of festivity over the Leonian troops marched North into the Dark Empire. Emissaries were sent to all friendly nations surrounding Leonia...and as expected these are now fewer in number. Several emissaries failed to return and the Druid's upon whom the Leonian King relied on for most support failed to materialise. This was due it has been explained due to the pixie lobby being most upset by the recent race laws introduced into the kingdom.

HISTORY : THE KINGDOM OF KALDOR
Crown Prince Taffas Pendeus the Dragonslayer, the Duke of Dappar and Overlord of Tashal rules the Principality of Kaldor from his palace in Tashal, the jewel in the crown of Kaldor. He is the younger brother to King Chunel of Melderyn, a sign of the long standing alliance between the two thrones. The royal families of Kaldor and Melderyn were united by the marriage of old King Edram of Melderyn to the Crown Princess Vulcura of Kaldor. The country has retained it's separate status as a principality since then to respect Queen Vulcura's deathbed wish. The borders of the principality are kept secure by the Knights of the order of Rangers of Kaldor, of which Prince is Grandmaster. The Halfling shires nestle within the borders so protected.
MENELOND THREATENED
Sources close to the Dark Empire hierarchy in Kurland have revealed that nations hatred of Elves. Our reporter was able to reveal that a large consignment of Copper nails has been rushed to the front lines to aid in the destruction of the forests around Menelond.
Elven forces at Taralaure are forming into twigs, branches and trees (the traditional formations of the High Elves). Morale appears to be high despite the long period of partying since the elven nation was involved in any real warfare. This correspondent feels that they might be shocked by the brutality of it.
