By emperordaniel,

WAR! by Rupert Apatax RGNS Mousford, one of 8 naval vessels being sent to Ruteria MARSBURGH, GRAND- Civil war has erupted in the Kingdom of Ruteria following months of unrest across the country.

Scientist claims the end of the world is near by Jim Haskins Mutir numerals MERIDA, RUTERIA- Recently, a few Ruterian scholars have claimed that the world will end on December 23, 2011, based on information deduced from the Mutir Long Count Calendar. The Mutir Long Count calendar is a non-repeating, vigesimal (base-20) and base-18 calendar used by Mutir cultures. For this reason, it is sometimes known as the Mutir Long Count calendar. Using a modified vigesimal tally, the Long Count calendar identifies a...

Today, we'll be visiting the area around Two River Heights, the capital of the Duchy of Mantaines, which, largely thanks to the fact that the Grandian Duchies were almost completely autonomous back then, was the most wealthy and powerful of the Nine Duchies until the Second Island War, which lasted from 1869 to 1873. After that war, most of the duchy was ceded to the victorious Belluterrans, including what is now Two River Heights, which was founded by Belluterra in 1889. It's very early morning, and the...

Tomorrow, we move on to the awards ceremony! Charles: And what film may that be?
