Sosarian Olympics a success!

Verity Sands of the Yewish Militia and Captain Dawn of the Trinsic guardsforce, both hitting their second bullseye.

Yew wins Olympic games

Over the course of the past two weeks, the Olympic games have been underway in Vesper. Having been tested in a wide range of activities, ranging from weight lifting to boat racing, and even bear racing (!), Yew turned out to win decisively over the other participants states, excelling in almost every game, followed by Britain (the Britannia Guards) and the County of Skara Brae. The Poste brings you the final results:

The Britannia Guards winning the team combat acitivty, with Yew in second and Skara Brae in third.

1. Yew: 28 points
2. Skara Brae: 11 points
3. Britain: 11 points
4. Vesper: 3 points

Skara Brae taking gold, with Yew winning both the silver and bronze.

The Olympic games turned out to be a massive success for Vesper, and for Baron Elliot Heath organizing most of the games.

Battle of Britannian borders continues

The Poste was told by its anonymous sources inside the loyalist army, that Sergeant Hoagie, here seen beaten up by Yewish besiegers, recieved "harsh treatment" after the battle.

Will Britannia never be safe?

Last night, the armies of Cove and Vesper faced the royalist towns of Yew, Britain and Skara Brae in what turned out to be a devastating loss for the northern freedom fighters. The rebels, vastly outnumered by the royalists, demanded the surrender of the recently liberated city of Minoc. The loyalists, on the other hand, wanted the surrender of Cove's Altmere province, as a compensation compensation for "unprovocative attacks" on Britannia.

Although making an apparent rapid progress, the royalists, we are told by a Britannian spokesperson, are "expecting to reach the borders of Altmere in a few weeks". So it looks like the war will go on for a long time, dear readers. We will follow it closely.

And from our correspondent in Cove:

Cove wrapped in illness

Junior Guardsman Trent at the Covian Hospital.

When will the sickness end? And is a cure in sight?

The "Aftermath" continues as a guardsman was taken ill at his post this eve. Junior Guardsman Trent suffered from weariness and coughing fits before collapsing briefly from fatigue during a sentry at the town gates.

A commoner, Estel Aralle and Junior Grenadier Takeamada helped Trent to the healers hut inside the town limits but no beds were free. Citizens struck down by the unknown disease which plagues our town filled the healer's to breaking point.

The sick guard was then half carried by his helpers to the newly established Covian hospital where he was tended to by Estel and Ileana Leontine, who concocted a medicinal brew for him to drink.

After a short lie down the young guardsman's strength started to return and the coughing ceased enough for him to leave the hospital with the aid of the elf girl and return home for some bed rest.

When will the sickness end? And is a cure in sight?

Swagger's promote drug dealing

Legalized nightshade and narcotics in Vesper

According to posters found around Britannia, "the sale of nightshade and other ophiates, toxic mixtures and narcotics" are finally at sale in Vesper's finest (and only) tavern, the Swagger's Inn. Drugs such as nightshade, being known for its devastating effects, are banned from most Britannian towns. Mr Lyim Rashidat, the dealer at the Swagger's, have not been available for comment.

Trinsic sends aid to Cove

Trinsic concerned the loyalists might win, or that the citizens will suffer?

The Duke of Trinsic has called for donations for an aid caravan for Cove's citizens. The caravan will leave from Trinsic at 8 pm Britannian Standard Time on Thursday the 7th of August. Donations are much appreciated, but needs to be in Trinsic before the caravan departs at 8 pm.

The Poste asked officer of the Yewish militia, Radek Wilkes, for a comment on Trinsic's generous aid to Cove. "- The relief sent to Cove by the apparently 'loyalist' Trinsic is more proof where Duke Irvyn's loyalties lie", he said, continuing: "- The people of Cove have denied the King's existance and continue to do so, aiding them is only showing that you are no better than a rebel, who is fighting against the King."

"- If you persist in aiding rebels, then action shall be taken, and your position as Duke shall be put into jepordy", the Yewish sergeant added. Cove's sergeant Hoagie told us that "- It's unfortunate that the Yewish seem determined to stamp out all gestures of good will in their quest for domination. I think "Mr Wilkes" should leave Trinsic alone."

"- We're grateful for this aid from Trinsic, and hope this strengthens the friendship between our fine towns!" says Hoagie, sergeant of the Covian army, assuring Trinsic of Cove's commitment.
