| |\   | aruthiron has passed.  The eye witness, Azarek, has made a  |
| | \  | clear statement to the Chronicles that a great battle took  |
| |  \ | place between one named Cydare and the Queen of the Demon-  |
| |   \| web Pits herself, Lloth, over the life of Naruthiron.  It   |
|        was during the bout in which Naruthiron was executed.  Now, |
| it is difficult for the Chronicles to disseminate this as news     |
| without more witnesses to vouch Azarek's authenticity; if the      |
| Herald investigators were not certain of Azarek's truthfulness,    |
| such an article would never leave the press -- while the servants  |
| of Lloth may rejoice over such a victory, it heralds great woe     |
| towards the layman, the simple, for soon many torturers may be     |
| rulers and captains of the civilizations of Aabahran.  The Crown   |
| guard, Knight, is now under the responsibility of this mysterious  |
| Cydare, who Azarek described as an intimidating elf with horrid    |
| scars on his mouth.  Cydare had also failed to save one known as   |
| Osirin, but Azarek could not make a concrete comment on this       |
| individual.  More from the Castle, soon -- Regent Kimril has been  |
| swarmed with duty against a bolder force of demons.                |
|                                                                    |
| In related news, a power-struggle between the Empire Tribune and   |
| the Castle over Val Miran has grown hot, as Belderon and the       |
| councilman Raynald Blade have sought to rid the city of the forces |
| within which still bend the knee to the Knights.  The Regent and   |
| the rest of the Knights, in the wake of the loss of Naruthiron,    |
| have responded negatively and refuse to decommission the armies    |
| stationed in the ancient city-bastion of Val Miran, claiming that  |
| the Empire alone will never be enough to defend the innocent.  The |
| Drkshtyre road has seen very little collaboration outside of board |
| room talks and inter-cabal missives as well, and confidence in the |
| Empire has begun to dwindle as once-frequented banking ventures    |
| have been cut off to stop the spreading influence of the Family.   |
|                                                                    |
| With Lloth's recent victories in the geopolitical spectrum, it is  |
| no mystery as to the appearance of powerful demons in the realms   |
| such as Terrokant and one known as Vrai, of the Narysvalkexi.      |
| These rift-born creatures are roaming with great determination,    |
| soon to cast chaotic twists in the plans of both politician and    |
| brute laborer alike.  Vrai, indeed, is of the cosmic plane, and    |
| the void between the stars is just as chaotic as the burning hell  |
| so many of us fear.  Hints of madness abound in the likeness of    |
| one Giacomo & Momo as well, whose curse of the Jester hints of a   |
| familiar psychotic force, Volgathras, itching the surface of our   |
| reality once again.  Such a force yields from a time before all    |
| modern news editorials you now know ever existed.                  |
|                                                                    |
|                                           Continued in Part II     |
|                                                                    |
