Editorial

This is the first issue of the Atrilian campaign e-journal.
Each month, it will present an account of all the players' moves, as well as various rumours of what's going on in the campaign world.
Since this is a diplomatic/political intrigue campaign, I think one issue a month is a good rhythm. However, if the game needs it, there might be more than one issue a month in particular circumstances (esp. wars).

Current Threads

1/ Battle for the control of the Babyo pass.
There was a battle for the control of the Babyo pass (located between Dogobar and former Ndogo lands that are now under Kleshite control).
Fort Babyo, occupied by Ndogo troops, was stormed by Xola and Kleshite troops.
There was only one Ndogo survivor.
The Ómukama sent a reinforcement army, but a truce was called.
The Xola commander of the raiding troops, prince Nari ibn Aman, went to Dôgu and held several (secret) talks with the Ómukama.

2/ The Githzerai plateau
The Githzerai (an outer planar race) have been living on the plateaux above Dogobar for about five years.
Since their arrival, the soil has become infertile, and the rivers which flow from the plateaux into Dogobar ever shallower.
Two Xola tribes, the Kwaggas and the Awilis, have united in order to drive the Githzerai out of this world.
After some skirmishes, they are now besieging one of the five Githzerai towers.

3/ Serendíb
Serendíb is a huge island in the Siren Sea. Most of it is dense jungle, but the western coast is very fertile and settled by Meshuesh and Pheacian colonists. These used to be allies against the Bandogo, but since the destruction of the Ndogo fleet, tension has been growing between the former allies.
The Pheacians have conquered a Meshuesh town, and an arms race is in sight.

4/ Mâfia
Mâfia is an island north of Serendíb. It used to be part of the kingdom of Dogobar but to-day it is Pheacian-controlled.
Ethnically, the population is equally split between Ndogo and Xola fishermen.
Lately, the Pheacians have incited the Xolas to harass the Bandogo which, in turn, are now claiming Mâfia should be returned to Dogobar.

PS
For those for whom it might not be clear, the inhabitants of Dogobar are called the Bandogo. And the word 'Ndogo' pertains to all things from Dogobar.
