Being a summary of the events which took place in SE Atrilia during the 1st month of Shemu in the 1st year of Lalibêa's reign (1st Shemu, 1 L).
Three players quit playing: Doug (Sheikh of the Hyena Sundjeni Xolas) and Justin (Court mage of Dogobar) just stopped answering to my mails, whereas Andrew (Governor Benba al-Khardun of Qart 'Attíq and Qart Khadash) hasn't any access to the internet any longer.
THE RED COAST
The 'Hump' commando which allegedly attacked a Gyptian caravan coming from Gyptos
and kidnapped a prominent Gyptian merchant has been located by a Meshuesh mercenary
unit commanded by Meshuesh mercenary leader Maummar.
The two units met in the dry valleys between the Gyptian settlements and the lands of the Coastal Xolas. After initial volleys of long-distance weapons, the Meshuesh and the rebels closed in.
Under the cover of the returning missile fire, the rebels closed in by a two-pronged attack, outflanking the Meshuesh both on the right and the left flank.
When the outnumbered Meshuesh seemed to be on the verge of routing, however, reinforcements appeared at both sides -- they had been waiting hidden behind the dry hills of the site.
SOUTHERN PUNT
The Meshuesh troops stationed in the harbour released the Xola alchemist they had
arrested. The man had been heavily beaten up and tortured but was still alive.
The Meshuesh agreed to transform their military headquarters into a peaceful trading outpost.
YET ANOTHER 'SLAYER' ATTACK
The island of Mâfia was attacked once again by the self-styled 'Slayers'.
Two small galleys landed 100 ferocious warriors onto Mâfia's shores. The fighters attacked the Pheacian settlement of Dár al-Hamra, but were met by wary Pheacian soldiers and native militias. After a brief clash which left about 20 locals and 10 invaders dead, the attackers fled.
The 'Slayers' (who always left notes claiming they were Pheacian cultists of Baal Himmer) are actually Meshuesh cultists of Hammon from an isolated island in the north, prisoners said.
REVOLT IN QART 'ATTÍQ
Governor Benba al-Khardun, besieged in his palace with 100 loyal guards, ordered
his elite troops should attack. The men bravely faced the 150 armed-ruffians of
the populace, while 50 soldiers from the temple made a surprise attack on the
demonstratots which were setting up the catapults.
Later, troops which had disembarked from the Pheacian galleys dispatched to Serendíb entered the city by secret tunnels and came to the rescue of the elite soldiers from the governor's palace. The populace soon disbanded.
However, a small group of die-hard rebels put on fires at various places before leaving the city. At the moment, the city (mostly wooden buildings) is burning in a huge inferno.
