Much has happened within the lands of Bicolline this winter, especially within the Empire.  The long war with Haldorf appears to becoming to an end, rebels were put down and order was restored within an imperial province.  The details of those stories has been reported by Gilbert, Lord of Reikwald, Grand Treasurer of the Empire bellow:

Province of Haldorf

Winter Realms Common Year 1020

It will be almost two years since the first Imperial troops crossed the border between the mother homeland and the seditious province of Haldorf.
The province, which contained several well-developed fields, kept by hundreds of soldiers, militias and knights, both in garrison and well-organized regiments, is now on its knees, pushing what will be remembered as its last breath.

Haut-Roy Hubert d ' Haldorf is in exile, having lost the confidence of the federation Arganaise after demonstrating his inability to admit to being defeated, causing his people to suffer.
Lord traitor, Sir Auguste D ' Haldorf has just abdicated, causing elections to take place at the Purple Bal, in the hustle and bustle.

Let it be said with great respect that no matter who will be elected next March, as lord of the province, if he is not an emperor, he simply will not have the right needed to rule.
He will be instead forever known as the last "not" lord of the province.

Long live the emperor! Long live the free Haldorf!

Province of Ekengrad

Winter Realms Common Year 1020

A few months ago, the emperor was informed by border scouts that fugitives had settled in the area of Trévoux the Haut, where they were trying to stir up a revolt in the very heart of the Empire.  According to Imperial information, they had settled for some time. They had to act quickly, force and touch because otherwise the fugatives would try to kill imperials, which the Empire wanted to avoid by choosing a widespread military repression. The Empire does not miss any widow or orphans in this time of war.

Close to these felons and therefore at a distance from action were these banners:
· The Kolons of Ekengrad (Igor Disgratiov);
· The keepers of secrets (Hubert the Entertainer)

Later this past winter, these banners were ordered to head to the rebel camp to serve the emperor's justice.  It was out of the question that the mother country would tolerate the presence of seditious rebels.  A choice would be given to them, to bend the knee and allegiance to the emperor or they would be executed without delay in order to deliver a clear message to everyone.

Victory was not smoothly gained however.  The remains of those who refused the will of the Emperor were on display for 13 days, then their dismembered bodies were sent to the four corners of the Empire to remind the royal citizens that the Empire tolerates no sedition.
The Emperor wants it, the emperor can, long live the emperor.

Domaine de Kanem

Winter Realms Common Year 1020

In the fall of the previous year, the estate of Kanem, province of Ekengrad, left for too long to abandon by its owners, was the stage of an never-before seen tragedy.  A band of miscreants decided to take charge of law and order in their lands.  On the order of the Lord of Ekengrad, Reiksmaréchal of the Imperial army, Vasily Krinkov, of the Regiment of the Imperial Guard was urgently sent to the location of the disturbance. 

Commissioned by the Emperor's little niece, Liliana von Shlaffenmark, the Imperial Guard X, First Regiment of the Imperial Guard entirely composed of women, largely inspired by the speech of his serene Highness Karl 1, and the small vitamins distributed by the first High Priestess of the Reikskult, Arha Masky, fell upon the outlaws.  Without offering any resistance, they were destroyed with violence and determination, in silence and total indifference.  The Imperial Guard suffered no losses in the fatal assault.

Let it be known to all that on the 13 day of the second month of 1020 that the Imperial Guard does not take prisoners, that mercenaries without faith or law have no place in the Empire and that only the Imperial Guard has the legitimate authority to rule of law and order.
As for the baroness of Kanem, she is asked to clear her area before the arrival of spring or to give back her title to the Lord of Ekengrad so that he can do whatever is necessary to prevent this type of situation from happening again.

Long live Emperor Karl I
