Rubanya Sets Up Temporary Capital at Yishil

Current Date:
Oron 21, Salgan 10, Adonsik 40, Vylor Cledman VI
(21st Day of the 10th Month, 40th year of the reign of Emperor Cledman VI)

Rubanya Cledman, now declaring himself Imperial Regent has set up his headquarters at Yishil, the capital of Salan Slythia. Rumors are that Ulor Konigak of Slythia is neither cooperating nor hindering the Regent. The regent has control of the Slythia garrison and has begun issuing a blizzard of decrees.

The Regent ordered all Uloro to seize control of Imperial Army garrisons and to prepare to send troops outside their provinces. He has also dismissed from Imperial service all the soldiers in Zekran. Furthermore, he has issued decrees dismissing the Uloro of these 13 provinces: Frayethay, Kast, Uvinshakh Voint, Tanan, Flitran, Logoria, Sishan, Kikalan Tros, Kikalan Inuva, Lisal Koppa, Ravelonia, Baaniferan and Zurian. The Regent has appointed his son, Prince Durbanyva as Ulor of Frayethay, and Prince Durbanyva's three children as Uloro of nearby provinces. Prince Shalimuk was appointed Ulor of Kast, his younger brother Prince Nalimuk was appointed Ulor of Uvinshakh Voint, and his younger sister, Princess Evanit, was appointed Ulor of Tavan.

Ulor Gefanin of Salan Glantogran resigns

Current Date:
Oron 19, Salgan 10, Adonsik 40, Vylor Cledman VI
(19th Day of the 10th Month, 40th year of the reign of Emperor Cledman VI)

In an unexpected move, Ulor Gefanin of Salan Glantogran resigned. Glantogran province borders Helmarie, which recently declared independence and is near Aatan which also declared independence. With tensions running high in the region and the ancient animosity between the Tronds of Helmarie and the Red Hand tribes of Glantogran rekindled, there could not be a worse time for Glantogran province to be leaderless. Yet there is no Ulor Ekanor to step in so Glantogran remains leaderless until a new Ulor is appointed by the Imperial government which itself appears to be in some disarray.

Lord Chancellor Flees the Capital

Current Date:
Oron 17, Salgan 10, Adonsik 40, Vylor Cledman VI
(17th Day of the 10th Month, 40th year of the reign of Emperor Cledman VI)

The Lord Chancellor, Rubanya Cledman, who is also the Imperial Crown Prince, fled the capital in a convoy of Imperial Navy ships due to concerns about his safety during unusual Imperial Army deployments in the capital. The Lord Chancellor was reportedly blocked by elite Imperial troops from entering the Imperial Palace to visit his ailing nephew, the Emperor.

The Lord Chancellor's convoy was seen heading West in the Glivo Trayakir (the Gateway Waters), but his destination is not known.

A series of letters have been received by some or possibly all of the Uloro of the provinces purportedly from the Lord Chancellor alleging a plot to assassinate the Emperor and place an usurper on the throne. The letter proclaimed the Lord Chancellor as Imperial Regent assuming all the powers of the Emperor. The letter allegedly dismisses the entire Imperial Army command in Zekran, appoints the Lord Chancellor as the new Imperial Army commander and gives the Ulor of each province authority to command Imperial troops in their province.

It is unclear who is in control of the Imperial Army. There are rumors that its commander, Gurikan Falanorata Krulmuk has been assassinated. Several phalanxes of Imperial troops from nearby provinces have been seen entering the city and phalanxes of the Zekran garrison that normally stay in their barracks have been seen guarding the city gates and the Imperial Palace.

Soldiers of the elite Kantora Ramoro have been seen guarding the Imperial Navy headquarters at Zekran.

Helmarie and Aatan Declare Independence!

Current Date:
Oron 24, Salgan 9, Adonsik 40, Vylor Cledman VI
(24th Day of the 9th Month, 40th year of the reign of Emperor Cledman VI)

On Oron 23, Salgan 9, Ulor Esinie declared the independence of Helmarie Province from the Zekresh Empire. Troops of the Imperial Army garrison in Helmarie appear to be supporting Ulor Esinie. Most of the troops are members of the Trond tribes as is Ulor Esinie and most of the population of the province. Members of the Glant Ogra tribes, traditional enemies of the Tronds, who live in Helmarie have begun preparing to defend themselves. Zekresh and Frayeth soldiers have been purged from the army units of the Helmarie garrison. After their dismissal, Zekresh and Frayeth soldiers reportedly went on a rampage across the countryside as they left the province. Verronese merchants began fleeing the provincial capital of Kast Foramyva within hours of the announcement.



The following day, Ulor Wanderjar of Aatan declared the independence of Aatan Province from the Zekresh Empire. The loyalty of the troops of the Imperial Army garrison in Aatan is unclear. Celebrations broke out in Renifar and people from across the province have been answering the Ulor's call for the formation of an "Aatanian" military. There are reports of thousands of volunteers.
