Front Page: Godwins Begin Counteroffensive?[]
In a daring pre-dawn attack, the Godwin army has quickly and decisively brought Doraat under their control. And we have word that in concurrent attacks, the Armes Western Marine Corps invaded Estrise, and the Armes Southern Western Corps made an assault on Sable.
With simultaneous attacks, in Doraat, Estrise and Sable, it seems clear that the Godwin faction has made an alliance with the Armes Army, suddenly putting the Prince in an inferior military position. Just as had been feared, the Godwins have conspired with a foreign power.
But the Loyalist Army had anticipated the possibility of an attack like this, and came up with a detailed evacuation plan. In Sable, the evacuation was carried out quickly; everything was according to plan, without a single casualty.
In Doraat too, the evacuation proceeded smoothly, but pro-Godwin residents refused to go along with the plan, choosing to stay behind. Now there is much concern about how Godwin Army will treat them.
Some reports claim to Estrise fell without a fight, though “The Dawn Times” has yet to confirm this.
Back Page: Alliance Between Godwin and Armes[]
In the past, Lord Godwin has been quoted as saying that Falena should be used the unparalleled might of the Sun Rune to take control of all “barbaric" nations. It has long been believed that, were Lord Godwin in a position military authority, the New Armes Kingdom would be first on his “hit list.”
Armes, too, has long been aware of Godwin’s supremacist beliefs, and has never tried to conceal its animosity toward the Godwin faction.
That is why this alliance is all the more incomprehensible. There are rumors that the Godwin faction has promised Arme’s some kind of grand “reward” for their cooperation, but our sources are unable to determine what exactly this “reward” might be.
Serials: Portraits of the Enemy: Childerich[]
Today, we focused of Childerich, newly appointed as Queen’s Knight. Just as with Dolph , however, information about him is surprisingly limited. Everyone knows that he was the Godwin faction’s representative at the Sacred Games, but his activities before then are a complete mystery.
The only thing we can say for a certain is that he is a member of Nether Gate. But while most Nether Gate assassins show no emotion, the cold-hearted cruel Childerich is quite different.
After gaining control in Doraat, rumor has it that he enforced discipline in the most brutal of ways – ways so violent and cruel, in fact, that they are unsuitable for printing in this newspaper. Childerich is sure to remain a key enemy of the Loyalist Army.
