Being a summary of the events which took place in SE Atrilia during the 1st and the 2nd months of Peret in the 1st year of Lalibêa's reign (Ndogo reckoning).
THE RIVER PANGANI
The water of the river has become salty to the point that it has become
unsuitable for irrigating and drinking.
As a consequence, famine and drought have stricken this farming region.
Starving people are leaving the countryside and are flocking to the cities
and towns by the sea.
However, the recent increase in the numbers of salt-water crocodiles
entering the river from the sea has hindered the fishermen in their work.
As a result, food is getting scarce in all the Pangani region.
MÂFIA
The ethnic strife between the island's Xolas (armed by the Pheacian
military government of Admiral Yoram) and Bandogo has abated.
Rumour has it Admiral Yoram and the Ómukama are discussing an agreement
between Pheacia and Dogobar which would bring peace to the Siren Sea.
THE RED COAST
An unknown ship was spotted in the waters near Shedet (see the previous issue).
The ship was surrounded by Gyptian vessels; the intruders claimed they had
nothing to do with the attack against the Gyptian shipyard in Shedet. The
ship was escorted back to the north whence she claimed she hailed.
However, the ship managed to evade her Gyptian convoy in the labyrinthine
waters of the Pirate Islands.
PUNT
The peaceful Xolas living on the southern coast of Punt have started
building a large harbour near their villages.
Imám Abú Djâfar says the harbour is being built with a peaceful intent.
SECT STRIKES ANEW
The new sect called 'the Slayers' which has recently attacked Búr Hammon
and Búr al-Sâadat (during the 1st month of Peret) struck again.
On the night between the 3rd and the 4th days of the 2nd month of Peret,
'Slayer' raiders desecrated Pheacian temples in Dár al-Hamra, the largest
Pheacian settlement on Mâfia.
