Update 2: 1501-1502
The year began with a Grand Royal Wedding between Kenethica and Arathor. Those in attendance included the Royal families of Kenethica and Arathor. No lords showed up despite invitations sent, the 2 kings felt slighted by this as they went out of their way to create a grand wedding only to have no Lords or Ladies attend.
Upon returning to Kenethica King Dashwood was further angered when he discovered only one of the Lords (Lord Emmanuel) responded to his summons that all Lords respond to the Royal Palace. He has dispatched his army to order these Lords to arrive at Dashwood Castle for a meeting with the King. Prince Richard Dashwood leads this force. Though Prince Dashwood has made note of a particular ship in port at the province Noppin and reported the fact to his father. After the meeting with Lord Emmanuel the King let him leave knowing full well that Emmanuel's province was not responsible for the raid against Arathor and a purse of 100 gold coins for being the only Lord to answer his summons.
Upon returning to his castle, King Umbridge received an messenger from the north. The Province of Norland was raided Hill Bandits from the mountains and they fear there are no survivors from the Tavadon Family. The King has sent an army to investigate.
Meanwhile in Thala, Lord Stallenbach began constructing a camp in the forests. It will begin production near the end of the year and they will produce more quality lumber. Lord Stallenbach also welcomed a new child to the world late in the year, the child was a girl and was named Charlotte.
Lord Strelkov has likewise began construction of a camp in the mountains of Warmania. It is a small range and it is likely they will get only Stone out of it, but like the Stallenbach project, they must wait until early next year to discover just what the mountains will produce.
Lord Durgethorn and the merchants of Nosaj have finally reached a compromise. Merchant traffic now flows through Nosaj even if they have to pay a small toll to pass through. It was a peaceful negotiation which was thanked by the King Ander in a purse of 50 gold.
To Lords of Kenethica (minus Emmanuel)
