The Akamar Herald Year Five News of the Rebellion and the Earthquake in Horologium

The following is the issue of the Akamar Herald providing news about one of the battles fought and other events that were occurring at the same time during Ray's turn.  The actual battle report that was sent to the players was in a previous post.

THE AKAMAR HERALD

EARTHQUAKE ROCKS HOROLOGIUM.

THE MOUNTAIN VILLAGE OF GROTTBUS WAS DEVESTATED BY A POWERFUL EARTHQUAKE.   THE MYSTERIOUS BEING, WHO WAS USING THE CROWN OF POWER TO CONTROL THE PEOPLE OF HOROLOGIUM, DISSAPPEARED WHEN HIS TOWER WAS DESTROYED.   NO TRACE OF THE CROWN COULD BE FOUND AMONGST THE RUBBLE.

MISSION OF THE GREAT KHAN ARRIVES

A MIGHY FLEET OF SHIPS ARRIVED THROUGH THE GULF OF MIRFAK.     THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF THE GOODS BROUGHT BY THE SHIPS WAS INDESCRIBEABLE.

REBELS IN AQUILA DEFEATED

THE MILITARY FORCES OF THE ALLIANCE HAVE DEFEATED THE REBEL ARMY IN AQUILA.   DETAILS OF THE BATTLE WILL BE PROVIDED IN A FUTURE EDITION OF THE AKAMAR HERALD.

THE ATLANTIS PRESS HAS PROVIDED THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENT

TO: EDITOR, AKAMAR HERALD

THIS JUST IN FROM THE AP NEWS SERVICE:  REBEL GENERAL ESCAPES!!!
Lieutenant General J. T. (Jubilation Theophilus) Cornpone, Commander-in-Chief of the Aquilan Citizens Freedom Army (ACFA), barely escaped following his defeat at the Battle of the Lesath.   His second in command, Sergeant-Major-General Amos T. Halfwheel, was not so fortunate being mortally wounded when the battle was almost over. The Facilitator General T. R.  Otsky (whose job kept him in the rear-ehelon) easily escaped and was heard muttering, "One flight backwards and one move sideways, to go two moves forward. We shall prevail in the end! Power to the Citizens of VELA."

The Akamar Herald also received the following document for dispersion to the players
