"Keeping Tabs on the Nations"

Kingdom Caelium

Lady Lya has spent the past Spring in her ancestral homeland, boosting the morale of the Winds considerably. Though some wonder why her husband and daughter were not in attendance, her coming had been heralded mostly with joy. However, in Maelstrom and now filtering into Talen'sul, rumors are circulating that the King has fallen into poor health. Further rumors suggest that this is a false rumor propogated by the noble class to cover for the fact that the King has run off with a lover. Another murder strikes in Talen'sul - this time collecting the life of one of Talen'sul's own guards. The guards have been very hush-hush on the matter, but this leaves many citizens questioning the safety of their homeland. Some point to the recent surge of crime in Ronduin and suggest that since the coming of Morilanta, global crime has increased. In other news, the grand opening of Elysium went by without much notice. Many Wind types ignore the subterranean city, preferring their ancestral homes open to the airways, but other elementals have moved right in, glad to find a subsection of the city free of the congestion found above ground. Laura Calder has paid out of the city coffers a few families wishing to move to Maelstrom to make a fresh start, and eager Wind types who can easily set aside their prejudice leapt for the opportunity to travel to a more roomy nation. A new wedding has rocked the nation as nobleman Amaro Melissan took the hand of the bardic Maestra, Cassandra Harper, in holy matrimony. Finally, Talen'sul proudly boasts the chance to house one of the newly formed Alchemist Guilds. Let's hope that they don't blow the mountain up!
