|   \/ \/ hile Devenon's troubles are far from over when it comes to its 
uproarious royalty, it appears the latest and greatest upset is happening 
across the watery divide from us.  Sister city Phirezal is starting to shake 
the old iron grip of Mog, it is whispered, and pump new blood into her veins.  
 
The second generation of a secret organization has come of age and is 
striving now to re-obtain the power and position their fathers once 
commanded.  However they face the same challenges the earlier wave of 
upstarts once did.  The grip of Mog's power about the city is tight, and 
any deviation from his path that might lead to a more prosperous fate for 
the town's people runs the risk of drawing Nok attention.
 
There are few names directly connected to these events, though sources who 
cannot be disclosed at this time adamantly defend the organization's 
validity and existence.  It has been established, however, that the 
nobility of Ekur is being lead by a one Lalartu.  Their intentions are of 
course nobly proclaimed to be for the good of Ellandor.  
 
Those unrelated to the cause, however, are skeptical- and that would be 
putting it lightly.  Much criticism has been heaped upon those who work for 
the Ekur cause due to their time spent away from their home city.  It has 
been pointed out that the rallying points are not entirely clear and that 
the relatively new nobility of Devenon that they are attempting to mimmic 
are not the best of role models. 
 
None of the Lords could be reached for a comment on the matter, nor any 
opinions offered up by filthy trespassing Nok soldiers.  Though claiming to 
be on the brink, the group does not expect to begin recruiting for at least 
several more months.

Citizens of of Devenon have recently been delighted by the appearance of a 
Pujmaran priestess currently visiting the city and surrounding areas.  The 
coppery coated beauty going by the name Aradia and claims she is simply 
traveling and is unconnected to the Pujmaran government. Madam Aradia is 
just one aspect of a growing interest in the cat-people city from across the 
sea.  The dryad Anlani raved about the shopping upon returning from her 
visit, and it has become a growing stopping point for world-traveling 
explores.

In the month of the Scorpion, 1426, the rumor has been spreading like 
wildfire that a high ranking council member of the White Rose organization 
was hauled off by the Devenon nuada.  The cause of this shocking action?  
The murder- and perhaps more- of our cities children!  It is unclear what 
the motives for these atrocious actions are, but the fact that he may be a 
Psionicist would perhaps explain some things.  Midir would not comment when 
pressed on the issue, and citizens waits with hushed anticipation to see 
what the organizations reaction will be.

Devenon suffers the trickery of the vile Shadow Ward as an attempt to steal 
the King's honored corpse was made once again. In the month of the Guardian, 
1425- ironically enough- the attack was made although again efforts by the 
wicked organization were thwarted.  Ever the hero to his city's people, 
Amarin successfully lead the charge to reclaim the honored corpse.  He was 
assisted by Morph, of the house Dazui.  Does this mean the filthy L'shar 
will finally learn their lesson that Devenon will not be toyed with?  Or 
perhaps does it suggest that the much absent Dazui house actually does exist 
though capable of only assisting when times are dire?
