Congratulate the newly weds,\n                           Kilkenny and Keanne StarProfit.\nThen chaos reigned as all rained praise and best wishes on the new couple\nbefore Romani provided transportation to whisk the pair away for a brief and\nsecluded honeymoon.\n\nBest wishes to Keanne and Kilkenny StarProfit.\n\n(End)                                                                 Page: 008\n_______________________________________________________________________________\n|_____________________________________________________________________________\/\n\n\n\n ______________________\n\/ Nation News - Quendi \\______________________________________________________\n|_____________________________________________________________________________\\\n\nGreetings my good friends,\n \nYet another month has passed and it seems that time has been slipping by like\nsand in an hour glass. I have seen many years go by, I lost old friends but in\naddition made new ones along the way.\n \nMany thoughts have crossed my mind since the words of war have spread through\nthe lands. Just what is it that we are trying to ultimately achieve? \nFame, fortune, victory? Whatever it might be, if we vanquish those around us...\nwho do we share our stories with or hear tales of old? What is the point to \nerase an entire nation and its history? How bland would the world be if only\none race ruled the earth? So many questions but so little answers.\nAlas, here I go again. An old owls melancholic thoughts. As you might have \nnoticed at this point, I tend to drift away from the matter at hand. I shall\nstop myself here and continue in obliging my duty to report the current events.\n \nFamiliar faces have found their way back to the Island of Irrybis. Among them\nmy own master, Amaris Elvea'Saa along with her servant Mara. Both were not\nmeant to spend time in Arborlon and I foresee confrontations in the future\nwith both Octavian Elvea'Saa, her father, and her husband Ka'el Cuthalion.\nI cherish my master dearly but I am afraid she gets herself in trouble one too\nmany times. However, time has proven that her path is protected and that she\nwill prevail in those circumstances presented to her.\n                                                                    (Continued)\n                                                                      Page: 009\n_______________________________________________________________________________\n|_____________________________________________________________________________\/\n\n\n\n\n ______________________\n\/ Nation News - Quendi \\______________________________________________________\n|_____________________________________________________________________________\\\n\nAlthough I am not a particular enthusiast of what some might call \"rumour mill\"\nI will have to mention a few things that have come to my ears.\n \nStrange things seem to surround our Tari Anabaena as of late. Not only has she \nbeen seen sneaking away from her royal bodyguards but as rumour has it, she was\nbrought into relation with a group by the name of \"The Baali\". Physical changes\nhave been reported as well, mismatched eyes and a mysterious vine draped\naround her leg make way for many speculations.\n \nBack to the facts, my friends:\n\n- Voardaerin Icewrayth has been announced as the Leader of the Magi Council\n- Bertushanon Dublas has returned to the Island and is running the Inn again\n- Alessia and Anduin Narvinye have offered their help in the times of war\n- Several fleets of the Pixie and Lizardmen Nation are ashore to aid the Elves\n- The Tinu Elena has set sail carrying several mages towards the orc fleet,\n  lead by Voardaerin who has also dispatched mages to the other nation ships\n- Preparations across the Elven army continue as the battle draws near\n \n        As always, I bid you a good day and hope to see you again soon.\n                      Kindest regards, Mordikay the White\n(End)                                                                 Page: 010\n_______________________________________________________________________________\n|_____________________________________________________________________________\/\n\n\n\n ________________________\n\/ Nation News - Tyrrhenu \\____________________________________________________\n|_____________________________________________________________________________\\\n\nSpring has settled nicely over the Vale of Nidaros.  New fawns frolic along\nside their mothers near the brook, birds sing and drops dew cling to the soft\npetals of the blossoms.\n \nThe winds are soft and warm as they blow through the branches of the elder\ntrees, carrying with them tales of war in far off lands.\n \nOther than the arrival of a few refugees and one fleeing pixie seeking shelter\nthere has been little to trouble those living within the protections of the \nVale.\n \nThe gates remain closed to the city during the times of unrest amoung the tall\nwalkers, and so they shall remain.\n\n(End)                                                                 Page: 011\n_______________________________________________________________________________\n|_____________________________________________________________________________\/\n\n\n ________________________\n\/ Nation News - Uruk'hai \\____________________________________________________\n|_____________________________________________________________________________\\\n\nFrom the Opallinoc News Bureau:\n \nDateline - Along the Grey Beaches\nReports of fires on the waters of the Blood Sea, yellow balloons floating\nin the skies and ships with varying insignias on their sails and flags upon\nship masts are coming into the News Bureau and Uruk'hai command centers. \n \nDateline Opallinoc - Gralthai Alert\nThere is still a high state of Alert for any sighting of Gralthai activity\nAll sources of reliable informationa and unfounded rumors are being scrutinied\nThe gnome built Balista defenses are well emplaced and fully  functional.\n \nDateline DarkHaven - Cryil's Slot Bots\nWith extreme pleasure, Klaatu, the Benevolent, announces a major win on one of\nthe Slot Bots in DarkHaven.
