War comes to Rael

[Dezza]

500 more Raelian soldiers have arrived at Castle Mask after an angry mob stormed the courtyard demanding the release of the Baroness.

Lord Rancion III has publically addressed the mob after they were subdued with brutal efficiency by the Raelian forces. He told them that the Baroness is considering certain proposals he has put to her and cannot be disturbed. He warns everyone to return to their homes and that he and his forces will remain only so long as to complete their mission.

Lord Rancion III has now placed a curfew on the castle and its surrounds enforced by local guards and supplemented by his own forces.

A total of 5000 more troops are slowly converging on Castle Mask.

A local Rofireinite Captain has been redeployed to Prantz after questioning the veracity of Lord Rancion III's actions in Castle Mask. A situation that the Rofireinites are currently investigating.

As the Raelite troops cross the border into Castle Mask territory word is passed down to all Rofireintes in the field.

"You are hereby commanded to return to Rael sovereign lands and are not permitted to cross into any other nation or independents city own lands."

Chaos seems to have taken control of Rael.

A southern army unit comprising 5000 soldiers has been routed by a smaller Lorite force south of Castle Mask and then Lord Rancion II has been forced to withdraw from Castle Mask and return to Prantz bring with him the bulk of all armies south of Prantz.

Word is only just starting to leave Rael as a great pall of smoke rises above the area of the nation where Prantz sits.

Rumours are that the Cult has struck again and this time its at the heart of Rael itself. Many sections of Prantz are aflame including many houses and properties in the Haft Lakes district and other areas of the city.

Initial reports indicate that a large barracks housing city militia has gone up in flames trapping and killing 150 local militia.

Conflicting reports are surfacing everywhere but one thing remains sure, a large cloud of black smoke is now drifting on an easterly wind across Rael with no signs of abating at present.
